This is concerning posts that tell other people to lie to the USCIS or to sneak over the border.

In the past, we've edited posts and sent pms to users.

Starting immediately, we will just delete the entire post/thread with a note saying the post was against the rules.

I amended the rules to reflect this. It's everyone responsibility to read the rules when they are updated.

I read the rules again after your post here (and had even read a day or two ago as well). There doesn't seem to be any notice that the forum is not responsible for what members post. And I found one rule I might violate from time to time:

"Do not post any negative comments about organizations or people. You can vent about situations in a non specific, non naming way."

I'll now change when I post to say "That organization in the United States that might be associated with immigration has operators that answer the phone that don't know what they are talking about."...

***, maybe I also violated things by posting a reply in an Announcement forum area...

[Maybe I just said 'h-o-e', do you know?]

It's ok. I know the process is frustrating. Really what I mean is that you can't say Mrs/Mr so and so that answered the phone is a moron. Know what I mean?

Ok got it. I found it though. I just said they have no idea what they are talking about most of the time.

I saw a newbie telling someone to lie...I was like...ummm you should NOT be telling someone who EWI 2x to lie! They will find out anyway.

I agree I think that this forum might need some more protection especially after what happened the other day, even if it was just a scare..
