Hi everyone -
This post is to clarify the steps we are taking to enforce the rules on this forum.
Please refer to this post for the full list of forum rules.
WARNING BADGES
If we determine that your account activity is obnoxious to other members, but we have not yet decided if it's risen to the point of suspension, you will be issued one of the following badges:
TROLLOLO - User is suspected of being a troll and is under neighborhood watch.
PICKMERELLA - User is not following FDS principles and repeat posting with the same problems or giving bad advice.
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION
If you receive repeated reports of rules violations from various members, you will be assigned a "TEMPORARY SUSPENSION" badge and your account will be temporarily suspended while the mod team reviews your site activity. You will not be able to login or participate in the forum while your account is under review.
Temporary suspensions will be reviewed on a weekly basis to determine when or if your access to the forum should be reinstated.
The length of your suspension will not be disclosed. If we determine your suspension should be permanent, you will be re-assigned a "BANNED" badge.
PERMANENT BAN
If we permanently ban your account, you will be assigned a "BANNED" badge and will no longer be able to login or participate in the forum.
The following rules violations will result in immediate permanent banning:
Racism, race-baiting, racially coded language, ethnocentrism, xenophobia
Racial, ethnic, homophobic or transphobic slurs. These words have been blocked from the forum by our word filter and if we catch you trying to use alternative spelling to get around the word filters, you will be banned.
Spam, suspicious links. We will not take security risks. Link carefully to reputable sites.
REPORTING MEMBERS:
Please click on the user's profile on the website or the app, click the three dots on the right hand side of the screen - and select "report member". Please leave us some brief detail about what rule you suspect the user of violating. Our admin team will review the report and determine if any action should be taken.
Items that are NOT rules violations and will not be removed or policed except in extreme circumstances:
Posting about celebrities/ reality TV
Disgreements on strategies between members that have not been established as FDS Cannon.
Male depravity posts
Content you personally find annoying.
Everybody learns differently. You can "hide" posts & comments on the Wix App if they bother you. Or just scroll past it.
I’m very grateful for the clarification on the forum rules and happy that racism and xenophobia will be banned.
I am very sad that some of the women are freaking out over rules that are more basic than most social media platforms. They’re not asking for your firstborn, they’re asking for basic human decency towards women of color and our queer members. It doesn’t say “trans women welcome” it says no slurs. There’s other websites if all you care about is an anti-trans agenda.
