This is a moderated forum with rules please adhere to them or it will necessitate the deletion of your account. Anything a Moderator find to be erroneous is subject to review and deletion.

Everyone won't agree on many things, but the one thing we should agree on is that we are here so that no brother or sister veteran gets left behind, not on a jungle trail, not on a desert trail and not on a paper trail." Tbird

The biggest component of HadIt.com to help veterans is our very active discussion forum. Over 2000 registered users, with an average of about 100 posts per day. Please note that the discussion forum is made up of veterans just like you, they come to HadIt.com and its discussion forum from all over the world. Some come to ask questions, some come to help do research for other vets, some to answer questions, others come for the sense of community that HadIt.com provides and still others come just to provide an ear and shoulder to those veterans who have become weary.

There are some folks who for whatever reason sign on to discussion forums to cause disruption we discourage this by requiring a valid ISP email address when you register. However, we still have this problem the best advice is ignore them; they want a fight, a response, don't give it to them.

HadIt.com's discussion forum is "User Friendly" as long as posters do not cause division. We are not into censorship. We simply need to set forth some guidelines. These are aimed at maintaining harmony on the Web Forum. In the past we have only had a couple of incidents where someone was asked to leave the Discussion Group. When one person disrupts many then we feel it's time to take action.

No vulgar language

No offensive verbal assaults

No sexual connotations

Remember that most that come to our discussion forum have been wounded in one way or another. Be kind to each other, if angered take a day to respond. Personal attacks are not what we are about; we are about helping our brother and sister veterans.

We reserve the right to remove any posts or member at any time.

Can someone please ensure that moderators adhere to the same policies!

Gee, Have I missed something? I need to go back and read the post.

Again, let me state, " This is only my opinion"

I do not wish to start any flame war. Please?

I find Pete, John, and Carlie to be the Nicest, Kindest and Most Caring to all on this site.

Always,

i stand by the moderators and believe they do follow the guidelines and i see the back end moderators are very concerned about following the guidelines and keeping this a peaceful enviroment for sharing knowledge, all moderators struggle with making a call on a post and they all give the veteran the benefit of the doubt. you don't have to believe me i know it is true. i am the one that has been running this site for 10 years if they doesn't give me more credibility than a new user i just don't know what to tell you all.

I understand your support of the moderators but that doesn't give them the right to call people names! That's very unprofessional and rude! If a moderator disagrees with a poster, he/she could send a personal message to them or simply delete the post thus keeping with the integrity of the forum guidelines.

I know that my posted topic has some people upset but some people do suffer from legitimate MH issues which affects their cognitive abilities. I came up here for some information and I received plenty of well-informed suggestions and ideas so I do appreciate this board.

Finally, I actually work in the MH field with a degree in Human Services Counseling. I am also a veteran with 22 years of service. I have a little bit of integrity so I would suggest someone to do something illegal or unethical but I also feel that the military should apply it's ethics and stop the aggressiveness of recruiters since they will not be around for the recruits when a situation like this happens again. Thanks ken

The rules the moderators use here are not very strict. In the past there were people who came here just to disrupt the board. It got everyone up in arms and that is why we have moderators. Posts may sometimes end up in cyberspace but I think it is just a SNAFU and not intentional censorship. As long as you don't call others names or get too political in a partisan way you are fine. We all have disagreements because we have different backgrounds and experiences. Some of us are old farts who remember the bad old days at the VA. Most have gotten rough treatment by the military or VA or we would not be here posting. If we just keep it civil and don't respond to those who piss us off we can be OK. If someone pisses you off just don't respond. The topics move so quickly it will be forgotten in a day. Half the people here have MH issues from the military and the other half have MH issues from dealing with the VA. If you can climb over the VA barbwire without leaving a little chunk of flesh you are rare and fortunate. No one is 100% right about everything.

Great post! I definitely enjoy reading what people post up here and will soon be filing my own claim for compensation!

I am just trying to finish up my therapy sessions and gather all my evidence before filing my claim. I am learning quite a bit about the process and what I will need to win a claim thanks in part to a lot of good advise that I have seen on this board.

I had considered filing earlier but decided against it because the stronger the evidence submitted, the better chance I have of prevailing with the claim. Thanks again!
