Spoiler: Support Area Reminder

All four sections in the Support Area are intended for SERIOUS support and advice etc discussions. Joking comments are not welcomed there, especially when they are directed towards other posters or posts.

Such comments tend to take the threads away from the original discussion, which obviously does not help the original poster. Indeed the original poster may well be offended that people are joking about something that is a serious issue to them.

There is plenty of opportunity for joking and general fun in the sections in General Chat, especially in Fun and Games.

Please respect the distinction between the Support Area and the General Chat area.
