Members Banned for 7 days

[Jamie]

I'd hoped my Zero Tolerance Post yesterday would have helped people to consider their own threads/posts on the board.

Unfortunately this morning there are posts on the board that I can not tolerate. Sadly, this has resulted in two members being banned for 7 days.

I want to stress that its ok to have different opinions and even voice them here, but a different opinion doesn't make one side right and one side wrong - there is no need to debate in an aggressive manner. There are some excellent examples on this site of healthy debate. What is happening at HAVOCA at the moment is not healthy and is destroying the strength of the community we have all helped build.

I accept that I may get it wrong but during this period of zero tolerance I would rather run the risk of making mistakes for the good of the whole group, than let things slide and weaken the core of our system.

You don't have to agree with me or my approach. If you want to keep using the boards please use them in the spirit in which they were intended. If you cant do that then you have a choice to leave.

Be supportive, kind, open-minded and magnanimous.

We are survivors, we should survive together, not against each other. Havent we had enough persecution in our lives, without persecuting each other here?

I apologise to the new members who have recently joined into this situation.

I've never seen anything like it before on this site. Sometimes things get a little heated, someone else calls them out and then apologies all round. Never anything like this before this is usually a very respectful site.
