ChatterBank Etiquette

[AB Editor]

There has been a fair bit of fighting on here recently. I think everyone is tired of it. I certainly am.

Please remember the following:

This site is bigger than Chatterbank.

In sections outside of Chatterbank please do not "chat".

Do not derail other's Questions. Try to answer the question. Post on topic.

Do not demand someone else explain something to you - especially if they didn't assert what you're asking them to explain.

Don't dredge up the past. No one else cares. It is very boring for those not involved in personal spats. Take it to the car-park if you must, one in Siberia preferably (don't arrange it here).

If you think someone is being indirectly nasty to you, report it, but explain with precise detail how this is. We simply don't have time to keep up with it all. Be clear and concise in your reports about bullying.

This obviously doesn't apply to all of you. There will be a few of you who are thinking: "Yes, not me, it is those others I always end up in a slagging match with."

If you've just thought this then I am talking to you in particular.

Anyone who attempts to turn any thread into a forum for personal attacks this weekend will be suspended.

All the best,

Spare Ed

And I wish you a nice weekend too.

[steg]

thank you McMouse,.... how nice

[pusskin]

well said ed. Your doing a good job, and I dont know what we'd do without AB

[Mamyalynne]

Well I sure would like to see less back biting, it's all so unnecessary and must scare some new users away, I do take part in fun threads and have tried consistently not to be unkind to anyone, whether I have succeeded is for others to say.

One thing I am guilty of is sometimes chatting on a non chat post, Hello, how are you sort of thing, so will try not to do that.

Let's have a great weekend.

Guilty as charged mamy perhaps we should move the club to cb before we get complaints

[usathome]

I am a sort of newby to AB as I have not been on in a very long time, and have to say that was almost wondering why i ever came back, but glad to say that i didnt give up on all you nice abers, although I'm sure some may have been scared away,

[marval]

Thank you Spare Ed, there is no need for fighting. If someone has nothing good to say, why say anything at all.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh Alex, good point, but the Ed has given MOFC dispensation to be there , so hopefully that tradition may stand as it is.

Guilty as charged........I must make more of an effort to avoid the people I row with :-(

[andycappy]

about time to was getting a joke

[stewey]

Wot, no more Friday-night fights? Well dagnab it!

[Buenchico]

Does the ban on breaches of etiquette bar us from criticising the spellings of people who can't spell 'etiquette'?
;-)

[tiggerblue10]

[ChuckFickens]

I believe it would be bad Ettiquette :)

[anneasquith]

[Jan1957]

Blimey! It's going to be a boring weekend then.

[4getmenot]

[cazzz1975]

with the exception of the usual weekend trolls, this place tends to be pretty quiet over the weekends.
