I have no idea what my total post count used to be (I am sure it was noted by others though)

Re: Claims the first post...

Just seeing what my post count is...

101?? A couple of years ago it was 10 000. Weird. Must post more often.

And I removed that mean thing I said too. Sorry. No need to report me.

Re: Claims the first post...

dropyourjeans — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:37:15 GMT

Ah ha, that one didn't

Re: Claims the first post...

lurker17260 — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:39:02 GMT

Okay. If I use the full version I can quote (I think/hope) but I can't see the smilie button. Can you see the ones I used or is that just the app on my phone?

lurker17260 — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:39:51 GMT

Ah, no I can't!

Hello everyone,

We've been hearing from folks who use the boards that the expectation of "courteous and respectful posting from all participants" needs more attention. We've been troubled for some time that this essential element seems to fall by the wayside too often.

We should all be able to have a discussion without attack. Debate can be conducted without insult. Frustration can be expressed without personalization. Interpersonal issues need to be worked out privately between the people involved, not on the boards. And feuds have no place on eBay.

All of us who use the boards - members, staff, newcomers, and regulars - need to know we can come to a board - any board - and find welcome. We don't necessarily expect to always find agreement or comfort, but, as Louise used to say "there's always time for courtesy", and everyone - everyone - deserves that.

As you know, you are the first line of moderation of the forums. You use the Report Link to alert the moderation team to possible violations, so that posts can be reviewed. From time to time, trends begin in these violations, and we step up our action in accordance with your reports.

Posts that are not "courteous and respectful" will be removed when reported, and further action taken as appropriate.

This is nothing new - that expectation has been in place for many years. We had truly hoped the Community could work this part out without need for our intervention. But you've let us know the "expectation" alone is not enough for this time, and thus, we'll be backing it up with firmer enforcement. So, we'll be raising the bar and setting a higher expectation for polite behavior in reviewing the posts you report.

In addition, we'd like to remind everyone that eBay may remove any post or thread at any time, without notice. Sometimes a thread which starts out as a great discussion of differing viewpoints may fall into a battle between a few people, or may go so far off topic that the original purpose is lost. In these cases, threads which have become the focus of interpersonal disputes, or which have been taken far off topic, may be removed entirely, without warning, notice or explanation.
