General IOPlist area is one place. Who's Got it is another.
When we do not feel that one is deliberately trying to take down our vendors and our forums by giving up all their info, then we are far less prone to give a warning.
If one posts telling me I am an arse, then, in that event, all bets are off. You will be history.
However, you seem to be a fine poster. Just remember that for quite a long time, info was being up on our finest vendors. At other forums. We catch them too quickly here to allow them to do damage. And, we move our special places, if the vendor agrees, to a restricted area.
So, just remember to not give up location of vendor, shipping methods, payment methods. All that important info.
We are not determined to warn or ban people. But, we did receive an ungodly amount of newbies over the holidays. They seemed to feel it was their mission to give up all details of our vendors.
They were warned. They were PM'd. Other members told them: Oh don't do that.
So, behind every banning, there is a lost history of me and my mods trying to teach one how to post as we do.
Discretion is key. If the info can help johnny law take away our members, vendors, and forum, then don't post it.
Elsewise, In addition to being an attorney at law, I am a minister. I have quite a forgiving attitude. k?
Relax a bit.
We are not like other forums in that we speak in code and in PM. Hey, I have learned quite a lot doing this for almost a quarter of a century now.
You will be warned first. But, if u attack me, my staff, another member, in an horrific way, then, we are far less likely to allow another chance.
As our Moderator, Ice Wizard says: We only bite a little.
We all have chronic anxiety it would seem in addition to our other illnesses.
Don't let stress of having your post edited deter you from sharing. Seriously.
I have not had one problem from either of you. Not one. You are not behaving as the heathens did, from other forums, whom came here during holidays, with malice aforethought to take our vendors and possibly our forum down.
So, we added rules. We never had them until we went public and had some ne'er do wells come on to destroy us or our vendors.
Relax a bit. I do edit first. Sometimes i warn. But, I try to not embarrass members.
Just share and we shall be fine. We have enough chronic anxiety here and we don't want to add to more.
