[quote user="highhood63"] <p>[EDIT] Also if you will notice you will never see Koester, Six, Barrows or Furlow participating there.</p><p>I think that any forum will benefit from a simple but clear set of consequences over rudeness and Bad behavior, and it should be applied across the board. I understand that few people like the play nice or else forum policy, but (to me at least) it can avoid a lot of hurt feelings on all ends. </p><p>[EDIT]</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Like I said in the Weekend Photo Fun I new to this Photo fun thing. I see its now locked for som reason, but I'm still confused, and some of the comments on this thread have me more confused.</p><p>Whose to determine what is "rude" or "bad" behavior? Does rude or bad behavior include giving an honest opinion? Would it include lying and telling someone their stuff looks great when it doesn't? How will I learn and improve if people are reluctant to tell me I'm doing stuff wrong if they fear being banned?</p><p>I read through the forum policies again just to make sure and to try and understand them. Here's what I thought was important. </p><p><font color="#0000ff">- <strong>No swearing or foul language.</strong> And we don't care if you use symbols to mask the words. The meaning is still conveyed and we don't want it in our forum. Please keep in mind that we have readers of all ages. This isn't a tavern.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">- <strong>No personal attacks or name-calling.</strong> Please keep conversations cordial. We understand that there will be differences of opinion. Please don't let those differences turn ugly. Accept that others might not have your same point of view, don't sink to personal attacks. Nothing is gained by doing so.</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">- <strong>No advertising.</strong> Our forums should not be used as an advertising medium for companies who want to promote their business or products, or by individual who want to promote their items for sale or their eBay auctions. </font></p><p>The reply in the Photo Fun thread does not run foul of any of these rules - there was no foul language, there was no personal attack or name calling. Just an honest opnion. People have a difference in opinion about how it was stated, which as stated above is not against the forum policy. If someone is going to sit as a judge and figure out what is rude behavior, like being one of my teachers, then I don't know if this is the place to join. I'd appreciate it if someone pointed out to me what I was doing wrong and how to correct it. After re-reading jktrains post, he did suggest ways of improving the video.</p>
