What would you change about the new SFN?
SFN does have a daily digest email, which I think is a summary of the day’s activities (though I believe only the things that you have participated in). We used to have a more comprehensive one a few upgrades ago, which I guess got eaten up at some point.

What would you change about the new SFN?
We've had discussions about this before. I'm of the opinion that members having that information could lead to issues, particularly with those prone to taking things personally. If you feel like someone is using the rep system to target you, please let staff know and we will investigate. As for your particular situation, I don't really see too much of a case for an abuse of the system at the moment. You received a couple of -'ve rep points today, which I reversed, and a few the other day that another member countered. Otherwise, it's been fairly sporadic.

This has been upgraded to a ban. _______________________________________ Also banned is waitforufo. Phi for All had a much better farewell message than I could come up with, so I will leave that here. There’s only so much of the bald face lying we are prepared tolerate for the sake of not being accused of censorship. We are well passed that point now, and so staff decided it was time for a permanent ban. _______________________________________ forex has now been banned as well, for constantly reopening closed topics.

Is it ethical to view men and women as different?
! Moderator Note As I said to Raider, if you are seeing this, then please report it. Staff have very limited time to review everything that gets posted. Hate speech and slurs are not okay and will not be tolerated, regardless of the target. I personally do not read many threads these days, and I generally avoid political or religious threads. I do read all reports, however (as do all staff). If things are being posted there against the rules, I am almost definitely missing them unless they get reported. If you wish to continue this discussion, feel free to PM me.

Is it ethical to view men and women as different?
! Moderator Note A few things. Firstly, your use of language - specifically your use of the word retarded - needs to change. Secondly, the rules of this forum specifically prohibit members from slurring an entire group of people as you have done. If you can't contribute anything intelligent (or additive at the very least) to the discussion, I would ask that you don't bother contributing.

Increased spam - working on solution
Another PSA. We are aware that there is a lot of spam hitting the forum, often around this time. Unless the spam has been around for a day or more, please do not report it. Chances are we will see it before we see your report anyway. As stated above, clearing away multiple reports is about as much of a hassle as removing the spam accounts.

The Official "Introduce Yourself" Thread
! Moderator Note We usually merge "hello" type threads into this one without really saying anything about it, so it's possible you just missed that when I happened.
