The administrator of this board (Harrison) has been contacted on frequent occasions about the fact that certain members have repeatedly violated our Member Guidelines, related to contacting our members privately via email to solicit business, without invitation. These violations have led to the perceptions that that this forum is possibly condoning (or even tacitly encouraging) this sort of conduct.
We would like to assure our members that such conduct is not condoned or encouraged; anyone who feels they have been the recipients of such conduct is requested to report transgressions to the administrator for appropriate action.
We would like the entire membership to review the Member Guidelines, which are valuable in terms of maintaining peace, trust and understanding. The advisory board is currently completing its analysis of the situation (member misconduct as well as possible guideline revision) and will offer its recommendations to the administrator for consideration and implementation.
Further violations of the guidelines by the offender or anyone else will be dealt with immediately by banning them from the use of our caring ADR community. We thank all those who have brought this situation to our attention.
The guidelines are the first FAQ, found here:
