This board has one primary rule; the ability for each member to post his/her opinion and not be ridiculed for it by other members. In other words: RESPECT the board by respecting the member's right to voice his/her position or insight. When you post, take a moment and ask yourself--would you be offended if someone said this to you? You do not have to agree with the other point of view, but your response needs to be respectful in its tone. If you can't bear to read someone's post without commenting outside of the rules...skip it altogether. If the messages from any particular member continually get under your skin, utilize the Proboard's IGNORE feature and place them on ignore so you never see their posts. If there is real issue and you think its outside the rules, PM the mod of your choice. NO WHINING just because you don't agree with them. Remember, each member has the right to their opinion—including those that you may have the strongest disagreements with.
Familiarize yourself with Proboard's terms of service. They are specific and they ARE binding.
