Good Afternoon to you all and thank you for your participation within the AGORACOM Community.

As I am sure you are aware, a number of posts have been deleted this afternoon, in addition to some accounts being suspended. We would first like to assure everyone that the posts that were deleted, contained no material evidence. In stead their primary objective was to either demerit a fellow poster, or infuriate a group of posters.

We appreciate your discerning opinions – in fact I personally welcome that; it will only expand the breadth of information made publicly available in this community.

However we will continue to remove any posts that either express their anger at someone in uncouth ways, or any posts with a clear intention of infuriating another poster or group of posters.

This behavior is intolerable and any future posting along these lines will lead to a warning and inevitably suspension.

With regards to a recent drop of ratings, let it be known that this is not a result of either programming error or malicious activity – while there have been some (periled) attempts to manipulate our rating system, and in turn ones rank, any member who has experienced a recent drop in their rating is as a result of how your peers view your recent contributions to the community.

My suggestion would be to rethink your tone and orientation of your future posts – perhaps being more receptive to another’s opinion or approach to recent events might earn you an extra supporter or two.

We hope that our message is clear and you can direct your attention back to Noront Resources related material evidence in stead of personal banter.

Regards,

Andreas Marouchos

Community Director
