"Attention: Due to continued complaints by members of the forum regarding uninvited pm requests for snails which have not been advertised for sale; the moderating team of pet snails have decided it will be necessary to enforce the use of considerate forum etiquette by punishing the breach of this simple rule.
Anyone who contacts a member via pm requesting snails which HAVE NOT BEEN ADVERTISED FOR SALE will be issued with a warning.
A further breach of this basic rule of etiquette will result in a week ban.
If you continue to breach this rule after the ban, further punishment will be discussed by the moderating team.
To make this PERFECTLY CLEAR:
If you pm a forum member asking them to sell you snails which HAVE NOT BEEN ADVERTISED.
You will recieve:
1) A warning.
If you continue to abuse the pm system, and contact a forum member asking them to sell you snails which HAVE NOT BEEN ADVERTISED.
You will recieve:
2) A week long ban.
If you continue to abuse the pm system by contacting a forum member asking them to sell you snails which HAVE NOT BEEN ADVERTISED.
We will have to take the following action:
3) Moderation team to discuss further punishment.
It needs to be made clear the moderating team do not take this sort of infringement lightly. No one likes to be hassled for posting images of their snails. We wish to keep pet snails a friendly place where members can share information, photos and their experiences without being bombarded by "GIVE ME GIVE ME" in pm.
Help to keep the forum a friendly place by following the forum rules. They’re there for a reason."
