No Manners, No Comment: How To Get Banned At TTAC

 Shaikh Jalal Ahmad  wrote a very informative series on car suspensions.  Sgeffe called it "an interesting (and timely) series." Felix Hoennikker could not "wait for the next one." JuniperBug welcomed the series from  "a highly respected suspension tuner/builder." But it takes only one drunk or rude guest to ruin a whole party. We are about to lose a valuable and knowledgeable contributor, just because commenters forgot their manners.

Willmann wrote something that would have triggered a very robust response would have have said it in my face.

I would like to direct your attention to TTAC's Commenting Policy, which states:

There are two very simple guiding rules to commenting on TTAC

  1. When commenting, picture yourself being invited to a dinner party with a roomful of strangers. You probably will not attack or insult the host, or the other guests. You will get annoyed by rude and uncivilized guests. You will understand that the host will not invite people back who violate simple rules of civility. Attacking the host could mean an end of the dinner before deserts are served.
  2. You have a right to your opinion, you are immediately wrong if you are rude. Rude, uncivilized remarks mean an immediate loss of the argument. They also can mean a loss of commenting privileges.

For those who need extra amplification, it says:

"No personal attacks on other commenters or TTAC authors. Disagreement is no attack, name calling is. You may make a robust argument, but you may not insult the other person. To provide for a safe workplace for TTAC authors, there are increased standards. "

We will not tolerate the abuse of our authors. Willman has been banned for violating a simple, and clearly stated rule of TTAC.  I apologize for the rude and uncivilized behavior of a TTAC commenter.
