When I joined the forum, I looked at the rules straight away.
But, just like Police officers do, they will use their discression
I saw plenty of "text-talk", which I never personally do ever anyway. Even when I do use a mobile phone and text a message.
I still struggle to understand some of it anyway.

Arguing will always take place, as many forum members will have very strong opinions about a person or something they believe in.
If someone disagrees with their opinion, or even get's sarcastic or patronising or nasty.
Then, words and comments will come out in writing
This is what happens on Big Brother & in real life.
I think that moderation is great on this forum. But, there are times when I would criticise certain decisions and I am sure every other member would also? some more than others.

On a previous forum I was involved with, I said this:-
Headmaster
Teachers
Pupils
----------------------
What this means, is, in this forum, you have the Headmaster(Mark), then, you have the teachers, headed by (James) & (Kaz), "moderators":- Romantic Old Bird, Amy, BusyBee, Di2001, rachb, Lance, Sunny_01, Mike, Red Moon
the Pupils are the forum members, "us"
----------------------
What happened yesterday, which I never saw, as I was out all day anyway and certainly wouldn't have got involved with, as I am not so bothered with that particular debate.
Anyway, it was a case of the (pupils) heavily criticising the (teachers) decision and becoming a mob, "a riot", so, a decision from the (headmaster) was made and 24 hour bans were issued.
I made that mistake with my 48 hour ban issue, and have realised that zero-tolerance was in force. Hence, lessons learnt.
It will never go down well, but it happened.
(pupil's) don't rule a school or a forum.
if you don't like the way the (teacher's) are running things, then you can always find another set of (Headmaster, teachers) somewhere else.
But I like it here and I am sure many other forum members do too. This is the best Big Brother forum I have ever seen on the web. and I am addicted to it and won't look elsewhere.
What happened yesterday happened and if lessons can be learnt from it, it can always be much better for the future!
