Forum Charter

GuanYin

1)No muppettry. This includes trolling, rude or abusive behavior or serious attitude problems. Users may be warned, then infracted/banned at the moderators discretion.
There will be no obligation on the mods to issue a warning before action is taken - it is your job to know the rules, it's not the mods job to teach you them.

Common courtesy and a respectful attitude are the entitlements and the requirements of all posters.

2) Stay on topic

3)Respect the opinions of others through a medium of discussion. Debates can get heated, but should always stay within a polite framework respecting the points of views of others. This includes respecting people's qualifications on a certain topic- particularly important on this forum.


4) Any questions about moderators actions should be handled via Private Message, and Not On Thread. Posts about moderator actions on thread are Always Off-topic.

5)Any problems with moderators can also be discussed with the forum cMods - tbh and drindy

Charter needs a serious update, I'll get to it later...

In the meantime, please remember that this is a scientific board.
During discussions please do not refer to subjective or emotional experience as evidence for your claims. Instead, please provide credible scientific links where possible.
