This forum will be moderated but very lightly. The expectation that you will keep a modicum of civility is there. Only truly threatening behavior or spam will be cause for a banning. Uncivil trolling will be sent to Hell.
If you cannot handle a level of raucous behavior, then this isn't your forum. I want lively discussion, and I figure people can judge who is who. The best way to moderate a forum is:
If users don't allow themselves to be a part of derailing a good topic, one or three posts from a troll won't derail it. If someone is intentionally trying to derail a discussion it will be split into its own thread.
phpBB has a temporary suspension feature. This is like time-out for a child. I'd hate to use it against adults, but there won't be a cumulative effect leading toward banning.
This is a private board and I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
Child Pornography will be deleted and reported to the police.
