I still had my Club Adventist window up when I read GAJ's post about deleting stuff, so I copied and posted it here:

But Stan, for a public forum involving a lot of people, there HAVE to be rules. Gotta be done, or things will continue to go downhill IMO. Bite the bullet, man.

Loc: 49.05° Lat- 122.3° Long Most of the problems have happened over differing positions on varies matters, women's ordination, tithe, etc etc
As I have said clearly in the past. Those who have weak positions blow up easy, or something similar.

I said one person on a given day. You assign one different moderator for each day of the week to take care of the entire forum.
Works for me, but I doubt that one person on ONE specific day is gonna work out. While you might like all the tuesdays, I will not do all Saturdays exclusively...
And I doubt you will find 7 moderators for 122 forums....

Loc: N38d14.516m, W122d37.982m No Redwood, the 'common sense' rule won't work. It is too vague and not enforceable, as well as varying with the individual. You really need specifics. As for ostracization, that is not--repeat not--a healthy basis to rely on in policing a forum. It is an awful thing, and should be avoided rather than encouraged. Not a good way to go. Stan, you need to have rules here. Cmon man, get it over with.

I think you ought to do it my way! It's just common sense. In fact, I insist that it be done my way or it's the highway....

That was banned as they become became a liability to me, and I was not going to carry that burden. The owners of two other forums are going to be served soon, and we are not going to be.

Better that than being sued for being a repeater of libel. That falls under one of the 'big three' I listed: no libel.
