Good to know. This forum seems, in contrast to a lot of other forums, is very friendly and tolerant, and tends to really disarm a lot of potential abusers. When I used to Moderate a few other forums, there was so much strife, and it seemed so heartbreaking and bred bad blood to have to do this (banning etc.)

I have to applaud Eden for developing a tolerant atmosphere as well as a forum, users and staff who contribute to the tolerance.

I know how hard it is when there is difficulty, and how much it sucks to have to "police" people (it was one of the reasons I stopped, the nearly constant need to "police" abusive users was actually effecting my health) and I think you all are doing a great job!

Thanks, P'Gell! You're right, it can be difficult. But it's rewarding to get feedback like yours and other community members, and to see the progress that's being made every step of the way.

This is truly a great community that I'm honored to be a part of.

I would really love to know if an "ignore" or "block" option has been added? What do you do if someone is harassing you and wont stop?

If someone is harassing you or inappropriately contacting you after you've asked them to stop I'd bring that immediately to a forum moderator, like Kristi so the situation can be handled.


(Kristi, or other staffies, if I'm wrong, I'm sorry and please come correct me and/or spank me with a cherry scented dong!)
