I don't have the time or the patience to sort through everything over here, so I'll say this: I'm going to come over here a few times throughout the day, and if I see snarky retorts or name-calling, I'm not going to give it much thought, I'm just going to blast away and delete posts.

Every post of yours that I delete is automatically stored in your profile in our system.

If I get a "Report Abuse" email on a post you made, and I go look in your profile, and I've already deleted a bunch of your posts, then you could be banned from posting. I'm not going to put a lot of thought into it, it's going to be a volume thing. Do you have a high volume of deleted posts? All right then, ban hammer.

So, before you click "Submit Post," just ask yourself: am I being a jerk and making snarky comments and insulting people? Or am I debating points and offering information?

If you want to squeeze off short, snarky posts, this is not the place for that. If you want to discuss things in some depth, hey, we're the place for you. That's what message boards are for. They get out of control during games, but in the middle of the day in the middle of the week ...... DISCUSS, don't snark and insult.
