    Announcement re: Accusations of supporting grooming / pedophilia

    ANNOUNCEMENT RE: ACCUSATIONS OF SUPPORTING GROOMING / PEDOPHILIA:

    Calling other members "groomers" or accusing someone as supporting grooming, groomers or pedophiles is a serious accusation, an insult and a personal attack that has been carelessly and excessively used on the forum. This has to stop. Claiming generally that someone that supports placing certain books in a child's section of a school or library or may support drag shows supports grooming may be something that could naturally and inherently come up on a political discussion forum. However, this places the moderation staff in a tough position of deciding where to draw the line between general discussion and personal insult. The moderation staff will err on the side of viewing it as a personal insult and take the appropriate action.

    This is a warning to members to stop abusing the accusation so as to direct it at individuals or the moderation team will be forced to treat all such comments as a personal attack/insult and take action. This would have to apply to every use of the accusation regardless of context in order to ensure fairness.
