Personal attacks on other members will be met with zero tolerance. If you want to debate about whether the new Johann figure has the correct boot laces that's fine. That's one of the things we're here for. When it devolves into name calling and threats because someone else's opinion differs, it becomes an administrative issue, and someone is going to be warned, disciplined or even removed from the board depending on the severity of the incident, unless there are severe extenuating circumstances.
Disdainful or hateful remarks about individuals or groups based upon race, religion, nationality, sex, or age will also be cause for removal from the board.
Coarse language will also be discouraged. Many people here are parents who have yougsters reading the board threads too, others are just not into being exposed to people cursing up a blue streak in a hobby environment. A constant stream of vulgar language is not required to discuss 1/6 matters in an intelligent manner, and is simply not welcome here. If you can't express your ideas in more than four letter words, please get yourself a dictionary!
Also:
TYPING IN ALL CAPS ONLINE IS THE SAME AS SHOUTING AND IS CONSIDERED BY TO BE RUDE!
This is to be avoided....
It is not a coincidence that mutual respect amongst members is at the top of the board rules. It is central to the philosophy here, and great pains have been taken in the past, and will be in future, to ensure that this board remains a welcoming and non-threatening environment for all members.
