Hello everyone and welcome to “BurlCoFire.” This forums site is based on the Proboards architecture which will allow a high level of moderating to ensure a fair and professional experience.
This site was created based upon the popularity of the Burlington County section of “TheWatchDesk.COM.” Unfortunately, as most TWD conversations turn, the slander comes out and feelings get hurt, which has prompted this locally moderated forum site.
Negativity is expected at times due to the many different opinions and stress levels of the infinitely dynamic business we are in. However, direct slander and name calling will not be tolerated by any shape or form.
It is hoped that everyone views this site as another tool in the arsenal to assist in providing well informed professionals in the emergency services.
Please take the time to review the rules of this forum:
1. There will be no direct attacks on any person for any reason. You may voice disagreement, but it needs to be backed up by what you believe to be factual information to make your statement. At no time will slanderous comments be directed at any one person with the intent to embarrass or create hurtful feelings.
2. Profanity will be kept to a minimum. It is understood that sometimes feelings get vented through fingers, but diligence must be taken as to not offend anyone as this site is going to be maintained wide open for public viewing.
3. Sexism and/or racism WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
4. If any transcripts, news postings, or photos are posted on the forums, it is required that the source of the information be posted as well; preferably in URL form, if applicable.
This site will be moderated based on the 3 strikes theory. The rules are simple and are posted for everyone to follow.
1st Strike: Warning
2nd Strike: Profile suspended for 15 days and flagged for 60 days following suspension
3rd Strike: Indefinite suspension of profile
Complaint Process:
If for any reason a complaint is to be made, please make your complaint in the form of a Private Message (PM) to “WebBoss”. This message of complaint must include how the user in question violated any of the abovementioned rules. If the complaint seems to be valid, then proper action will be taken in accordance to the 3 strike policy.
