We would like to remind all members not to use the forums or chat area to chastise or otherwise attempt to correct the behavior of others on this site, including the chat area. Such actions generally seem to inflame the situation rather than calm it, especially given the public nature of such posts. When called out publicly, the corrected party often feels compelled to to defend his/her original statements or to pick at the correcting party. In addition, the original post may not have actually violated our RoC, and then we are forced to intervene to correct the correcter in a way that may not be easily kept private (we prefer to "commend in public but correct in private").
This is not to say we don't want folks to discuss the various sides of an issue, but if you feel someone has violated the PoA Rules of Conduct, bring it to our attention by using the "bad post" button (the red-edged triangle with the ! in the middle). This not only flags the post, but sends an alerting email to the Management Council members. We will investigate the matter to determine if action is required, and if it is, will do so privately.
If you don't wish to take it to the MC, you may choose to send the person a PM (which by our rules is to be kept private by the recipient unless the sender agrees otherwise), and try to resolve it off line. However, if you do that, keep in mind two things. First, if something blows up, we can retrieve all PM's exchanged via this site (as well as all chats) to determine if either party has violated our rules in the process. Second, in the interest of civility, we prefer that such disputes be handled dispassionately by the MC rather than personally by individuals.
Thank you for your cooperation,
PoA Management Council
