ADDTIONAL NOTE: I really am asking for assistance.
On the other hand, persistent disregard of basic protocol will indicate, to me, that the person posting deliberately intends to disrupt. The consequences are predictable. This applies, as well, to ad hominem. I have made this warning repeatedly. Derision aimed at individuals, public or private, participant here or not, including government officers or personnel, will be deleted without warning. Repeated posting of this sort will result in suspension without warning. Even if it is in response to another post that is, for whatever reason, objectionable, it will be deleted, and if such behavior is repeated the user will be suspended, suspend without warning. |

Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.

Your posts were not deleted vefabuyuk. The new topic was redundant so the posts were moved. They are in the same topic as your post. Please try to play by the rules. Repeated disregard for protocol will be interpreted to be a deliberate effort to disrupt the forum. Consequences are predictable. I think I have given enough examples. As I have warned a few times, new topics that are redundant and collateral to citizenship are subject to summary deletion without warning. I will not be draconian in the way I go about this, but I will not engage in discussion about it either. I am not talking about new users posting questions already covered in another topic. That is OK. I am not talking about having to find topics that have not been active for months. No, no one needs to do that. Playing games, however, will be interpreted precisely for what it is: a deliberate effort to disrupt the forum. And, again, the consequences for that are predictable. So far I have been locking some such new topics, or as in this case moving them, but that is for illustrative purposes, so that those who are a bit slower learning have time to catch on, time to grasp the protocol. Soon I will summarily delete such topics. |

Please consider what the topic is about when posting. Please do so regardless of what someone else has posted. In other words, if a post is off-topic, please do not post a response to it that continues to be off-topic. Reminder: posts can be quoted and discussed in other topics where appropriate. There are many topics in which the discussion is far ranging, the subject of the discussion wandering into many tangents; what I am asking participants to do is to avoid disrupting topics which have a specific subject matter. (There are no hard and fast guidelines in this regard; some topics are more specific than others, some tangents more appropriate than others. As always, it would be appreciated if users here would help keep specific topics better focused; please be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.) It is particularly problematic when off-topic posts also violate general posting policies for this site (no spam, no abusive posts -- which means no personal insults, including insinuating insults). Recent examples of posts which are both off-topic (thus disruptive) and over-the-line abusive:
I have hidden the above posts. I have warned multiple participants here that this kind of posting will not be tolerated. No more warnings will be given to anyone given a warning. But, I want to remind users here that any abusive posting or posting of spam can result in suspending the account and other efforts to block (as best can be done) that individual from returning to the site. PLEASE HELP! Please avoid being disruptive. Please do not post any insults aimed at anyone (whether overtly or by insinuation, and whether the target is a particular person or is targeted descriptively, whether the target is a participant here or not). Please avoid being abusive or offensive in any way. Please do not respond to abusive posts (or to spam posts either). If you feel compelled to make a comment in response to an insult or otherwise offensive post, please use this Comments & Suggestions Forum to post in. To be clear: this is NOT a free speech zone. This is a private, proprietary site with guidelines for its use. Play by the rules or do not play. |

The following needs to be clarified:
I have given warnings. Anyone who has already received a warning will not be warned again. Their options are specifically to play by the rules or do not play. If someone is not entirely sure what this means, what playing by the rules requires, I suggest you make a special effort make certain you do not engage in disrupting topics, to make certain the contents of your posts in no way insult, or imply an insult. (I do not have time to teach basic manners.) That said: anyone who posts spam or whose post is abusive may be suspended and blocked (to the extent this can be done). NO WARNING IS NECESSARY. That is to say, spam posts or abusive posts may result in a summary suspension of the account with no warning given. (Note that in fact I suspend accounts almost every day without warning, at least several every week.) Again, to be clear, this is NOT a free speech zone. |
