We just want to let everyone know up front that Sushi is a project near and dear to our hearts and that everyone from any board is welcome there with no bias at all. Here is a copy of our guidelines for everyone to see before the board even opens. Greetings Everyone! Welcome back to everyone that posted with us before, and welcome to those of you that are new here. These guidelines are probably going to be review for most you, but for the new people and to refresh everyone’s memory, here they are again. I have found the other boards including RA Sushi to be more welcoming than AI simply becaus eit is moderated and not jammed with ads and trolls. It would have been really nice if AI could have remained the way it was years ago.

[/QUOTE] Still no thanks. not with the moderator you have there. How do you expect this person to be unbias? If you know the history you'd understand why quite a few people feel the way they do. -she does not like certain people, doesnt get along with them so she asks to be deleted off of a board. -she trashed one of our dear regular posters here. -she attacks members for their spelling mistakes - read private messages at RaFriends -she writes a review of another forum and trashes it. To top it off she will be moderating a forum about ther forums. how can she not be unbias? The reason I post this is not because of hate. If you are starting out a new forum and you want a good reputation you should know the reason why others do not want to go to RASUSHI. I am a regular poster of this board and you read my posts daily and reply to them here but not under this name. I can not sit by without saying these things. First of all, I would appreciate it if everyone would stop "attacking" Joey. I appreciate his honesty. And it is an issue that we are very aware of and willing to talk about. Joey -I know who you're talking about and I have heard the stories. I'm sorry that it happened that way on the other board. Trust me, we are NOT going for that. We have already spoken to this person about the past events, and I feel that said person will control themselves. If they don't they have been warned, and we will not hesitate to remove them from the board. We really are welcoming anyone and everyone. I myself have already thought about this person moderating the Arthritis Boards forum, and I will be speaking to RASushi's other admins about it. All we ask is that you give a new forum a fighting chance. The three of us that are admins of the board very very deeply care about it, and want to see it go places, so you must believe that we will not compromise that in any way. I'm not talking about the honesty of the story, I'm talking about the honesty of his opinion. And that is all I'm really after here. What happened at RAFriends can stay at RAFriends. We're talking about Sushi, and his worries for the future. If he is concerned, then it is a legitimate concern to me, until proven otherwise. I don't think it's fair to single out anyone who has worries about a new forum. We want EVERYONE to feel welcome, and that includes Joey. As far as the adult conversation goes...well let's face it, sometimes that just doesn't happen. LoL So far, this has gone pretty well, let's try to keep it that way. Why don't we quiet this thread now, and let Joey have a shot at replying? Again, I recognize that I'm a Newbie here. I don't know the history of "friends or enemies" on this board..and don't care to. I care about what is happening right now; HOWEVER, I know the reason I came to this board and the reasons I have looked for other similar boards...probably the same as 99% of the people online right now (minus those looking for some targets to sell a new supplement/cure to).. I have a really crummy disease and feel a need to communicate with others who are going through the same thing I am, period. If we have the option of expanding our communication mode to another area...what the heck is wrong with that? Moderation isn't a bad thing... especially if it can keep an even, upbeat and positive tone, weeding out predators and "chit-birds". If there is an upfront "rules of conduct" disclaimer...no one can complain if the moderator "votes them off the island". You Go Ms. RASUSHI!! K
Talking about medical marijuana is fine with me. We actually have a cateogry on sushi that is for alternative therapies. There are a lot more people out there than we probably realize that use marijuana for medical reasons. You wouldn't get any censorship from me about it. Thank you to everyone that is recognizing what we are trying to accomplish with sushi. It will be nice to see it up and running and have people there. It is more than just posting. We are trying to create a community.
Flaming is not going to be tolerated at all. Please remember that we all come from different backgrounds, different ways of life, and we all have different opinions on everything. That is what actually makes a forum board so great. Seeing other people’s way of life and opinions. It may help us with our own issues. Anyone caught flaming will be permanently banned.
Spamming/flooding with multiple posts about the same thing over and over again or flooding a member’s PM box is going to be grounds for being permanently banned from the forum. Hang in there, someone will answer your post or the person that you sent a PM to will answer you. Please remember that some days are worse than others and people may not get to their computer the same day you post or send a PM.
Please no soliciting. Our forum is here to share helpful information regarding arthritis and everything that comes along with it. It is not here for anyone to make money off of us and what we have to deal with on a daily basis. Anyone soliciting will be banned.
We strive for our admins and our mods to be non-biased and very helpful. Politics by our admins or mods will not be tolerated. The only time that posts can and should be deleted by our mods or admins are ones that blatantly go against our few and simple guidelines for the board. Any mod that violates this will be banned from membership.
We welcome any and all opinions on the variety of subjects here at Sushi that you can post to. Please remember to always be nice! Please always keep in mind that any rudeness can cause your post to be deleted and in some cases, your membership to Sushi banned. Even if you have a disagreement with someone there is the right way and the wrong way to handle it. We also welcome people from different boards. Share the knowledge!!
Please have fun here!!!! Putting a smile on someone’s face and making them laugh could be just what they needed! Just please don’t do it at someone else’s expense

Can I talk about stuff like medical marijuana on your board? The reason
I never go to arthritischat.com anymore is because they kept editing references
to medical marijuana from my posts, and I was linking backup articles
from Science and Medicine Daily and other respected health
organisations!
