The question was raised about comments made by several people (me included) about a local eatery. I have searched BoroVENT for a list of rules similar to those provided to posters on the old site. Do we have such Rules and Disclaimer here and if so, will someone please direct me to the information so that I may edit my comments or so that I may request the moderators to do so.BoroughVENT Rules and Disclaimer were prominently displayed between User List and Search. They are as follows: RULES:
This Bulletin Board/Forum is a means of discussing issues about the Borough of Gettysburg and issues of regional interest.
Because of the nature of the topics we will be discussing, there may be some heated discussion at times. Please try to remain civil.
If things get out of control, we will intervene, remove or close a post, or ban/remove a member.
Personal attacks are not welcome on this site. Libelous behavior cannot and will not be tolerated.
Profanity is allowed, within reason (sorry, but Moderators determine what "reason" is).
Sexual content and "adult" content, whether images or written,
drug & drinking references may be removed if found to be offensive
(yes, WE determine that too).
Private citizens are NOT public figures.
Elected and appointed officials ARE public figures and are held to a different standard for libelous statements.
And rightfully so. There are "quasi-public" figures, and, yes, we will determine that too.
A person's name, that is not your own, cannot be a part of your screenname.
Also unless you are associated with another member, you may not share their screenname, i.e., Venter2
Even if you don't like something you ate, or a car you bought, or the clerk that waited on you at a
particular store - that is NOT an open topic for discussion on this public Forum.
I will ask that you "self-edit" the posts so the Moderators' names won't appear as the editor of your post.
If you see our edit, then you know you've stepped over the line of acceptable behavior on this site.
Although we will monitor this site regularly, please notify us of any abuse that you are concerned about.
We reserve the right to cancel an account because of abuse or libelous activities. We require a valid email address. If we cannot contact you, you may be banned until you respond. You also face loss of membership.
If you agree to these terms, then you are welcome to join our discussions. For more information, you can contact me personally: genegolden@gettysburgsigns.com
Thanks,
Venter

We are only providing a platform to allow users to exercise their Constitutional rights.

looks like OREILLY has his answer I'm down with that - oreilly is right (I bow to you oreilly and your infinite wisdom and knowledge) and I'm wrong. Not a problem. I deleted the name of the restaurant mentioned. Moderators either weren't doing their job or didn't care. I should be banned since I said the name of the eatery. The other folks were more circumspect and did not mention the name. HOWEVER - I believe that it's important that the Rules and Disclaimer be brought over to this site by the Moderators. It certainly wasn't my job to do it. I spent a great deal of time attempting to find similar rules on this site with no success. After all, this is BoroVENT and not BoroughVENT and there should be new rules posted prominently for the new site. Then again, I'm just a townie, what do I know? |

If we have specific rules for this site I would like to see them clearly identified. If we were bringing rules from the old site we should have been notified. I never mind being told that I'm wrong but show me where it says I'm wrong and it's all good. Matt's response did not answer my question. |

So I guess that means I should change my Avatar since the picture is not an accurate representation of the "goods"?  Or, maybe just a disclaimer that the picture is not to scale, contents not included, something of that sort? ;D |

Know why he brought it up? Because you - Venter - chastised him once for dissing the same place. Big ole crybaby. |

Actually the reason, I brought it up is because Venter likes consistency, example, making the borough council be consistent in decision making, it is only fair, that he be consistent in decisions on his website. Fair and Balanced is the way to go. |
