When it commes to personal attack, it can be Yes and No, as sometimes there are people there  most be warned about. =================

I politely disagree. Here is an example;

In the fall of 2005, I posted many warnings that I believed 12dailypro looked like an illegal ponzi. It has since been shut down as an illegal ponzi. People who made illegal profit are being investigated.

AT NO TIME did I personally name or personally attack the Adland members that were coaxing their 'friends' to join 12DP.  I warned about the 'thing' without attacking people.

It is God's job to judge humans for their actions; not mine, not yours and not anyone else's.

As the saying goes; let he who has committed no sin cast the first stone.

Hello Linda.

You hit a home run with that post.  That's exactly how it should be handled.  Then it's up to us to decide to join the program or not.

What I've been reading in these forums seem more like personal attacks instead of warnings.

Thank you for your thoughtly post.

Hi Linda,

If an individual or small group has a problem with another individual, then use the private messages and discuss them like Adults.  What has transpired this week, has no place in the Forums, has been an Embarassment to all of those who USED to think of this as a Friendly Community of PROFESSIONALS, and has caused me to think very seriously about inviting any outside Friends or Business Associates to join me here.  I don't think I need the referral money that badly!

Hi...

Thanks Lloyd.

Phil, you made a comment that I think bears repeating...

Good point.

The admin for every forum has the ability to delete posts. One way to make an attacker rethink their words is to delete them.

I use the three strikes policy. I will delete 3 times. After that, the offending poster will be banned. I have never had to delete more than twice. When rules are enforced, people tend to learn fast what is and is not acceptable.
