ksdaddy Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The rules are pretty well defined as to what can be posted here, and I think in the grand scheme of things we do a pretty good job of keeping the forum on the proverbial straight and narrow. By "we" I mean everyone here. Once in a while a thread gets a little wild and the best thing at that point is for Duane or me or someone higher up to just quietly pull the thread and not make a big deal of it. Nine times out of ten the subject stays dead and it's forgotten. Sometimes I get PMs from forum members saying they have received PMs from other members that are profane, demeaning, insulting... any combination of them I guess. Well, we mods don't have any access to PMs that are sent and frankly it's none of our business. A PM by definition is a Private Message.... pretty self explanatory. We don't have any rules about PMs, at least none I could see. All rules address what is posted on the forum for all to see. I guess I'm asking for people to show a little civility with their PMs, regardless of whether there are rules or not, and regardless of whether a mod can intervene or not.

mr newhaven Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 agreed ksdaddy! im over on some other forums and a thread was started about a particular pedal which then erupted into two vendors more or less bashing each other over whose work was better... opinions are one thing...advice another...but cmon! this is an internet forum! what gives people? sure some people have sarcastic/caustic humor...i am all for it...but there is indeed a line of decency and for the most part everyone here complies very well! moreso than in other forums i have seen...yet every now and again...someone doesn't...thats what moderators like KSDADDY are for...but when it comes to PM's treat it like an info-mercial on tv...dont look at it...

duane v Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm in 100% agreement with KSD... However, if there is evidence that members are abusing the PM system, their membership will be suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Robot Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'll bet that 90% of offensive or innapropriate behaviour in forums like this is the result of being drunk in charge of a keyboard. Maybe we need a machine that stops your computer working if you are over .05? :) Then again, maybe not. I may never get to post again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenKen Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 It wasn't me. That line about "respected" should have been the clue. I quoted respected in order to be sarcastic. I hope this guy is not respected. He certainly does not deserve that honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my other favorite female roll models They both taught me a valuable lesson, "It's a man's world, but dammit with hard work and perseverance a woman can rise to the top, and still be lady like!"
