No Backseat Moderating
Let the moderators do the moderating. Backseat moderating is when people who are not moderators try to enforce the forum rules. If you see a person breaking the rules, take advantage of the Report button or simply ignore the offensive post(s) or thread.
Report Posts to Moderators
Should you observe a fellow Community member breaking these rules please report the post or item by clicking the Report button located on every post.
Repeated Offenders
Repeated offenders of the above rules and guidelines will be banned from the discussion boards. Any moderator has the ability to ban a user for violating the rules at their discretion.
