PLEASE review this forum thoroughly before posting today:
:tos: [ame="http://www.websleuths.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=159"]Here they are![/ame]
The mods noticed an unusual number of posts yesterday that were:
- bashing the defendant's looks or grooming, in words or through visual images
- using derogatory or demeaning terms to refer to players in this case
- snarky to fellow WSers
- otherwise sending the thread off-topic.
These were not one-off problems. We posted numerous polite requests to obey the TOS and rules of etiquette that every WebSleuther agreed to when they signed on as a member of this site. And still, the problems persisted.
THIS IS ONLY DAY THREE, PEOPLE.
Posters who continue to ignore the TOS or the Rules of Etiquette will find themselves on a Time Out.
If you come across a post that violates TOS or the Rules of Etiquette, or that is clearly taking the thread off-topic, the appropriate response is to hit the red triangle "Alert" button, leave a message for our mods, and move on. Please do not quote the offending post or comment upon it in any way. The mods are equipped with brooms and light sabers and will do everything in their power to make sure that WS continues to be the premier true-crime forum on the Web.
Thank you to the many posters who have helped the mods by alerting on questionable posts these last days.
And please, DO "thank" this post if you intend on posting in the real time threads today.
