MORE ON FORUM CONDUCT RULES

Dear PBR Forum Members,

Please keep an eye on the announcement box on the home page. If you see link there to some new information please do click on that link and open up the page with the new information.

Just recently the PBR team published an updated rule on BANNING. You can find the link to this in the annoucements box. Please take the time to carefully read thi.

Forum members who abide by the forum conduct rules will never be troubled by being banned or suspended by a forum moderator.

If you feel that this new rule is unfair or needs to be changed in some way feel free to make a COMMENT to this blog post and we will publish it. We encourage open discussion on this site.

A ban or suspension will only happen if a member has breached a forum conduct rule and been given the required warnings and still persists in breaching the rule. That’s fair isn’t it?

To make it easier for members to participate in the forum without any fear of being suspended or banned we will soon be publishing on the site – in the ANNOUNCEMENT BOX and on this BLOG a newly written up Statement of the Forum Conduct Rules. This will remove any confusion about what they are (as not everyone has made themselves fully aware of what is already in the FAQ on the website) and hopefully this will reduce the amount of friction that can occur between members and moderators when a moderator takes action to enforce the conduct rules.

Last point – if you ever feel that you have not been treated fairly by a moderator or if you have a grievance you wish to air just go to the CONTACT US page and send us an email. We will endeavour to get back to you within 48 hours.

The Team at PBR.com.au will do its very best to be fair and to listen to what members have to say. That is why we have put up this blog – to promote discussion by members about the site and the forum and to provide their comments – and in the near future we hope to put up a special box on the home page that will invite you to provide feedback and suggestions to us whenever you wish. If it is feedback that we think all members should be aware of we will, with you permission, publish it on the blog and open up discussion on your point and see what other members have to say.

So to sign off we would like to sum this up by saying -

• This is you forum and so please look after it
• Do your best to stick to the forum rules
• Keep your eye on the announcement box
• If you see any link to a members survey in the box please click that link and help us help you by responding to the survey questions
• Give us your valuable feedback about what you would like to see happen on PBR and we will do our best to deliver it.

The Team at PBR
