General Chat
It has come to my attention that there are a minority who have read the title of the IceInSpace General Chat Forum and have taken “Talk about anything and everything in here” to new heights of inane banter. The General Chat Forum is certainly not a place for posting thread after thread, just for the sake of posting something. It is for general chat and as most people browsing an astronomy forum would like to see, preferably astronomy chat.
The IceInSpace forums are moderated for the good of all browsing the site. To that end, IceInSpace does not give members the right to freedom of speech and never has. Not withstanding the last 24 hours and contrary to the belief of some, moderators very rarely remove or edit member posts. The forums are moderated to the forum guidelines.
Moderators may, from time-to-time, ‘moderate’. This is their job. To abuse our moderators while doing their job will almost certainly guarantee revocation of membership. They are not dictators and certainly not members of the Nazi party. If any member feels they cannot post without being personally abusive, incapable of following the forum guidelines or ignoring moderator requests, they might feel more comfortable elsewhere.
IceInSpace was created for astronomers by astronomers. It is, in fact, a community of astronomers with varying backgrounds, ages, and viewpoints. The forum guidelines and moderators are there so that everyone can enjoy talking about astronomy in this community of ours.
