Violations of Forum Rules
This thread is intended to be a resource for Admin in determining whether there is sufficient evidence of violations of the forum rules by a member to warrant punishment. In the past, enforcement of the rules has varied from a stern warning, to temporary suspension, to banishment in cases of excessive violations. Several years ago there were administrative assistants appointed to monitor posts and provide recourse for complaints through private message (PM) then forwarded to Admin. At present, there are no appointed assistants, and Admin is often not available to respond to complaints.
Members may report violations by quoting them and posting them in this thread to be held until such time that Admin can review them and make determinations. It's expected that complaints be reasonable and in accordance with the description of what constitutes a violation, specifically "personal insults". A personal insult is an affront directed at a member and/or his comments/statements.
Definitions of insult:
1. Speak to or treat with disrespect or scornful abuse: an expression or statement (or sometimes behavior) which is disrespectful or scornful: a rude or offending remark.
2. A gross indignity: an instance of insolent or contemptuous speech or conduct
3. An act or expression showing scorn and usually intended to hurt another's feelings
The purpose hereby is to consider violations as they occur and report them here within a reasonable period of time, if not immediately. It is not intended that members search one's history seeking out violations in the past.

Addendum to Violations of Forum Rules Banned individuals: An individual banned from this forum, having registered with an alternate identity, is not acknowledged as a member of this forum, and therefore has no rights or privileges, no voice in matters of concern to members. Neither is he afforded defense or recourse against forum members. For all intents and purposes, this individual is a non-existent entity in the eyes of the forum. Nevertheless, by taking it upon himself to post comments, he is subject to the rules of the forum.

Boy, this is bullshit being written. Rules are useless if you can't enforce them.

June 24, 2023: zwergnase has registered again, after being banned as hamiliton, egal and horse. Apparently "zwergnase" had not been banned initially, but only his account deleted. He had violated the forum rules numerous times under the name "zwergnase" and is therefore subject to being banned for those violations. He is not recognized as a "new" member.
