Reply #156: rules regulation and censorship

[sweetheart]

We're adults in a political forum, outside of the personal attacks rules, a free and open discussion should be however it works best, but please fewer rules is better.

THe current approach is working just fine. We don't need a playpen area. Rather i think the moderator "bong" messages are working to some degree as they are taken more seriously by those who get them.

I think perhpas that each user might get a rating like none, 5+, 10+ moderator messages, 20+, etc.. This would let the readers know, by the name's colour of the posting person, whether they are a persistent flamer. Such ratings would allow us to, similar to ebay, assess each others "credit to be civil" and to selectively use the information in how we use the forum.

Besides that, i accept however you guys see fit.

God bless you, ABB.!!!
