Hello fellow members of NIF. This is your friendly administrator Yoko here to address a very serious issue. Now it does not happen often on this site, but the sad truth is that Cyberbullying does happen amongst some of our jokes and games. The most recent incidents are an opportunity for us to learn and develop a higher respect for the members of our NIF family.
First: What is Cyberbullying?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-bullying
Do we need examples? If so ask?
Second: What is NIF's official policy on Cyberbullying?
Third: How do we prevent Cyberbullying?
It helps to know what people will not accept jokes about. Therefore, I ask that each of you pm me at least one sort of joke or one topic that you would never want to see or discuss on NIF. We want everyone here to be as comfortable as possible. I will post a list of these topics, without the names that sent them. And hopefully we can all work to prevent these embarrassing incidents from happening again.
Comments? Or if you have none just PM.

"4. Be respectful and polite to the other members of the forum. Insulting another member, whether in posts, on the chat box, or in PMs, will not be tolerated and will result in a ban. Mild swearing is tolerated, as long as it is not aimed at another member, but do use your good judgment and try to keep the air clean."
