Censorship on the forum

[Tony356993]

Would you have said what you posted to the other person if you were standing face to face with him/her?

Jack - I agree. 

And the answer most certainly would have been NO for ALL of the guilty parties in the infamous thread.

If the forum is to be a fun and an adjunct to the club, why should a free for all be ok? Many folks at the track this w/e had an strong feeling about that thread and this issue. It was split about 50:50. Wouldn't that time and energy be better spent for the club in a constructive way?

 

Locking a thread, talking with a poster to revise a post, issuing a warning in the thread are all ok in my book, but deleting a post without notice or making it clear that it was deleted (by deleting the text but leaving the shell there or otherwise) is not good behavior.

Chris - I agree on the locking a thread if necessary. The moderators are doing the best they can and working extremely cheaply.  If anyone wants to volunteer for moderating duties, I'm sure Brian could use some help.
