Personal attacks are as follows:
"You are a liar, jerk, moron, idiot, loser, hell bound sinner, et al."
It's one thing to say, "I believe, or it's my opinion that you are wrong on this issue, or - I do not agree with you, and think you are wrong, or - I think your opinion is incorrect, etc".
Any thread that speculates on gossip or rumors is in poor taste, but not necessarily a personal attack. Those are left up to the judgment of the other members and admins.
Here's an example:
BREAKING NEWS - JP is banning people. Not necessarily an attack against a "person", and is generally resolved by other members who are connected with the forum.
Here's one that would be deleted immediately:
BREAKING NEWS: Bro. Soandso is a CHILD MOLESTER
Unless there was a news story that was public domain that could be referenced in the post, its a safe bet that this one would be removed immediately.
Does this help?
Maybe some of the other, more experienced, admins can elaborate more.
