I have noticed lately tensions rising between certain opinionated members here, and I don't want it to go any further. We here at CX want you all to be able to freely express your opinions without anybody getting offended. For this to work, I have to lay down some ground rules, so listen up.

1. If you are strongly opinionated about a topic you feel strongly about, feel free to post it. HOWEVER, please make sure that your opinion cannot offend another member in any way. That would be considered more of a flame.

2. If you see something in a thread (for example a showoff thread) that you have a strong opinion of, please don't turn that thread into a debate thread. Simply go to the Offtopic forum and start a topic thread there. No need for ruining threads because of opinions. It has happened more than a few times already and needs to stop.

3. When arguing someone that you know is VERY opinionated, do not argue so that your goal is to try to manipulate the other member. They will not give in and it will lead to repeating yourself and pointless posts. Once you get your point across, do not repeat it over and over again, trying to make your arguing opponent give in to you. It won't work and will only cause trouble.


Again, I encourage you guys to have friendly debates, especially you opinionated types. However, I want you guys to keep those 3 ground rules in mind. They should help reduce tension and make arguments more like friendly debates, and CX will therefore be a better place

Krazy,
