RFF - Let’s Not Lose Focus!

[ellisson]

There are sensible guidelines for moderation that are more important than political references or specific government policies. This does not mean that members cannot express their opinions, but it does preclude rudeness and other factors:
These include:
1. No bullying or harassment of a member(s) by others
2. No hateful comments towards other members or other people or groups in general.

Also, RFF membership should be inclusive regardless of race, religious beliefs, political affiliation, gender, or sexual preference, country of origin and residence. And all members are deserving of respect.

These guidelines have in my 12+ years on the RFF been used successfully. I see no reason why they cannot be continued as such.

Exactly!

All members have already agreed that posts can be moderated or removed for any reason.

The clarification regarding political posts wasn’t actually necessary however as a courtesy seems to be appreciated by nearly everyone.

Carry on!

Thanks to each one of you who has sent me a direct message regarding this thread in support of the RFF political post policy. It’s much appreciated.

RFF would not exist without its volunteer moderators. Forum moderating is difficult because any action generates both agreement and disagreement.
Its a task that takes a lot of time and a lot of effort with very few acknowledgements of appreciation or understanding.

Mods keep RFF working, every day solving member's problems of one sort or another.

Lastly we have once again proved that Politics (or anything close to it) is a good thing to avoid at RFF before tempers flare.
Its easier to avoid Politics to begin with than cleaning up afterward.

Best to Everyone,

Stephen
