I don't know how the rest of you feel but I am getting all too tired of the rudeness, personal attacks and flaming that occurs in these forums. It seems if we can manage a month without some dowright mean flamewar, it's almost as much cause for celebration as some of the records we're setting. Invariably, it seems we can count on at least one a month. The CA's don't and apparently can't do much about it (presuming they don't contribute to it). I have seen more than enough crunchers quit WCG because of this problem. The WCG admins have far more important things to spend their time on than playing nursemaid to a small number of xxxxxxxxxx - uh xxxxxxxxxxxxx - uh folks that won't follow the rules and behave. Something needs to be done. What goes on in these forums is far more visible that most of us realize and harms WCG just as greatly. It also reflects on all of us and I particularly don't care for that. If I'm going to look like a fool, I'll do that myself thank you. I can't in good concious encourge others I know to get involved in WCG with this kind of misbehavior going on regularly. It bothers me that standing up to these xxxxxxxxxx - uh xxxxxxxxxxxxx - uh folks that won't follow the rules and behave may smack of vigilanteism but I find it difficult to stand by and watch them tear down what so many of us have worked so hard to build up. I think we of the usually silent majority need to stand up to those who flout the rules we agree to follow. There is a process in place for reporting such problems but I think it's time for the rest of us to commit ourselves to being vocal and using that process in bulk. Anyone who repeated violates the rules here should not be allowed to post here. The rules are by no means onerous or highly restrictive. Basic civility is all that is really required to comply with them. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone but it is not that difficult to do so respectfully.

I'm open to suggestions, thoughts and comments but we clearly need to do something.
