The Laws of interaction, basic community rules for the Mr Nice Seedbank forum:
1.[FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]Active debate and free speech are warmly encouraged, but remember you are a guest here, and decorum and respectful conduct are not optional but expected. From the first day it was created this forum never had moderators, nor mamas nor policemen telling users what can and what cannot be said. Our idea is that every person should be self-governing. [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Suspensions will apply to those who directly insult, disrespect and antagonize other members with regularity.[/FONT][FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]2.[FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]MNS encourages the freedom of expression of one’s opinion in a responsible and civilized manner. Creating a community feeling, a sense of solidarity and mutual respect is one of the top priorities of this forum. [FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Fairness is difficult to enforce so we will go back to school days style . Everyone who enters a thread with a disruptive, insulting, trolling or antagonistic post aimed at others, and all other who comment after this to further fuel and banter off the topic, will suffer equally at least 1 week of suspension from our the MSN Forum.[/FONT][FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]3.[FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]Enjoy debates and discussions, lead by example in creating a civil environment of mutual understanding and learning. Help out those that are looking for help, let your passion for beautiful plants be the energy that motivates your posts. This is no place for heros, it’s a place for people to enjoy and grow together![FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]4.[FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]The author of the message is solely responsible for the contents of his/her comment. Comments expressed do not necessarily reflect the opinions of MNS.[FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]5.[FONT=tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]Under no circumstances are private messages (PM) to be quoted or referred to in the public forum. Private means between the discussing parties, public means open to all who visit the site.
