TD. We have a code we work to. Or try to. The new owners pretty much leave us to it based on that. However, there does come a time, all too often sometimes, when an unpopular action has to be made. It usually goes down like a ton of bricks because the poster feels that it was his right to either abuse us mods, abuse others, use snide, swear openly or be just downright rude and obnoxious - none of which, of course, will be allowed.
We don't look for anything other than to ensure that the site remains the fine site it is and has been made to be over the past 13 years or so, and all achieved by goodwill and good attitudes - most of the time.
It all boils down to realising that this not a site for freedom of speech in the way that some would like. In fact Danny has always made it clear that there is no freedom of speech at all on PPRuNe, more a question of saying as much as you like, how you like until it offends or abuses. Then it might well get a shove elsewhere or in the bin!
It's not too much to bear for the benefit of all is it?
