Okay, here’s what we’re going to do:
- We are keeping the original IMHO thread closed. If you wish to comment about avatars on the SDMB, please go to the ATMB thread on the subject.
You are invited to make your comments/state your opinion in this thread, as was requested to begin with.
Please remember that ATMB is not the Pit; personal insults and intemperate behavior will not be appreciated.
The purpose of the thread is not to bash other people who hold differing opinions nor to slap at management for how they run things. If you feel that way, open a separate thread in the appropriate forum as necessary.
- The thread in IMHO will not be reopened. We need to figure out how to set up situations where there can be polls and not posts – it works the other way around but apparently with our current software you can’t just have a poll without supporting postings.
In retrospect, we should have policed that IMHO thread stronger and more aggressively earlier. We’ll try to be better about that in future.
- The warnings issued in IMHO will stand.
Refusal to read all relevant posts in a thread and being ignorant of posted moderator instructions is no excuse.
Posters are obligated to read and comply with moderator instructions, even if they disagree with them. If you have a problem, complaints can be made in ATMB.
