Please note that in the upper right of every post you should see a red triangle with an ! inside of it. If you read a post that violates the Terms of Service of the site please click this button and report it to Admin.

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.

Well done! It only takes one or two rougue posters to ruin the open and welcoming feeling you are trying to acheive on your board. Most people get attached to a message board because they feel that their opinions and observations are valued by others, and because they benefit from information and opinions of other members. If someone, or several, people begin denegrading their thoughts and opinions or attack ad hominem, they will soon tire of the battle and turn to other sources of entertainment. I was once a regular on a sports message board, but as it turned more and more combative and unpleasant, I retreated and seldom browse there anymore.

Admin:

I have been searching for the Terms of Service agreement.

Pardon my ignorance but can you point me to this document so I can have a full understanding of its contents.

Respectfully,

2B

[chuckinca]

I see "forum rules" in the "register" window.

Thank you. I found the forum rules. Would I be correct to assume the "forum rules" and "Terms of Service" are the same thing?

Thank you so much for this very wise direction. I hope that in the future that none of my posts cause others to feel sad or bad or angry.

I love this forum and so many of the people who post here have become so very real to me and than I meet them and they are like a gift.

If I EVER make ANY of you feel left out PLEASE IM me. I have felt left out and it is not anything I would wish on anyone.

It is good to be here with all of you again. I will try harder to do the right thing.

Hugs,
Gracie

You are the best Gracie and an important part of this forum. It is because of people like you and many, many others who make up the original cast on this forum and the current cast of members that Talk of the Villages has grown into what it is today. It is something very special and obviously something worth selling and buying.

The light and Grace of TOTV, and my dear, is baaaaack.



We have seen first hand that the new admin is responsive to reports of violations and now we all know what to do.

So Russ and Angie, it's your turn to tune back in and help with the Reset movement. ...

[flamingo]

Gracie, dear, I cannot imagine you ever NOT doing the right thing. I'm so happy you're back.

Ditto. And a super nice person. I am proud to say you are a friend.

I hope the construction of your new home is going well.

Best wishes.
