Re: Meisner Mania: The Randy Meisner Photo Thread
As a moderator I am going to issue anothe reminder that this thread is for posting photos. The occasional comment on a photo is OK but it should not be overdone. The following netiquette guidelines need to be observed here:
5. Stay on topic when posting in a thread. While threads can easily stray off topic, if you find there are many posts about another topic than the one the thread is initially about, start a new thread for the other topic. It's disappointing for a thread starter to see that his/her subject is not getting discussed in the thread he/she made for it, and frustrating for people who may be interested in the thread topic, but not the off-topic comments. The admin or mods reserve the right to move posts that are not on-topic into more appropriate threads.
10. Do not "flood" the board. Flooding is when users post numerous chatty messages that drown out the regular conversations. Please don't post unnecessary banter just to chat back and forth with a small number of posters. A message board is not a chat room. Do not clog the message board with multiple one-word posts or back-and-forth replies. Use the chatroom, private messaging, or e-mail for these types of exchanges. If you find yourself replying to the same person or couple of people again and again, back and forth, multiple times a day... even if you feel it's a relevant comment... you're flooding the board. This is also true if you see that pretty much every other post on the page is by you, or you're replying to almost every individual post. Give other people a chance to get a word in.
And sadly it appears that I must also issue this reminder from the Terms of Service:
I include this because the legitimate concerns of GreySadler about the direction of this thread are being waved away & dismissed with sarcasm.
Personal Attacks
Sometimes disagreements may occur, but as long as you criticize the opinion and not the poster, you’re fine. It is when you attack the poster personally that it becomes a problem. For instance, saying “I think that you’re not evaluating the situation fairly because [provide reasons]” is addressing the issue. “I think you are a delusional and pathetic loser who needs to seek professional help” is addressing the poster’s personality, and that is unacceptable. Threats of violence also fall into this category. Harassment of other posters will not be tolerated, whether it be on the public board or in private messages aka PMs. (Note: Users should forward any private messages they feel constitute harassment to the administrator, as PMs are not monitored.)
Some of the other moderators are not available at the moment. I ask that ALL people who post in this thread please read the above. I also ask that the adminstrator's post on page 218 of this thread be read again.
