First of all, Rick, no one got banned, just unsubscribed. It was easy enough for the offender to rejoin, wasn't it? Yes. “Banned” was the wrong word. Second of all, as the post I was replying to and my reply to it pointed out, no one would be able to call ANYONE, moderator or not, an insult like that in any other forum without getting the boot and getting it permanently. I fully understand your desire to allow anything goes, Rick, after your exposure to the TMO's censorship, but it's not just FFL's greatest asset, it's also it's greatest weakness. This is FFL, not “any other forum.” But as you see, we’re going to try a no flaming policy and see if we can make it work. It has resulted in a dumbing down of the content, to where I miss out on posts by LB and Cliff, which I very much liked to read, Me too. I agree with this point. If a few drunks start sounding off at party, intelligent conversation is drowned out, or moves elsewhere. Some of those people left because they found the atmosphere distasteful. while not even receiving the majority of messages anymore because of the necessity of having a dozen or so members on permanent block to avoid their inane drivel, and I longer get requests to approve members in my email box because I changed settings to avoid getting scores of requests to approve shemp's posts after he kept sending them even after you put him on moderation for going over the limit. Now if somebody goes over, I just cut their posting privileges rather than moderate them. These days, half the posts are about the behavioral problems on FFL. --- Rick Archer <HYPERLINK "mailto:rick%40searchsummit.com"[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: HYPERLINK "mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com"FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:HYPERLINK "mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com"[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of gullible fool > Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2007 12:11 PM > To: HYPERLINK "mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com"FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Enforcement of > Guidelines > > > > > What you report about EtherBun is true of any forum > I > have joined or lurked.
