Announcement There have been in the last week or so 3 regrettable unrelated incidents in which our instructors have been the target of disrespectful activities. Whilst I wont go into details, suffice it to say that Kris, Tony & I are saddened by this. Our instructors are what breathes life into the site. Without the hard work of every one of them GMC would be a lot less than it is today, and they occupy a position of honor within GMC, for their achievements and willingness to help us all. Kris works hard to keep the new instructors coming in and working with them to ensure they make a good start with the high quality lessons that are a hallmark of GMC. Occasionally we lose instructors as they reluctantly decide to move on, so Kris can never stop his search for new instructors. Given the above, it should be no surprise that we are particularly upset about the disrespect that has been shown to our instructors in the cases mentioned above. If this were to continue, and an instructor were to leave because of something a member said or did, the whole of GMC would suffer. For this reason, please observe the following guidelines, and don't force us to take action in this area.

I dont mind sucking up once in a while All kidding aside, I have been working alot so I missed what ever caused this. It is really a shame that it will come down to having being policed because a few people dont understand the concept of dont bite the hand that feeds you and/or treating others as you'd like to be treated whether you agree or agree to disagree:( After all, it is kinda like a 2nd family here now This policy isn't something hard to follow I believe . Just do it as you used to do and you'll be fine,like whole community as well. All this is caused by few harder replies in my sub-board between two members, it's ok now tho and I'm sure this policy is fine guide, not just here at GMC but for general good behavior as well. -------------------- Youtube

All this is caused by few harder replies in my sub-board between two members, And there were a couple of other incidents as well Muris - we wanted to get ahead of it before it became a trend. But just as you say - treat everyone with respect, instructor or not, think before you post and there will be no problem. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I read a few of the posts in question and was gutted, I`m glad it was stamped on so swiftly before it tainted my own personal experience of GMC. Same as you Smells, the ones in question left me feeling quite hurt. I don't enjoy having to edit or take action against a member but sadly at times it's necessary in order to maintain the community that we've come to enjoy. Being super nice is a good way of putting it btw - being nice to some one face to face is great - when we can't see each other we're more likely to misunderstand what the other person means or feels and so super nice is a good way to go .

That's sad to hear that we had problems but I think that it's ok to have a well explained policy.
I have to say that I have found lots of good friends here and I had never any problem here. I'm glad of the positive energy that everybody has in this site. So I'm very surprised of knowing that we had some problems. gabriel.- -------------------- My lessons
