polls: Harassment happens... or does it? - 03/11/11 10:59 AM
Cyber - harassment happens... or does it?
The ActiveRain Guidelines say:
"There is zero tolerance for predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, invading privacy, or the revealing of other members' personal information. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from ActiveRain."
Rich Jacobson (an employee of ActiveRain at time) wrote the post that this Guideline is linked to "Predator vs. REALTOR®" - Community Guidelines ReVisited
Is there such a thing as cyber-bullying?  Or cyber-harassment?  Rob Hahn on his personal blog Notorious R.O.B. says there is no such thing as cyber-bullying because we are all adults.

polls: Ted Williams, Columbus Man with a Golden Voice - 01/09/11 01:24 AM
Where did YOU first hear Ted William's "golden voice" ?

polls: Shame, shame, double shame... - 07/12/10 12:29 AM
"Shame, shame,double shame... "
Quoting Karen Rice...
"Shame shame, double shame...I guess it wouldn't be so bad if the people you downgraded had actually gotten notice.  Is it unreasonable to want 1 post every 90 days? No it is not.  That's not unreasonable at all.  It is unreasonable to pull the rug out of established members of this community without due notice.
I'm completely ashamed of you, ActiveRain.  Without members like Jay and Marti and all the others who helped get you off the ground, you'd be NOTHING.  Nice way to show your gratitude."
