Is this your dragon, if so why are you using Ed Clark's photograph? If not, did you get Ed Clark's permission to use his photograph? Just wondering...

Are you the picture police? No he is not my dragon, but I was thinking about buying him. I dont need his permission to use his pic if he post it on the internet to sell the dragon.

Companies do this all the time.. And that fact that your calling me a fool is BS and I will be sure not to purchase another dragon from you again..
As we regularly seem to encounter people being rude to others in varying degrees and ways, this policy is being defined to make it clear that this will not be tolerated. Rude behavior will now be handled by temporary banning users from logging into the site (you can still read public areas). Repeat offenses or more severe offenses will result in increased period of ban time. Attempts to circumvent bans (ie. registering with another account) will result in a permanent ban on you IP address/subnet. Public rudeness and attitude to moderators attempting to enforce site policies, or ignoring their warnings in threads will also be met with a temporary ban and treated more severely.

Members are not to publicly point out others as being rude. Ever since this policy was defined I'm seeing a number of members using that accusation as a tool of "control", effectively using it as a threat, or a manipulation. If someone is being rude, report it. I believe I've already said that members should not attempt to moderate other members, and that includes deciding what does and does not fall under this policy.
