Clarification on forum Rules
We've lost two members this week that have failed to follow the simple guidelines in our Rules.
First, we will not allow members to insult each other. This is a friendly forum and there will be no warnings.
1. Please be respectful to other forum users at all times.
Secondly, it is not appropriate to post to every thread you see saying that you've visited someone.
6. Posting the same exact message to more than one thread is not permitted
For clarification, it is never appropriate to post to a thread in the Help and Support Forum for the sole purpose of saying you've visited someone, unless of course, you are helping to diagnose an issue.
The vast majority here are a pleasure and we greatly appreciate your contributions. As always, please use the "Report" link if you come across a post in violation of the rules. Thanks

Re: Clarification on forum Rules
Thank you very much Jeremy.
As we usually say in Germany: ""It was time to do something". I really appreciate the banning of those people and your clarification note.

Re: Clarification on forum Rules
I would assume they are the two who were banned by Jeremy.
Such people like pain in my ass. It is still there, you can not locate it and it is annoying.
However, we will not lost our interests in flags. The best is to ignore them; simple do so that their post is not present. I think it should work.
We can't expect that Jeremy is investing a full time job to watch and react on those posts. It is a part of our responsibility to keep the forum alive and in good work. It is worth being as it is.

Re: Clarification on forum Rules
Thank you very much Jeremy for the rules. Like what Jens already said, 'visited you' posts in threads outside of the "Request flags" or "Flag offers" section is pretty much annoying for me. Up until now I tried to ignore them as much as I can, though at least in some way it worked for me.
However, the insults can sometimes get more annoying.
I thank Jeremy for all the hard work he had done with this rules, now it is time for us to be responsible also, like how Jens said.
