I am thinking of making the following changes to the forum rule number 9:
Personal attacks or insults towards other users will not be tolerated. Posts with negative remarks about another person´s character that result in or are a cause of conflict or resentment are also subject to deletion by moderators or admins. If someone posts an insulting comment towards you, do not reply to it, it will only start a flame-war, instead send a private message to one of the forum moderators and they will take care of it.
Avoid personal correspondence in the forum, use private messages for that purpose. If you receive any unwanted private messages, mark them as ´spam´ and/or add the sender to your ´ignore list´, if you receive stalking or threatening private messages contact one of the admins, and the offending person may be deleted from the site.
Admins and moderators have the right to delete posts if these posts contain abusive, vulgar, insulting language, are particularly offensive or if posts contain personal attacks (or negative statements about another person´s character if it results in a conflict between members).
Admins and moderators can lock threads, if the situation requires that, and must give an explanation for doing so. Thread deletion is reserved only for very extreme circumstances.
