The main thing that makes a board a friendly place to come to is to show respect for each other. You don't have to agree with all the members, you don't even have to like all the members here but please show some respect for their differences. Instead of flaming a post or posting something that will degrade the post report it to Admin or don't respond at all.

Effective immediately we are implementing "posting bans" of various lengths of time for conduct unbecoming a TOTV poster. Users who we post-ban will be able to log into the forum and read everything but they will not be able to post new messages or replies during the ban. At the end of the ban, their posting privilege will be returned. This is a private forum and posting is a privilege not a right.

I can't thank the 99% of users who currently follow the spirit of this currently and we thank you for all your support of TOTV. Please let us know if we can ever assist in any way.

I have no great problem with Admin enforcing your "Terms of Service", however I firmly believe that it must be published for all to see. So where is it? I'd gladly read it if only I could find it. Using the TOTV "Search" facility did not find such an agreement. Unless this "agreement" is totally unambiguous any post will become subject to criticism
by any disgruntled member whether his/her interpretation of the "rules" is valid or not. Each good taste/bad taste situation is potentially open to lots of interpretation and examination, characteristics that not everyone possesses.
