Keep on message

Can I ask all posters to look at the moderation policy and terms of usage in suggestions? Familiarise yourself with the 'rules'.

Specifically I want all posters to take the following on board please.

1) Do not start duplicate threads. For example there must be atleast 5 very similar threads on the recent BBC programme. If you going to start a thread spend some time (i) checking if a similar thread already exists (use search function) and (ii) may be give a brief explanation of what you would like the thread to discuss.

2) Some posters have one track minds. Specifically there are quite a few posters that wish to relate all threads back to zionism and Israel or alternatively back to the controversial theories (either in support eg TTWSU3 or against eg Patrick Brown).

Stop it. This is persistent bad netiquette and will led to a swift ban

If you really reckon you have got something new to tell us on the subject of Israel and zionism start up a specific thread, explain its purpose and discuss this subject there. And just make sure that the discussions are polite and respectful to everyone regardless of their own faith.

If you really want to discuss controversial theories do so in the controversial theories section.

Do not try and derail and divert every thread by introducing your particular obcession into unrelated threads

Other things certain posters need to take on board

No threads calling for another poster to be banned.
No threads to discuss moderation
No accusations of shill (unless you have evidence)
Do not refer to other posters in your signature or avatar

The moderators acknowledge that the moderation of this site has been less that perfect to date and too laissez faire. With the advent of the moderation policy, this will change. Persistent abusers take note
