Growing pains...this is not a product of any particular issue on the oRg, just a much needed revamping based on many factors and issues as of late. We continually add new membership, lose some along the way. We all know why we stay here, and the staff are trying hard to accommodate growth while keeping focused on what we want for the site.
I'm sure some will pick the rules apart, and try to push the envelope. I'm going to tell you right now, it will not be tolerated. We are all adults and an ever-evolving group; we all bring character and charisma to one tiny piece of the web. There is very little to gain by pushing buttons in an attempt to pick the site apart. Dialogue is key, but whining never helps
Having said that, I realize there may be questions, comments and suggestions. I ask that you keep with the spirit of this site and be respectful while posting from this moment on. All member names that appear in BLUE are here to help. If you have issues that you don't want to air to the board, PM one of us. If you see a post that is crossing lines, please use the "REPORT POST" feature found in the upper right of every single post here (tiny red triangle with an exclamation point). That report feature immediately alerts staff here to the problem and we do our best to address each and every one promptly.
Please take some time to read the rules; our goal was to keep them concise. I think they fully encompass ONE factor that we expect to always be a constant here - RESPECT ONE ANOTHER ALWAYS.
Thanks everyone!!
