CF: Can you come up with a better solution ? It is always more constructive
to provide a better solution.

I would suggest the following to our Administrator.
When you find an inappropriate topic, instead of putting up your standard
boilerplate, that you instead move the post to freevpfree and tell all those
interested to go there, to pursue the topic ad infinitum.
I believe that this would reduce the need for warnings .

Sorry Albert, I can't. Other than removing all reins & letting us post as we
want or putting certain offenders (e.g., after 2 warnings) on permanent
moderation, there is no simple solution.
I've stayed out of the Dancer bashing because what good would a retelling of
my experience 5 years ago do now?
I have other stories (All true, based on MY experiences) about other
'celebrity' members of this group, but, again, what good will come out of more
bashing?

Why not try this as an experiment? Let our fearless leader set aside a time
period, (24hrs, 48hrs etc.) where there is no moderation or censorship. Any
subject is OK. Let us police ourselves. The only rule would be no foul language.

Hmmmm, shall we take a poll? Oh no, not another one...... :slight_smile:

Good idea CF

In addition, why not appoint a board of posters and give them delete
power. An offbeat post could be deleted. No fanfare. No big deal. No
need to ban posters from site. Just click and the post is gone. Then
poster can redo post in a different manner. There has been one board
that I have visited that does this and it seems to work. I think they
refer to the ones with power to delete as the 'postbusters'.
Delegating this power to others would give Tom some extra time. With
a few folks watching, posts that really attack others would be
deleted faster.
