And You Thought We Were Bad.............

Someone found this and forwarded it to me. Names have been taken out, but this is an actual post from Admin at an actual forum.

To All the Jerks of *this forum and for Everyone Else Who is Sick and Tired of Them
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consider yourself forewarned. We are going to clean house. Expect to see many more bannings in the very near future. If you can't behave yourself like a reasonable person and treat all others in a respectful manner, I do not want you here and you are going to get banned from *this forum permanently, period. There's no ifs ands or buts about it. And you can whine, cry and play dumb about it all you want.

If you can't follow our simple rules, the same rules you explicitly agreed to follow when you registered as a member of *this forum, I want you gone.

Every single person on this web site has the right to come to *this forum and enjoy themselves peacefully and quietly without having to worry about being harassed, attacked or picked-on OR seeing the same happen to others.

I don't care what your excuses are, I don't care whether you think you're right or wrong, I don't care what someone else said or did to you, I don't care if you think it's unfair because you think so-and-so did the same thing and nothing happened to them, I don't care if you're a premium member or not, I don't care how long you've been a member, and I don't care what "free speech" rights you think you have on this privately owned and operated web site (News Flash: You don't have any).

If the moderators or myself find that your behavior is disruptive to the generally peaceful and friendly atmosphere of *this forum or otherwise violates anyone's right to peacefully and quietly enjoy *this forum without being harassed, attacked or picked-on OR seeing the same happen to others, you will be banned and it will be at our sole discretion. Don't expect any warnings, don't expect we're going to let you slide because it's your first time, and you should definitely not think you can *beg your way out of it.

It is hurtful, it is cruel, it is ugly, it is embarrassing, it is pathetic, it is inexcusable, it wastes an enormous amount of time and energy, it goes against everything that *this forum is supposed to be about, and it will not be tolerated.

Treat everyone here at *this forum with the same amount of respect and courtesy you would want your own mother to have, just like 95%+ of all members do, and you'll be just fine.

It's not anymore complicated than that. It really is that simple. And if you don't like it, please let the door hit you *edit* on the way out.

Now don't you love us all the more???
