Over the past few months, this section of the forum has probably given us mods the most issues to sort despite being used considerably less than the main board. There have been some pretty big things happening in the world recently from COVID, Black Lives matter movement, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Elections etc and we want these to continue being discussed on this forum in a positive way. For this to happen, I’m going to lay out some ground rules which I want everyone wishing to post on here to abide by.
1) No Racism, Misogyny or discrimination of any kind. This is an absolute must, this platform will not host hate speech against any group or person and mods will clamp down on it very firmly as we do in the main board.
2) No health misinformation. We’ve been told in the admin panel that Proboards will shut any forum down that host Covid misinformation and we really don’t want that to happen. Spreading inaccurate health information of any kind can be dangerous, I’m sure most of you on here can be trusted to get information on health from reliable, official sources but not everyone does.
3) No posting ultra graphic images of a gory or sexual nature that somebody else might not want to see. Use your common sense on this one, but we will take action on this if necessary. I appreciate that there might be value in showing war at it’s most destructive but there are plenty of other places to find/share that kind of content and from the feedback we’ve received it’s not wanted here.
I want to make it clear that as long as they abide by these three rules, every opinion on here is valued and welcomed. Doesn’t matter if its right, left or centre, we will not be censoring anyone’s views so please feel free speak without restraint.
As mods if these rules are broken we reserve right to rescind your access to post in this section, or issue a ban if we feel it is warranted. So please don’t say you haven’t been warned.
Finally a polite request, and it’s not an official rule. However please try to keep twitter links to a minimum if possible. In the past they’ve flooded threads and made them hard to navigate.
Take care,
Axe and the rest of the moderating team.
