When you've got a minute this is important...

Apologies in advance to all the AB users who do not abuse the AnswerBank or its members and take the time to abide by the site rules�

However it has come to my attention that a small number of AnswerBank members are not respecting the rules and even though previous Editors have made similar posts regarding the rules of the site they would appear to have gone unnoticed. I would appreciate it if every AB user would take to time to read the following so that we are all clear on what will and will not be tolerated on the AnswerBank.

Firstly and most importantly every member should treat others as they would like to be treated and respect other user�s opinions. Any AB user who results to personal attacks, name calling, harassment or abuse, take note this will not be tolerated and your AnswerBank account will be terminated.

It is expected that discussions will get passionate from time to time but users should moderate their language and most certainly refrain from swearing. This includes replacing letters in a swear word with any symbols to imitate the letters. Any post found to include this will be banned regardless of the remaining content of the question or answer; if you want your post to stay on the site please abide by this rule. Posts that are sexually explicit or lead to sexually explicit content will also be removed.

If you feel any post goes against any of the site rules or does not abide by the Terms of Use please bring this to the attention of the Editorial Team. How can you do this If you wish to report a question or an answer please do so by clicking on the �report this question� or �report this answer� option which can be found next to the offending question or answer. Once this has been completed the post will be brought to the attention of the AB Editor and be considered for removal. Due to the high volume of posts, all editorial decisions are final, and discussions relating to the removal or editing of posts will not be entered into by the AB Editor.

Any user who wishes to view the site rules in full please see the �site rules� option which can be found at the bottom of any AB webpage.

As I mentioned initially there are only a small number of people who continually ignore the rules and cause upset to other members so please from now on take the time to consider the content of your post and make the AB experience a good experience for all users.
