Banapis said:The Staff has realized that some members (not all!) suspended from AQG have simply shifted inappropriate posts and gripes to the Beach (and we certainly do NOT mean that all Beach posts by suspended AQGers are inappropriate!!).
From this point forward, if a poster is suspended from AQG, and if they then move their base of operations to another EI forum in order to continue to gripe about Board affairs, or their ongoing suspension from AQG, their suspension will be changed to a boardwide suspension.
Several have suggested that an AQG ban in the first place does not make sense. Our philosophy is this: Griping is a privilege extended to members, and it is to take place in the forum for such things. The purpose of griping is to inform the Staff about the membership's suggestions and complaints about the board and its administration. Constructive criticism is welcome, but angry flames, belittling posts, or accusations of intentional impropriety directed at the Staff or other community members do not further the beneficial purpose of the forum.
Should a member make posts that result in their receiving a suspension from AQG, the privilege to gripe does not transfer to other forums. After serving their suspension, should a member care to discuss it in a civil manner, they are welcomed to return to AQG and discuss it. However, posters are not permitted to turn the Beach nor any other forum into their substitute gripe zone.
Thanks,
The Staff
