Adding on to what Bantu Kelani stated:

Under the new management all blocked posters have be unblocked and given a fresh start. Those that continue to ignore the rules of the board shall be blocked again.

The management reserves the right to set its own standards and welcomes suggestions how to improve the message board service. As was stated by Bantu Kelani, this board promotes Freedom of Speech, but with any rights comes responsibility. Any posts deemed to be insulting, defamatory, or abusive to either moderators or posters shall be dealt with appropriately.

While we respect others right to disagree, poor conduct that descends to the level of using the forum to continually insult the management of the same said forum will not be tolerated. This conduct is paramount to a guest staying in someone’s house, disagreeing with him (which is not the bad part) and using his house as a platform to insult the host and the other guests. I don’t want some to think that because we are friends that entitles them to continually act in a manner that disrespects me and the management of the board. I as the moderator have to uphold certain principles of decency in keeping with the aims of the message board. Those that have a serious problem with how the board is run should set up their own board and run it as they see fit.

NB: On the Rastafarispeaks Forums we wish to ban no words. Nothing should be automatically censored by any mechanism here, however the Administrators and Moderators reserve the right to delete, move or edit messages that we deem abusive, defamatory, obscene, in violation of Rastafarispeaks rule of Law.
