Rules Regarding Personal Attacks
I'd like to quote bABA on the following rule.

7. Personal Attacks: Avoid personal attacks. Though they may be healthy for all forums, attacks getting out of control WILL cause the moderators to step in and take appropriate action.
Also, keep in mind the order of a banning:

Warning/Bannings: Anyone not following the rules/guidelines or not conforming to moderator requests on the boards will be warned. If a member is still not conforming, a temporary ban will be placed and if this behavior continues upon their return, a permament ban will be enforced. At this point, if members on this forum feel the banning was unjust, an open forum may result allowing for both point of views to be voiced.
note: does not mean that your second offense will automatically result in a temporary ban. If the moderators feel that someone may have acted outside the parameters of the guidelines without realizing though, the member will be warned again, not banned. Once again, this is upto the descretion of the moderators and administrators.
In the past couple of days, the moderators have discussed issues with certain users. We are in no urge to ban anyone, but, please, avoid attacks. From this point onwards, hostile attacks will result in a warning. I'd also like to clarify on the distinction between attacks. If you're going to attack a user, do so in a non-hostile manner that attacks a user's words. Don't, however, attack manners outside of this board, a user's personality (that isn't conveyed in their posts), and use profane/racist language in doing so.
