Thank you for bringing your concerns to the forefront of our community. Unfortunately as there are only two of us building and maintaining the site (and we both have full time jobs), moderating the chatrooms is not an option. We can only hope that everyone will be polite and respectful although we appreciate that doesn't always happen. So what to do if you have an issue?

1. Report the user and send us a screen shot of the conversation.
2. 'ignore' the individual which means they can't contact you any longer.

As we outline in our TOS & Community Standards:

1. We welcome debate, conversation, and dissent, but personal attacks against other users or our administrators, persistent trolling, and mindless abuse will not be tolerated.

2. We understand that people often feel strongly about topics discussed on THE CAGE, but we will consider removing any content that others might find extremely offensive or threatening. Please respect other people’s views and beliefs and consider your impact on others when making your comments or sharing materials.

3. We will not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of hate-speech, or contributions that could be interpreted as such. We recognise the difference between criticising a particular practice, organisation, community or belief and attacking people on the basis of their race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.

If any individual consistently violates these or our other standards they will be permanently removed.

So again, if you see someone acting inappropriately take a screenshot and send it to us and we'll act as soon as we can.

Thank you all for your support and concern. We are grateful to have so many caring people in our community and hope that together we can make this a pleasant and supportive place for us all.
