[FONT="]Hi Everyone! We have always prided ourselves in having/providing a website that was welcoming, encouraging, educational, positive and helpful. We love to see you interact with us and one another in this manner. We also realize that people will also have opinions that differ from one another and have never silenced you from being able to express that opinion as long as it was done tactfully, constructively, and with the intention of being helpful. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Lately we have noticed a few posters taking advantage of this policy and stating comments in a very rude and hurtful way. When we see this, we will delete your post immediately. Unfortunately, we are seeing this more than we care to lately on our forums and for this reason we are going to be cracking down harder than we have in the past and deleting posts that we find inappropriate, negative, rude and hurtful. [/FONT]
[FONT="]We love a friendly positive environment, one that makes people happy to come to our site to learn, share and grow from one another. If your purpose is to come on the site to be hurtful, rude, negative or to embarrass us or any one of our forum members your post will automatically be deleted. You also may be sent a warning via email as to why you were deleted. If the behavior continues we will have to ban you from our site. [/FONT]
[FONT="]I really hate to have to sound this harsh but this negative behavior sours our whole community and goes against what we stand for. While on the topic of deleting threads, we have also noticed an awful lot of forum members using our site as a way to promote other products where a profit stands to be made for the forum poster. We do not allow any form of solicitation on our siteeither overtly or covertly. [/FONT]
[FONT="]We would like to once again kindly remind everyone that we don’t allow posts from people whose end purpose is to sell or promote other companies DVDs. We want open discussion to continue to be used for “customers” who want to openly and honestly discuss other fitness DVDs or products, not to be used by other companies to promote or sell their products. Though this has been a problem for many years, lately it seems to once again have greatly expanded. If you work for another fitness company either directly or indirectly or are an internet marketer... we ask that you not post on our site about any products you sell. Customers on our site need to know that discussions about fitness DVDs and products are honest and from fellow customers, not from sellers that appear and seem to be customers. [/FONT]
[FONT="] Thank you everyone for understanding our position and working together with us as a community to continue to make CathedotCom the warm, friendly, positive environment we have always strived to provide and maintain. [/FONT]
