Here in this forum and others across Theology, the staff has been noticing a trend among the members to both report and reply to the same post.

folks, this cannot be.

part of the rules against flaming state:
If you are flamed, don't respond in-kind. Alert staff to the situation by utilizing the report button.


the reason behind this portion of the rule is two fold:

1. by reporting a post you let staff know of a potential problem. :thumbsup:

2. if you then respond to that same post, thus carrying the dispute forward, it agravates an already bad situation, and things tend to go downward in a hurry.

so remember when you see a potential problem, please don't add to it by responding and thus getting yourself into the mess as well. Report, stay out of the arguement, and let staff handle the matter.

Let's try and keep the threads healthy, ok?
thanks for reading this.
