.Ok so i want clarification on one particular rule because i really dont understand it.
c. Abuse / Racism
Members of the SGW community are required to speak courteously to others. Personal attacks on members are not tolerated. This includes comments about one’s sex, gender, skin colour, religion or cultural heritage.
Consequence:
Minor infringements such as throw away comments, may be ignored or a polite note from a moderator will be issued requesting the user tone it down. More serious cases will result in the issuing of warning points. Very serious comments will be given more warning points. This will be judged with input from the Ombudsperson, Forum Administrators and Moderators.
So if you do a "throw away comment" such as...calling somebody a prick, then it will be ignored or you might get a "polite note". Is this a verbal warning or a "polite note"?
If a throw away comment is ignored, such as...calling somebody a prick, does that mean its ok and you can keep doing it? If so then where does the "Members of the SGW community are required to speak courteously to others." come in?
Is this rule actually enforced? What does it even mean? What happens if we dont speak courteously to people? Because I see everywhere people being discourteous to others.
Courteous:
.–adjective
having or showing good manners; polite.
—Synonyms
mannerly, gracious, courtly. See civil.
adj. Characterized by gracious consideration toward others. See Synonyms at polite.
I really dont understand. This is all so confusing. Oh please please wont somebody help!
Much love.
So the courteuos rule should remain in the back of our heads and we should just mull over it every so often?
