Attention all members:

In the last few days, we have received quite a few messages from users complaining about the behavior of some members on the Gifted Issues Discussion Forum. The complaints include descriptions of bullying, trolling, insults and off-topic posts, and unfortunately, I agree that a few members are behaving inappropriately. I am posting this as a reminder to ALL members to please refer to the Guidelines here and to keep them in mind whenever you are posting on this board. Please consider this a warning and, if additional valid complaints are received, members will be individually warned, suspended and possibly banned.

It appears that at least some of the problems stem from users who have a history of disagreement with each other. If this applies to you, please DO NOT interact with that user on this forum at all. Please stay on-topic and refrain from sarcasm and/or belittling comments at all times. This forum is an important resource for so many people, and it is sad that a small number of users are making it difficult for the vast majority of users to use it as intended. Disagreement and discussion are welcome, as long as it is respectful and appropriate at all times. Again, disagreeing with someone else�s views is not an excuse to attack or make snarky comments.

Thank you in advance for your attention and adhering to the rules. We appreciate your participation in the Gifted Issues Discussion Forum.
