Following the latest round of antagonistic postings I would like to put forward a motion to introduce a stronger set of discussion rules with more enforcement of same. Other forums, of which I am a member, have effectively employed a small set of simple guidelines and perhaps now is a good time for pedelecs.
For starters I have adapted these rules from forums.parliament.uk.
1. Do not submit defamatory comments (comments that are untrue and capable of damaging the reputation of a person or organisation).
2. Do not condone illegal activity or stir up people to commit any crime.
3. Do not swear or use language that could offend most other forum participants.
4. Do not otherwise submit comments that are unlawful, harassing, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually orientated or racially offensive. This includes comments that are offensive to others with regards to religion, gender, nationality or other personal characteristic.
5. Do not impersonate other forum members or falsely claim to represent a person or organisation.
6. Do not send comments that contain personal information that would identify another private person (excluding companies). For example last names, addresses, phone numbers or other personal contact details.
7. Do not spam or flood the forum. Only submit a comment once. Do not resubmit the same, or similar, comments. Keep the number of comments you submit on a topic at a reasonable level.
Enforcement of these rules would, of course, be in the domain of the moderators.
