OK - I was hoping I wasn’t going to have to do this, but here we are…
It has become apparent over the last few weeks that the posting behavour of some members is deteriorating to the point that its having a significant impact on the conduct of people here.
In many respects its understandable why this may have occurred - we currently live in challenging, potentially troubling times, things are changing faster then we would like and that can be confronting. Its clear that some peoples stress levels are high and people are anxious
But none of this is not an excuse or a reason to carry on like pork chops. We all need to be mindful of the rules and importantly of one another - if you are concerned about something that you’ve seen posted here, dont hesitate to flag it or PM a member of staff or directly to me (it may take me a little bit to get back to you though, but dont let that stop you).
If things continue as they are, posts will be temporarily closed and people may find themselves penalty boxed - we don’t want to do this, but thats very much contingent on everyone being sensible.
It’s the fraudulent use of Dick Smith’s name (as well as the legit looking CNN captions) that truly disgust me. This kind of thing is the base tenet of fake news websites.
If it was just a standard get rich quick ad, I would have no issues.
