NB...The forgoing rules are to be read in conjunction with our posting rules located here.
We thought this would stir a lot of reaction (some negative). Bear in mind that we are simply putting in guidelines that are used by forums and other websites all over the Internet...
It allows Mediiazone.com to step more into the mainstream and be home to everyone include younger folk (whom we have not blocked), to ourprized female members and potential new ones and to the wider global community who are smitten by the Jamaican/Caribbean lifestyle...
The forum as far as we are concerned have not changed, the long list of mods were all installed overtime and remain in force (although based on interest in continuing and performance we may have to make some adjustments) and the PR Gang have and will always be a central part of MZJA.
There is absolutely no intention to run the board just to ban users. In fact, we are seriously considering an amnesty (within reason) for those users who have been blocked from the forum.
We appreciate the support of everyone and know that no one on the board would feel comfortable with Mediiazone.com being labelled as the forum that did not protect its valued members and hardworking moderators, showed no regard for schoolers, females, minority groups, etc. and did not bother to put in a few minor rules to guide how we showcased our beautiful culture to the world...
Finally, we are open to not only to the suggestions of our mods but also to those from members. In this regard, we would love to get you feedback on specific items of concern and your suggestions as to how better they could be handled...
