Please stop

Published on September 30, 2004 By JavaBrain In Blogging

I have noticed lately that the forums are degrading quickly into personal disputes. Obviously, if you are in the middle of one, you know what I am talking about.

You have the right to voice your opinion on your blog. You do not have the right to spread hate on the forums.

Please refrain from blogging about personal disputes and posting them to the forum- those need to stay on your own blog.

Do not go from article to article spreading your venom toward another blogger. A person should not have to clean up their article just because somebody decided to hijack it with their personal disputes.

If you don't like somebody, don't interact with them or blog about them. If you do blog something about them, keep the article to your blog and your dispute off the forum.

Obviously, people will disagree, and that is fine. If it looks like it is getting out of hand, we will try to let you know. But, the long running personal attacks need to stop now.

As mentioned before, we do not typically moderate blog sites, we moderate the forums. You can blog without posting to the forums.

Yes, your poem can remain. It isn't actually directed at anyone (unless, of course, you know the history)

I mainly just don't want anymore flame wars popping up on the forums. This site is new, and we need to get a handle on it.

Thank you for your understanding and maturity in this matter. I do appreciate it, LW.
