Harassment And Bullying - FYI Moderators And Members

[ABSpareEditor]

The role of the AnswerBank Editor is to maintain the quality of the website content. It is not to get involved in personal disputes between users. The harassment and bullying occurring on the site is now affecting the quality of the website.

The sly digs and conversations full of insinuations are being dragged across different threads and categories. It's making the site unpleasant.

Regular and well-established members should know better. It's a shame that those involved are regular and longstanding.

We're implementing a zero-tolerance stance when it comes to this now.

Moderators, please suspend well-established users if they involve themselves with this ongoing drama. If we feel the suspension is justified then we will leave it in place indefinitely.

Well said, SpareEd. We’ve lost enough members over the last few months without losing more.
Arky and I only have each others legs to pull as it is. :-)

[Zacs-Master]

You can always give mine a quick tug, Gness.

[sunny-dave]

Oi - get a room you two

[gness]

Okay, Zacs. Meet you under the bridge at midnight? x

[Zacs-Master]

Last time you said that, Dave leapt out of the dark and hit me with one of your shelay...shligh...shelhegh.....big Irish sticks.

[rowanwitch]

I still feel the short time out has a role, especially if members who are not normally involved in a bit of aggro lose it a bit, out of the blue. A couple of hours may be all it would take for them to get their sense of perspective back.

[gness]

True. And he grows his own really big Irish sticks now. :-(

[ABSpareEditor]

Lie-in King, I am really sorry but it seems there is a problem. I am going to email you my 'alternative' email address.

[Zacs-Master]

Shudder. I'll see you when the moon is over old McGinty's cowshed.

[ToraToraTora]

piggy, here you go....

It’s goat shed, Zacs. But often find TonyAV in there.

[Zacs-Master]

Best not wear the mohair jacket then.

"Ed. These issues occur at the earliest time of day on AB ."

No matter what time of day the issue occurs, members will be suspended once moderators or editors are aware.
