There was also this, from the old board:
Not another MS message board?
?
And why not?
This one has only one moderator/administrator (agate), and there will be very little moderating here.
No locked threads unless the author of the thread requests that it be locked. No banning. No deletions without authors' permission.
No forbidden topics, no forbidden language. It would be nice if everybody could be civil, but this is the real world.
People with MS have enough problems without the added stress of belonging to a board where they feel their every word is being inspected by a moderator ready to pounce.
I don't much care how your posts look or sound. I'd just like my friends here to enjoy their stay and talk about what's on their mind, without fear of reprisals, punitive measures or censorship.
This board is for you, not me.
