EVERYONE Please Read!!! Important Announcement.

Shane · **Posted:** June 21st, 2006, 1:15 pm

The staff and other members have noticed that people are being rude to one-another. This is something that has to stop. It is tearing the community apart and making long time members leave and newer members not feel welcome. If you see anyone doing this (being rude or flaming others) please report the post then our moderating staff can handle it.

Anyone caught being rude or flaming others will recieve an official warning. After 5 warnings it is a permanent ban and 4 is a week temp ban.

And as a reminder you can see the rules here: viewtopic.php?t=26

This will not be tollerated and it will be dealt with accordingly.
We are not trying to scare anyone away, but it must stop.

Sincerely,

Rsbandb Staff

Yes, we are tired of the people that are offensive to others. You are causing the forums to turn into an unwelcome place, being jerks to others. A person is still a person, even if all you can see of them is the words they are typing, and they can read what you type as well. Hate can be spread through written words, and not just face to face, voice to voice. If you are like this to others in real life, then you are not being a good person. No one likes a mean person. So why do it? People have feelings. Don't hurt them. It is as simple as that. It's easy to be mean, but it's not hard to be nice either.

There is always one thing you need to remember.

Treat Others As You Would Want To Be Treated

Basically what the others have said. You can sort yourselves out, or we can do it for you. We don't like banning people, but we must if we want to keep a civilized forum. Think before you press submit and don't make yourself just another name on the ban list.
