Welcome Jessica, come to think of it we don't have many women on this forum. I hope you'll find us all nice, if a bit rowdy and bigoted.

This is both of an question and rant from me.

Know that I'm not the only one whom has experience this before. Mean it can be off/online.

Mean before foundin and/or comin here?

Is it me that we are treated as we are still babies/kids??? Is it me that there are owner/s, admin/s, mod/s whom have no clue on how to run forum???

Its hard even though they all know and we have talked about it. Mostly there are other factors which I can't think of at moment. Somehow I never could avoid this when lookin for new forums for myself. Hope being here is goin to stop this.

Hi Jessica, and welcome to the Politics Forum!

To start with you might like to read the extended “Welcome” message in the “Rules and Guidelines” section of the forum, which also includes a full version of the Forum Rules

Knowing what’s appropriate to say and post and what isn’t can save everyone a great deal of hassle, and as such you might also find the Guide to Good Posting useful. If you’re unfamiliar with the type of forum software we use here, a brief guide to using it can be found here. Please respect other people’s views here; they mightn’t be the same as yours but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re wrong, just different.

If you need help with anything at all, feel free to contact me, or one of the other moderators, via a personal message; details can be found here, listed as “Junior Minister”.

Perhaps you’d care to introduce yourself, which you can do here, or tell us a little bit more about yourself here.

Enjoy the debates

As far as your comments are concerned perhaps you would like to be a bit more specific; as one of the Forum Moderators I have to say that as a group we work hard to try to ensure there is balance and order here. There are times when we do upset the occasional member who feels he/she can break forum rules with impunity, but by and large I believe we have the balance about right. Perhaps you should give yourself time here to judge for yourself before making such remarks.

I'll add my greeting Jessica, as Midas got in first with the official bit http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/a...974/smiley.gif.
DCFG seems to have forgotten, or not noticed, that there are a few women regular contributers to the forum, although we are outnumbered so welcome! Hopefully you'll find we run a happy ship here mostly, but there's only one way to find out - enjoy!

I count three, that's "not many"
