Dear members,

We trust you all had a nice weekend. We've been getting plenty of requests lately regarding what is an acceptable form of communication on this forum.

While we have been through our six rules of use with all of you lately, we just want the following to be let known.

You can disagree in your analysis of various company, industry, area issues - just don't make it personal. It is the personal stuff we are looking to get rid of.

If you can follow this simple advice, the board should get back to being the best place on the web for Patriot information, opinion and analysis.

On the question of HUB Leaders ignoring their own flagged violations - while we encourage a HUB Leader who's post has been flagged as a violation NOT to ignore the report, we want to make it CLEAR to EVERYONE that AGORACOM staff review all reports throughout the day, and if you are caught red handed AND ignoring a violation report, we wish to make it clear that our staff will begin taking action against your authority as we have noticed some users have used their authority to their advantage.

Thank you all again and we wish you a pleasant remainder of the week.

Regards,

AGORACOM
