We're not putting an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) in place for now, but here is a gentle reminder of what is expected of posters. If the moderators are forced to put an AUP in place then there will be an increase in warnings and banning. No one wants this, including the moderators, so please take a moment before you post to think about what you are writing.

Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
In the Dog Pound you are expected to abide by the following without exception:
1. You are expected to be civil.
2. You are expected to defend your position.
3. You are expected to focus on the debate, not the poster.
4. You are expected to make a good faith effort to interact with the community.
5. You are expected to use the report button if you have concerns with a post or comment.
6. Do not troll.
7. Do not use slurs, call people names, or threaten violence.
8. Do not discuss moderation issues in public.
9. Do not bring another user’s personal details into comments.
10. Do not spam the board with a bunch of highly similar topics.

Ignore Function
Go to the top of the board and select "User CP". Under "Miscellaneous" click "Buddy/Ignore List". To ignore posts and private messages from specific users, enter their username in the Ignore List. You can separate multiple names with a comma.
