Disqus + Forum Behavior
[ Disclaimer : This discussion has been prompted by behavior I view as threatening to the site. ]
This is more of a rarity on the site, but a certain card has prompted me go over some basic stuff we should know about chatting on Disqus and the Forums.
1. ) If you intend on using explicit language, cover it with a * .
2. ) Do not behave to purposely anger other users. [ I'm staring at a certain user. ]
3. ) Do not behave to ignite negatively-impacting arguments. This does not mean arguments over how powerful a card is and the like. I mean a full-blown argument with explicit language, retorts, and slander toward other users. [ I'm still staring at the same user. ]
4. ) Be wary of how you act and " speak " on Disqus and the Forums.
5. ) If you want to start a flame war, don't bother.
Watch your arrogance, people.

Here are the official rules for the Forum
What we need to remember on this site is that a majority of our card makers are pretty young. I know of quite a few who are in the range of 12 to 15. My son turns 15 tomorrow, and I try to talk to everyone here like I talk to him, which is the same way I want him to talk to others. He does not like foul language or rudeness, he's amazingly smart and he does enjoy his sarcasm (but I can't figure out why)
I've heard this is the nicest card making site out there, but I can't say from experience, and I think what Damnation is alluding to , is that we would like to keep it that way.
(better?)
