Personal attacks / Rudeness on the forums

Hi all,

There have been a few threads/post in the past where some users have been acting/expressing them selves in a rude manner/tone. Due to complaints from other users we (the moderating team) will be keeping a close eye on posts for the next few weeks and issues warning/infractions as appropriate.

People do make mistakes in their posts however in an effort to keep the forum a friendly place will be vigilant.

Thanks for understanding.

that's fair enough...

there are just some people you have to nudge a hint to when they provide obviously false info... in which case a neg rep point won't do much when a person surfing the net happens to cross OH for info and takes something wrong as gospel...

It'll get an infraction. Just shoot me or Ben a PM if you come across something offensive (and that doesn't mean you PM us everytime a thread gets closed:) )
