As we continue to grow and embrace new membership, it has not escaped our attention that some seem to be encountering a bit of a challenge in adhering to the TOS that apply to all areas.

The Unknown Zone exists as a place within which all adults can express themselves, exchange ideas, and discuss them at the whim of the membership, and the Unknown Zone Team is here to assure that the whole process remains within the confines of the TOS.

Yes, there are areas within which the expectations differ, but we feel it is important at this juncture to remind everyone that the TOS apply within all areas of the Unknown Zone.

Our goal is to provide each of our members with an experience that is enjoyable to them, and that is the reason for the various expectations in certain areas. At times there will be differing opinions on a given subject, as one would expect with a membership without boundaries, and our hope is that when these challenges arise and the corresponding emotions with them, that all members will exercise good judgment in their respective responses.

This is not to say that the UZT frowns on lively or emotional banter or discussions, in fact we encourage it. This message is meant to be a reminder to all that each of us should exercise good judgment in our replies and responses, and to try to be as accommodating as possible when engaging in an emotional exchange.

No one on the UZT wants to censor anyone or engage in restrictions of membership, and we will make every effort to provide more than reasonable opportunity for all members to correct their mistakes in judgment or decisions made in the heat of the moment. However, remember that the UZT is here and it is our call surrounding what constitutes a violation of TOS; and in those rare cases wherein we must take steps to enforce the TOS, we will do so with compassion and desecration at the forefront of our effort.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact a team member via PM, the report to moderator button, or via e-mail. 

Happy Posting!

The Unknown Zone Team

It seems an additional reminder is needed.

This board is moderated.  As such, replies to topics in this area are expected to be respectful and devoid of name calling, personal attacks and aspersions, and anything else that doesn't fall under the umbrella of our "Be Nice!" rule.   

We have had to remove several posts from this area today due to violation of these rules and tenants.  Although the topics may be controversial, we don't expect the conversation to disintegrate into mindless name calling and personal attacks that do nothing to further the conversation at hand. 

Administration will remove posts that don't abide by the rules of this moderated area at our sole discretion.  It's our call.  If you have a post removed and have questions concerning the removal, you may contact us at:

admin@dailynuisanceproductions.com 

We would also like to remind you that it is against the TOS to air grievances surrounding the forum, its management, and any administrative actions in public on any thread herein.

Please take a moment to review the terms of service as they apply to all areas here at the Zone and keep them in mind as you post.

Thank you.

In order to address some other recent incidents.

Don't complain or bring such issues or complaints out anywhere on the forums.  They are always to be addressed privately in a civil manner by PM or E-mail with members of administration 
( admin@dailynuisanceproductions.com ).  No exceptions.

Any personal complaints/issues with members posts/actions are to be addressed by using the Report to Moderator button.

Thank you,
