Not a joke poll.

[Gayle]

As I expressed in Charles's joke poll, I think we need return to the previously level of moderators this board has historically had for the sole purpose of put an early end to the deliberately inflamatory posts that turn into thread wars. We can all recognize the type of post that is just designed to stir up _____. I am not talking about censoring the regulars. I understand that it is censorship that made people leave roadfly and found this forum. But there is a middle ground between censorship and anarchy. We have no mechanism in place to deal with the occasional troublemaker who goes way over the line.

Examples of inflamatory posts are:

1. UMK5
2. that woman whose name I don't remember who made a string of posts claiming this guy was a lyer and thief because they were from the same city
3. cschollum
4. HDhandyman's starving children picture

Anything below this level of rudeness and ____ stirring is ok. It is the joking and sense is play that makes the board what it is. Don't want to end that.

This would be a return to the level of moderation in place a year ago when there were two moderators (Illya and Bimmerd00d) and the moderators were reading board on a regular basis and intervening in the extreme circumstances.
