To the members of the SDN podiatry forums - let's work together to make this a place we can all be proud of.
I just want to remind everyone of some forum guidelines that I posted in one of the other SDN podiatry forums:
I'll add the following:
I am taking applications for assistant moderators for this forum. Qualifications include clean disciplinary history (or minor warning/infractions only) and generally helpful attitude on the forums PLUS willingness to spend time learning SDN policies and procedures. PM me if interested.
I just want to remind everyone of some forum guidelines that I posted in one of the other SDN podiatry forums:
- If you have a problem with another member, taking it to Private Message is always better than hashing it out on the forum
- Posts that violate the Terms of Service should be reported by pressing the little red and white triangle at the bottom of the post
- Please make use of the "Ignore Member" function to prevent yourself from seeing the posts of users you can't get along with
I'll add the following:
- If you think someone is a troll, engaging them and calling them out gives them attention, which is what trolls feed on.
- PLEASE report bad posts/problematic users instead of publicly fighting with them.
- You may, at times, feel like your reports aren't being taken seriously. I promise you that I am *personally* reviewing all of them. If no action was taken, it means that there was no TOS violation or that your allegations weren't supported by evidence. You may feel absolutely certain that someone is a reincarnated banned troll or an alternate account of another member, but I assure you that it's not always that simple. We act on evidence here, not supposition. But, please continue to report problems so we can investigate.
- Moderators cannot discuss disciplinary actions taken (or not taken) against SDN members.
- If you feel like this forum has gone downhill, then please heed the following: What are YOU doing to make it better? Is your purpose in being here to network with colleagues and discuss the profession and clinical topics? Or are you here to fight with trolls? How can YOU improve YOUR forum?
