I'm sorry this announcement had to be made, but due to recent events, all members must be aware.
I know things have been more difficult in the Ev Community ever since the original Evthreads closed down, but the blatant disregard for authority of the moderators and their decisions will NOT be tolerated. We all spend our valuable free time, sometimes spending hours in one day, moderating this forum and making this a pleasant place to stay for all of you. We don't ask for much in return, all we ask that you follow our rules and honor our decisions and authority. Disregarding our warnings and continuing inappropriate behavior will earn you a ban. Just because many members are the staff are new, it does not mean that they are incompetent and that you can ignore them. When a major decision or ban is placed, it is usually a unanimous decision, so to single out one moderator and blame them for such things is silly and incorrect. If you have a problem with anything a moderator has said or done, it can be easily resolving by sending them a private PM and talking it out maturely. Obviously we are not perfect and we're willing to work with you, or go into depth about why we have made that decision! You respected your moderator staff on the original Evthreads, how are we any different?
On that same note, harassment of the moderator staff is unacceptable, as it would be for any member. Any mention of stalking, harming, or harassing a moderator will earn you an instant permanent ban. This is not okay under any circumstances, and is very well against the law, and can even get you into legal trouble if a victim were to file charges. Many of us have been bullied and harassed at some point in our lives, why would it ever be okay to do that to your moderators, or any members of this forum?
We also understand that many of you already follow these rules, and we hope that you continue to stay with us on this forum. We're real people too, with real feelings, and don't really enjoy being the bad guys. If you see any of this behavior on the forum, chatroom, or social media sites, we encourage you to report it to a moderator or admin immediately.
Thank you, - The Evthreads Reborn Team
