Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What Esty said. We've never allowed the "I'm a straight-shooter!" gambit to excuse insulting, aggressive, or sarcastic posting.

Keep in mind that civil discussion is and always has been the rule here across the board, and that The Saucepan Man has been empowered by BD administration to enforce board policies, here in Mirth and elsewhere.

I personally don't think a separate thread is necessary -- SPM's sticky post is clear. If you are in doubt about a post, chances are you can dial it back some. Don't attack other posters; analyze issues. Don't make posts that drip with sarcasm or that are even obliquely insulting. Play nice. This stuff is Downs 101.

I'll leave it up to SPM to judge whether this issue requires its own thread or not. Just keep in mind that these policies are as old as the Downs itself.
