Dear members,
The first sentence in our forum rules read: "The purpose of this forum is to create a "relaxed, friendly" atmosphere to discuss our favorite hobby of metal detecting."
Lately, there have been too many instances of rather unfriendly and rude responses to members, some, downright insulting. This state of affairs must be stopped and the friendly environment of this forum restored. Repeated warnings to the perpetrators have not worked and the same cast of characters has continued their destructive behavior.
Since friendly persuasion on the part of the Moderators and Administrators have not worked, we will start handing out 30 day vacations to anyone that makes a post of an insulting nature, or one designed to ridicule, or attack, another forum member, even if in jest. Same will apply to the chat rooms.
We are sorry that these measures are necessary to restore the friendly atmosphere that is the epitome of this forum.
