It is easy to get caught up in the emotion of this pandemic and understandable to be passionate about our personal opinions on this topic. Websleuths strives to provide a forum for sharing information from reputable sources, while supporting each other during this time. In order to do that without disruption, the TOS guide us to keep the discussion civil and helpful. That said, here are some examples of what is not acceptable in this thread.
If your post is:
- confrontational ex: “what you said is absurd/laughable/ill-informed”
- demeaning ex: “most posters here do not seem to get it”
- judgmental ex: “how can you not care about xyz”
- snarky ex: “must be nice to be so clueless”
- debating ex: “your statistics are inaccurate and come from an questionable source”
- intentionally inciting conflict ex: “anyone who believes xyz is delusional”
OR
- repeats/responds/replies to posts that do ANY of the above....
.....THEN YOUR POST IS VIOLATING THE WEBSLEUTHS’ TERMS OF SERVICE and will most likely be reported and removed. This list above is not exhaustive, but only a sample of what will not fly in here. For those who repeatedly violate the TOS, you are at great risk of receiving a thread ban/loss of posting privileges.
THANK YOU for your continued efforts to post as respectful and responsible members of Websleuths according to the TOS which you agreed to when you joined.
