1) Please supply a polite welcome.
2) Inform the individual that this *special circumstance* and that it has come up before,
3) Indicate what Hank had to say about it. If available, supply a link to Hank's post.
4) Politely explain why we think the individual should not be doing this.
"And in addition, if someone posts a hit message, or a FAQ question in the excitement of finding the site,
then send a *polite* message welcoming them and *informing them* how the site works is appropriate. That's it." - Hank

“The Where's George? Public Message Forums!
These forums exist for your enjoyment. Please remember these simple guidelines:
• Post your message to the appropriate forum. (The same post to multiple forums is considered abuse.)
• Please be polite to your fellow Georgers.
• Anonymous posting is not allowed. Anonymous posters risk account suspension or termination.
• Do NOT post advertisements or SPAM. They will be deleted.
• All posts are monitored. Ads posted in violation of the rules are subject to a $500 charge per advertisement.
• All Posts are logged. Any User who abuses these public forums will have their account permanently disabled without warning or question.“
I would also like to add… please do Hank, your fellow Georgers, and yourself a favor… If you cannot respond to a post politely, then do not respond at all. It is not imperative that you reply (immediately or at all) to every single post that you read. Let the post sit there. Come back in a few hours. Maybe now you are in better frame of mind to respond more informatively and nicely. Maybe, someone else has already answered in a more polite fashion. *smile*
If you have an issue with another Georger, politely and maturely discuss the situation on the forum. If that does not work, then take it off-line and politely discuss via e-mail. Other Georgers need not be subjected to the bickering. Finally, if there is no resolution, then report the situation to Hank via Contact Us form (supplying links as evidence). I have faith in the maturity of my fellow Georgers that it should not come to that. *smile*
