Banning of Members
Banning of Members
We want Wildlife Gardeners to be an enjoyable experience for as many members as possible. It was a high priority goal at our inception, and it remains a high priority goal. In order to accomplish our goal it is sometimes necessary to limit, or prohibit, certain activities at our website. While the vast majority of Wildlife Gardener’s members are respectful and courteous people who use our service responsibly, we do occasionally encounter bad apples that enjoy disrupting the forums and harassing fellow forum members. We have forum guidelines and rules to address this: Forum Rules - Wildlife Gardeners - North American Wildlife Gardening But we realize that our guidelines and rules cannot be all-inclusive. That leaves us in a position where we are not able to spell out rules in legalese to cover every possible interpretation or situation. What does this mean? Situations may arise that are not covered by our guidelines and fine print. Although we would prefer to act only on situations covered in writing, site management reserves the right to act as needed to deal with members that we determine are intent on being a disruptive presence. In addition to being committed to providing an enjoyable friendly place for member discussions, we are committed to our mission statement. We’ve placed it on our home page. It’s who we are; it’s why we’re here: Wildlife Gardeners

Administrative Summary
Administrative summary
Banning is at the discretion of site management. Suspension is also at the discretion of site management. No online community is perfect. We are not going to be able to get through to every bad apple. This places us in the position of sometimes making it necessary to exercise our right to ban someone from membership at this website. When banning a member we take into consideration the nature, severity, and the number and frequency of complaints submitted by other members in addition to our own findings. Members are most likely to be banned for posts that are intended to disrupt the productive discourse, stimulating conversation, and the sharing of ideas and resources by our members.
