Dear Members.

Thank you all for your continued participation within the AGORACOM Community.

As you are all aware, tensions have been high on the discussion forum amongst a hand full of you. Our admin's spend a considerable amount of time removing these posts, as well as communicating with members.

You don't agree - we get it.

But throwing torches at each other won't change anybody's mind. If you can't agree with any statement, as hard as you try, it simply won't change the other's stance on any matter.

You all put a great deal of emotion in to your comments here, in turn leading to great input from the overwhelming majority of you. Until that passion turns against you.

This past week, we noticed that several inflammatory comments are being made during the evening or overnight. While our admins (They are human - it's true!) will check THIS FORUM ONLY in the evening, they still need to get some rest (and nutrition, water and coffee too!).

Because some of you have been taking advantage of our response times during the evening and overnight, it is a fiduciary duty to inform you that any further posts, that are inflammatory to a specific poster, or group of posters, or messages that are geared towards attacking another's credibility will lead to immediate suspension.

As of 5 PM today, any messages that contain any of the following will be removed from the forum, and an automatic ban will apply to your profile, until we determine that some normalcy has been restored within this Community.

• Profanity
• Accusations against another poster or group of poster
• Flaming - A post with the intent of enraging a poster or group of posters

In addition to the three points above, our standard six rules of use will still apply. You can catch up on that reading here - http://agoracom.com/help-center/six_rules.

On a final note, any questions to AGORACOM, are kindly requested be forwarded to our General Inbox - or you can email us directly at contactagora@agoracom.com.

We understand that many of you are disgruntled about the turn the discussion has taken lateley - and in an effort to restore normalcy to the forum, we shall be imposing bans on posters who have consistently abused our kindness, and our willingness to extend an olive brach to all of you these past few weeks.

We feel that this has been abused, to the detriment of everyone.

Once more we wish to caution everyone that as of 5 PM, we won't be sending out any more warnings - but merely imposing bans on repeat offenders or those who refuse to comply to our six rules of use.

We want the discussion to resume to Patriot and Related issues as soon as possible, and our staff are here to help those who are willing to contribute in accord to our six rules of use and your Community standard.

Thanks again for your attention and for your anticipated cooperation.

Regards,

AGORACOM
