Cleaning Up the FE Forum

[Sam]

I am determined to get rid of the fighting on this sub-forum. I have issued a number of warnings to quite a few members and I will also make this statement publicly.

We are now taking a zero tolerance approach to fighting in this forum. If someone has been warned and they violate it, they will be banned, simple as that. This includes long time members and people who have 5,000 plus posts as well as a newbie with just five. If you have been warned and then make personal attacks, that is it.

Furthermore, responding to a personal attack with an attack back will also subject someone to a ban. If you don't like a post, you can report it and the moderators will make their own judgement if it warrants action or not. If you don't like the moderators decision, you can always email or pm me. However, you may not respond with your own attack that perpetuates the fight.

I reserve the right to change my mind about any of this, but as of now, you guys will either learn to co-exist in a more peaceful manner and keep your criticisms about companies and tactics and not people, or people will be "asked" to leave.

Thanks

^^I think this is a good move.

The reason we tend to have less fighting in the Senior Insurance section is that we take more naps during the week and are less cranky.

Go Med Supps! We're #1!

Just clarifying -- we can "attack" (perhaps civily) a persons's ideas still, correct, as long as we don't attack him personally?

IE -- "HereKs why I think TM'ing for FE is stupid" versus, "Greg sucks"?

I reported you post for saying Greg sucks...

I think this is good too. I try not to get caught up in the drama but sometimes it sucks me in.

It's counter productive.

I like it when people disagree on whats the best way to do something. Lets face it you need to be a little thick skinned to survive in this businesss. Just cuz Jd or tins called me a buthead that does not bother me.

I am the father of a middle school girl. So I am somewhat used to the whole mean girl thing. But it does get pretty old.

Go Niners!

I have changed my AVATAR to reflect all of this good will.

I am also offering free Boat Rides.
