Some additional guidelines:
Borderline Bashing is a grey area, members who have negative opinions about a topic and go onto a thread to let their opinions be known, are asked to do so in a diplomatic and mature manner. There are times when this is acceptable, when a member has valuable information to contribute and is trying to help out their fellow member. To go beyond this, does not help the thread and many times creates turmoil.
Demeanor - (WoD) is a private board, this is not public domain, you are here as a guest and as such was ask that you use common sense and abide by the simple rules listed above.
Banning - (WoD) may terminate your membership if you breach or violate the rules. If the situation warrants a time out, a temporary ban will be imposed ranging from 1 to 365 days depending on the offense.
