Reminder

[zarhooie]

Hello, my fine getting_started members, subscribers and lurkers! I just want to remind you all that being upset at the way the system works is ok. There's Suggestions if you want to change it, and this comm or Support if you want workarounds or help.

At no point is it acceptable to be rude, cruel, abusive, mean, or excessively unpleasant to individuals who are attempting to help you. I am sure most of you learned this when you were 3, but I am sure that a gentle reminder of this would not go amiss.

As a mod, I feel a responsibility to make this comm a safe place for users to ask questions. If I see someone being combative in comments or an entry (or if a member contacts me), I will take action. It will usually be a politely-worded PM, but might take the form of a permanent ban from commenting or posting here. I am confident that this will be a rare and unusual occurrence.

Thanks for hanging out here and being awesome!

<3,
Kat

I won't flame you. What you say makes sense, as well as what matgb said above, and in the entry under discussion. It can also be frustrating when you just can't find the right words to express something, and the crossed signals make matters worse. As I said above, I don't think he was a troll. Just someone who wanted the site to work right. I think we all do.
