The forum has it's own set of rules and etiquette for keeping the peace of the forum. However no member should act like he or she is the authority of the forum. The only ones who can discipline another member of the site are our staff members. Regardless you have been on the site for a long time or have been a moderator on another forum, as soon as you decided to register onto this board, you agreed to the rules in this forum and you must abide to them.
If the staff of the forum aren't around to help out, you can still assist us by using the report button. Only use the report button after you have read all the rules and forum etiquette on the site. If you sincerely and truthfully believe someone has broken the rules, then please go ahead and use the button to report the post to the staff. Do not abuse the report button and do not use it as a joke, it will get you in trouble and eventually lead to discipline procedures.
The report button is located below every single post, beside the 'blog this post' link. It appears as a triangle with an exclamation point inside it.
If you would rather send a private message to a staff member instead of using the report button, then please feel free to use that method too. But note that the whole of the staff can see what is reported, and is usually acted on in a more speedy manner as opposed to a pm to just one person.
