forum rules suggestions

[TSherbs]

In view of an apparent lack of moderation by admin, and in view of some requests on other threads that we have a clearer set of rules, if only by generally accepted consensus, and in view of the fact that I have been critical of the nature and tone of angry personal posts at fpgeeks, I thought that I would be the change in the (fpgeek) world that I have been hoping for.

With these ideas in mind I offer the following and will step aside and let others add, subtract, etc. See what happens.


Posting guidelines:

1) Conduct oneself through kindness.
2) Limit generalizations to collections of facts and experiences that you have specifically witnessed with pens, inks, etc.
3) Focus on the pen, ink, paper (etc) item or topic, not the person making the post that you are responding to.
4) Cast no aspersions toward any living things or groups or categories of living things.
5) Help other members with information and experiences; reserve judgments.


I am purposely keeping the list short, but you can do with it what you want. This is just a conversation; hopefully, a civil one.
