Doug, if I could make a suggestion--I'm not sure everyone here understands what the term "moderation" actually refers to since it's never really been in effect here. Some seem to think it means nothing less than expulsion from the group. I'm not clear myself about how you plan to handle things.
I think when you say "pushing the 'moderate' button over your membership status" you mean change the member's settings so that his posts are sent to you for approval (or not) before they're posted to the Web site, so that you can cancel any that you feel transgress the guidelines. Is that correct? Would it also be correct to say that expulsion is a last resort if none of the milder measures available to you (e.g., canceling posts, warnings) have the desired effect? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : MJ, FFL being categorized with Yahoo-groups as a spiritual group one would hope that people could come in here and express their own spiritual experience without the harassing suppression of threats being made against them. You seem to have some parochial way in threatening people here by 'slap'. Would pushing the 'moderate' button over your membership status here better provide safe space for spiritual people to come forward on FFL with their experiences? For instance I should think it valuable to also have Robert Schneider or someone from his office come on here and express their feelings in conversation here, without threat of abuse. Threat exampled within FFL post #416341 as what evidently was a slurring rant and an invasion of someone's privacy, using FFL as a vehicle.
