If this was a "pay to play" forum, things would be different.
That would cut down on most of the foolishness.
But then, the certain anonymity some enjoy.... might be compromised.

Sounds like you are all about pay to play! You ever take a street walker for a ride in the locals vehicle ?If this was a "pay to play" forum, things would be different.

"Pay to play" would certainly make me think twice before hitting "post reply".
I think new members should have their first 25 posts moderated and should have at least 100 posts before being able to start a thread.

Sometimes, you need to establish boundaries.
Been there.. Done that.

Yep.
A free site (that is loosely moderated)....
Should not be taken for granted.
Without financial contributions, it might cease to exist.

The current state the IBT is in is all about pay to play. Big brown paid a lot for that crap of a contract
@cheryl, I belong to a golf forum that established a Politics and Religion section to get the overly spirited conversations off the main pages. Permission must be requested to gain access, and it is basically a free-for-all.
I don't know if your forum platform would allow it, but it might be something to look into.

We tried that---as I recall, it was Brown Cafe After Dark, or something to that effect. It was supposed to be an adult version of Romper Room. It failed miserably.

The proof is imposing the unwanted contract on thousands who didn't want it! Verifiable proof right there mr big union guy! Who calls themselves big Union guy?

What about the hundreds of thousands who were ready for the whole mess to be done with?
Self important, "know-it-all", out of touch union officials who feel the need to talk down to the rank and file.

voluntary contributions would be an excellent idea.
I belong to another free site where members can be a bronze for 10 bucks, silver for 25 , and be a gold member contributor for 50 bucks. this could be a one time thing.
the status ( bronze, silver, gold ) could be placed under the username. I know I have benefited greatly by the Brown café ( financially and otherwise ) and would consider it an honor to show my appreciation to Cheryl.

We know how voting on a contract is "supposed to be done" and had been Done for years! Why would this contract be any different? How bout asking the national why they were not negotiating for us? This was a done deal early on and there was no bargaining at the table! The national is making a ton on the healthcare $. They got what they wanted and screwed the workers. Ups also got a very company friendly contract. All parties won except the workers!
