Recently that has been some personal attacking and insults being posted in the forums. Such behavior is not permitted at the Global Yeshiva and in the future members will receive a personal warning from a moderator by a private message. If the warning is not heeded then the members posts will be temporarily moderated for one week. This does not mean that the member cannot post on the forums. It means that their posts will first go into a queue where a moderator will decide whether the post should be accepted or deleted. No one can see whether a member has been moderated so this punishment is not a public embarrassment. If this does not work, then the member will be temporarily suspended from posting.

For your interest Wikipedia defines ad hominem fallacy as:
An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin, literally "argument to the man") or attacking the messenger, is a logical fallacy that involves replying to an argument or assertion by attacking the person presenting the argument or assertion rather than the argument itself. read more...

Our moderators do not always have the time to read through every post, so if you see a personal attack please report the post (using the yellow triangle at the bottom right of each post) to bring it to the attention of a moderator.

Thank you for your help in keeping the Global Yeshiva a friendly community.
