dear bloggers,

we are now gradually getting our heads above water fixing bugs and improving the writing experience.

next step will be an open discussion on blogging, good behaviour and moderation of bad postings. i am inviting you for your feedback on this issue, after seeing an increase in (or continuation of) harassment, bad language and attempts to post obscene contents.

the basic rules of the blog should be:

1) don't harass, defame, abuse, or threaten other members.

2) don’t post content that is obscene or otherwise objectionable.

3) don't talk nonsense

4) don't spam or post commercial messages

5) don't use copyrighted material without permission

i would like to add that this community has not treated female writers very well, and many good female writers have given up on this place.

i will follow up with more details on how we hope to see this place, but hope to get a fruitful discussion on where the line shall be drawn, what should be the criteria for taking action and what actions we should take against abusers.
