To all members:
Thanks to everyone who participates here.It is the diversity of our personalities and ideas that makes ita great forum, but it also causes the occassional conflict.
When I started this forum I didn't anticipate that I wouldhave to spend a lot of timechecking to seeif everyone was behaving. I just don't always have time to read every post so I can only expect and hope that we would all treateach other with respect all the time but after almost two years I realize that is unrealistic. That's why I needed the help of moderators.
People get ticked when a moderator or I delete a post, and whenwe don't delete a post they want deleted. Some get upset whensomeone is banned and others get upset when I don't ban someone. There is no way we can please everyone.
We try to let things go if they are border-line offensive/abusive but of course people push the envelope and we have to draw the line somewhere. I guess we will have to start issuing more bans to let members know we are serious.A ban is not necessarily a life sentence (although it could be). It's just a time-out to ask you to please cool off.
If you find youself banned because myself or a moderator can not seem to get things under control,take a breather. If you want to come back at some point,contact one of us and we will assess the situation.
This market is currently in a prime trading position and I really want to concentrate on making and/or not losing money rather than with dealing personality conflicts.
Off my soapbox...
Thanks,
Tom
