I agree, this is a public forum after all. Good points.
very worthy of the Code of Conduct Lainy M. Nice to see you

Hi, hey why dont you devise a proper code of conduct when you have received a few more ideas. It could be used as a 'sticky' permanently, like a erm 'OUR COMMUNITY CODE OF CONDUCT' sort of thing.

I like that idea Lainy, I really do. It would be unifying for us FMs in our new house!

It might take some doing Triggers but I reckon that the majority would go for it, however I dont think it should be as strict as C4 as Trollop said, but we dont want trolls in our new house F'ing off every other word.

I just wanted us to think about how we are with each other on here. I am not advocating constraints on any of my fellow FMs.

I just wondered if we could write our own guidelines on how we conduct ourselves in this new forum. Nothing heavy just our hopes and dreams for happy posting.
I'll start:
I would like for everyone to be acknowledged by the OP if they have taken time to reply to their threads. Even if you don't know the FM, a little smiley to say their participation has been recognised is a nice gesture.

Anyone have anything to add?

Nice thought, but impossible unless you sit glued to the forum 24/7

It is obvious within 5 minutes sometimes that your post is being ignored. When the OP cartwheels over a reply to answer another. I do agree that it is probably impossible to acknowledge everyone but we can try.

Sorry, I don't agree. I don't acknowledge everyone who replies to a thread, not because I'm ignoring them, but usually because I have nothing to add. Can't see the point of posting a smiley just for the sake of it either...

Can't understand why people get their knickers in a twist about it really

I just feel you wouldn't ignore people in a verbal conversation. If you have nothing to add at least you could nod. Perhaps a little smiley could be the equivalent of a forum nod. I just think it promotes camaraderie and welcomes new people to get involved. That's all. Thanks for your input though.

Whilst this may be good in theory... some people have a better ability (or more twisted minds) to come up with the truly bizarre to relate to anything.

Innuendo is not something everyone can do. It is not something everyone can understand.

To moderate 'by' innuendo is completely daft imo.

It all comes down to personal interpretations of what is ott. And that is so vastly different between personality groups and even individual personalities.

There is no easy answer to this one or it would have been the model for all forums since day dot.

Totally agree, sometimes the swearing is off putting. I think the moderation here is brilliant, and hope we can conduct ourselves with reasonable behavior without pushing the bounderies.

I like this thread and I do think we have to think this through. It isn't nice when you feel you are being ignored and although it might not always be practical (when a thread moves very quickly for instance) the idea is very good in principle. Whether a forum member is one of your best mates or you have never spoken to them before, we are all members of a community. We came over here in one 'job lot' and it would be nice to continue that 'family' feeling.

If you have problems with the OP or with anyone else in the thread and all you are going to do is antagonise or swear at someone within that thread... 'leave the thread'!

Don't participate in it just so you can 'get one over' or 'antagonise' a thread.

If you don't like it, leave it. Plain and simple.

No one forces you to post.

I have very little patience with any sign of hidden agendas behind posts. And I have a zero tolerance for persistent BS, the like of which I see time and time again from certain parties.

This can only mean one of 2 things - either I get my jollies from being a trouble-maker, or I really am beginning to outgrow Forum life..........

I think "hidden agendas" are one of the worst problems. It is what tainted BBGF in the latter stages for me and I would like this to be a better place for the lack of it.

And why not If I see something I don't like I surely have the right to say so. Maybe to make other people more aware of what might be going on, and let them make their minds up about how the perceieve the situation.

Frankly I'm seeing something I don't like much here too, Rafe. And that's a very preachy tone to a lot of your posts. Please don't presume too much.

Is it, Triggs? Seriously, I'm not fishing for compliments. I'm surprised to see that.

After last night, I'm sure I'm being lumped in with all the "troublesome" FMs lots of mealy- mouthed people are discussing on this thread.

Problem with me is that I can't pretend to be anything other than what I am. And I'm the first to admit I rapidly lose patience with certain things & say exactly what I feel.

Still, I'm Italian.....impatient rants come with th territory, I guess

I would find it almost impossible to post without innuendo. In fact, I have been under the doctor with this problem, for many years.
