A note on verbal abuse and site disruptions
Blogging Network is a wonderful, growing community. As with all communities, there are always a small number of people who attempt to damage the community in different ways.
The most common violation of the Terms of Use is verbal abuse. There are many useful online resources on understanding verbal abuse and how to deal with such abusers. For some examples, please see Verbal Abuse in General, the Suite 101 Verbal/Emotional Abuse page, or the Google directory on psychological abuse.
Another issue is people whose goal is to disrupt the site in an attempt to cause problems for other members and/or for BN itself.
We are taking steps to minimize the impact of such abusers, and we would appreciate any suggestions you have.
Please feel free to email us at help@shaycom.com if you have questions or concerns.
