Stirring the Pot

[helicopper 1,050]

There are frequently intelligent and thoughtful discussions on this forum; sometimes they become contested and members passionately debate the issue(s). This is one of the great things about the site.

On the other hand, some members find it necessary to create screennames just for the sake of stirring the pot and don't contribute anything at all to the discussions. This artificially aggravates perceptions on all sides and about this site and don't serve any valid purpose.

If you don't know the forum rules please review them and abide by them to keep this site operating as it should be.

The forum staff is researching accounts created solely to stir the pot and offending members will be banned permanently. Likewise, it may be necessary to block specific IP addresses to prevent frequent abuses. If you suddenly find that you can't log in to EMTBravo from your firehouse, EMS agency, PD, DPW, etc. it is very possible that one of your colleagues has been abusing forum rules and spamming the forum. Don't like it? Exert a little peer pressure on those who think they can post whatever they want just to see what problems they can start.

The overwhelming majority of members here are positive, contributing members. To keep those members and encourage new members to join we're going to remove the bad apples and their posts.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! As always, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to PM or e-mail someone on the staff.
