I am a bit reluctant to post on this blog, but i came to it thinking it was a serious question so im going to ignore whats been said before in here and answer this properly.

Well if any members have a site and its being plagued by troublesome members, you have to deal with it, you cant ignore it, and this is where moderators are so important on any site. Running a few spiritual sites as i do, the members arent even allowed to swear or be disrespectful to other members, now and then though you see more get somebody on who thinks there on facebook, or who thinks they know better than anybody else simply because they are part of some big spiritual union or other, shouting down other people's views. This upsets members and makes them nervous of posting, so i just dont allow it. Had one recently where one member part of some national Tarot union was being sarcastic flaming another Tarot reader, the other member came back and did a post basically calling her a self important snob, the next post was me and i will copy and paste this to show how it is done.

ok guys cool it there, im not having any clashes of personalities here. any further comments on this line will be deleted. respectful at all times is one of the rules, sarcasm evokes a response, and a response evokes retaliation and on it goes. Not on here please, no exceptions or else smackbot

thanks

This was the end of that,the topic carried on as normal with everybody posting properly.

the thing is, if your site gets a reputation for allowing such behaviour then it all falls down very quickly and all members start doing it, and those that dont just leave, and its not something you can risk.
