It's been awhile since I posted the guidelines to this forum, so I guess I'll bring them forward. Other than outright spammers or hackers I don't intend to ever ban anybody. "Everybody has something to offer," is a viewpoint we'll maintain here. However, it will be a waste of time and typing to post any squabbles, attacks, or in general fuss with each other. We can disagree with each other all day long, but if you're getting seriously annoyed and need to start raising the volume and ventilating some emotion, take it to private messages.
This is what's posted and agreed to whenever anybody registers:
This place is intended to be a place where people with Native ancestry tracing back to the Piedmont of NC/VA can come and help each other figure out what that means. We're here to remember and honor our Ancestors, and enjoy each other's company. Period.
There's tons of places all over the internet where you can go if you're looking for a good brawl. Don't bother looking here, 'cause it just ain't gonna happen.
I know for a fact that any rude, crude, insulting or quarrelsome posts are just going to mysteriously vanish from this forum. I can't say for sure what happens to them. I know my NDN ancestors have definitely shown themselves to be some very mischievous and adept internet gremlins, so maybe it'll be them zapping outbursts into cyberspace. Who knows?
By the same token, if you see a rude, crude or quarrelsome post sitting here, don't even bother responding to it, 'cause next thing you know, it will have vanished, and you'll look like you're arguing with a fence post.
I hope I've made all this clear.
