<p>A quick housekeeping note…</p>
<p>We determined that several posts that purported to have been written by Tisch students (a couple of different threads) were not posted by Tisch students, but in fact by non-student posters who had their posting privileges revoked a few weeks ago. We do not allow members to misrepresent themselves, pose as others, register with mulitiple identities, or re-register after losing membership privileges. </p>
<p>As a result, we have removed those posts as well as responses to those posts which are no longer in context.</p>
<p>We moderate as minimally and fairly as possible while following our Terms of Service in an effort to protect the integrity of the forum and to provide a useful, courteous, and safe environment. Most of our members abide by the rules and we rarely have to moderate. Usually when we do, we do it quietly behind the scenes with those involved.</p>
<p>Sorry for the inconvenience, and apologies to those who were duped by seemingly honest posts by “students”. We can’t catch every instance of false posting here - the only members who we verify by offline means are our College Rep members. If you have concerns about the authenticity of a post, let us know via the “report” function. As in any online discussion, take what you hear with a grain of salt, particularly when it comes from members without an established posting history that will help you gauge their credibility. Thanks for understanding.</p>
<p>P.S. Since we don’t discuss moderation in the forum, I’m closing this thread. Please feel free to contact me or a moderator by PM if you have any concerns.</p>
