Blog Policies


The Administrator of The Dark Wraith Forums is committed to the free and open exchange of thoughts, opinions, and ideas. The best way to encourage such a high level of exchange is by assuring the blog's participants that they may speak their peace as they see fit in an environment that is free of intimidation, commercial distractions, and intrusive administration.

Blog Decorum
Free and open exchange may be inhibited if participants are subject to intimidation or threats. The best way to discourage the debasement of exchange is by presenting the blog's participants with a level of decorum, intellectualism, and collegiality that sets a tone and manner of discourse unsuited to incivility. It is, then, primarily the responsibility of the Administrator to demonstrate by his own words, here, the proper decorum: only then can he anticipate reciprocity from the participants.

A post will be deleted under the following circumstances:

The Administrator may act upon his own initiative to delete a post, or he may act at his discretion upon the request of a visitor to The Dark Wraith Forums. Repeated violations will result in a commenter being permanently blocked from posting. If the violation rises to the level of unlawful activity as set forth in relevant federal laws and/or state statutes, the offending party will be the subject of a complaint filed with appropriate law enforcement authorities; if the violation is deemed by the Administrator of The Dark Wraith Forums to constitute a civil wrong, the matter will be turned over to legal counsel for dispensation, which might include legal action being taken.
