[QUOTE="disciplinary procedure 2, post: 306082"] Well obvious attempts to post as me are only proving my case. Cheryl and/or the moderators are welcome to email me if they wish to start a dialogue. I'll leave you with this thought I read elsewhere on this forum: "I'm not sure if you are interested in my $.02 but here goes anyway. I have served as a mod and now an admin for a couple other forums and we have always ran into the same issues. It seems like the more you try to tighten your grip, the more startsystems will slip through your fingers. (old school Star Wars reference). If you use the option to automatically edit out profanity, people will find creative ways to say what they want. I'm not sure how many members BC has, but anytime you put that many people in one place there are going to be dissagreements. That is the beauty of forums. People should be allowed to disagree. Aside from threatening violence what are a couple little words going to hurt? You are going to drive yourself nuts trying to police every single post. Trust me, I've been there. Most importantly, it is your forum and you should run it how you want and if I or anyone else don't like it, we are free to not read." Eventually Brown Cafe membership will grow to where the excessive moderation will be unwieldy at best and discourse will suffer. I would suggest adding a "block user" function where individual members can filter the posters they disagree with. [/QUOTE]
