New site rule in The AnswerBank: Site Suggestions

New site rule

I saw this as a site rule elsewhere and thought you might like to adopt it Ed.

//You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.//

Yes, a good idea.

Don't the site rules already say as much, but in a different format?

ladybirder

Already in the rules, but not to that exact wording.

anneasquith

If people want comity they'd be better off in SAB, surely?

anneasquith

Oh dear. Half the fun gone. Lighten up, Maidup.

Mention not the dark side Sandy, lest the trolls be listening.....

Someone actually reads the rules !?!?! Must be a first. Anywhere.

Rules are rules and AB has many which I endeavour to follow. However, I would wish to see them all in a 'single' page printed format.

Perhaps the Ed can list them and send us an e/mail which sets them out; with a warning that anyone who ignores them is in danger of being suspended or even banned.

Hope there is not a rule forbidding such comments as I have now made.!!

anneasquith guilty of insulting sandyRoe's spelling mistake. Orf with her head:-)

DTCwordfan

There is a button called report for inane remarks, Ron! (lol)

Actually, maidup's comments isn't too bad except for the last point, duplicate or triplicate topics should be dumped on by us. If a newbie, ok a friendly warning, but if an existing member, (like one earlier on William Blake), then bam!
