Sophia you are wonderful I am sure but why do we need these time out posts ? Why can't the individual problems or discussions be done privately. If someone is flaming then why can't there be a system to quietly contact them and edit out the personal flames as needed through the current open reporting process.

I am a bit upset over these type of threads. They add to the general illusion that people need to be scolded publicly. They may need to be investigated publicly but public scolding in a generalized thread like this does not seem appropriate.

Is this part of the new system now ? Frankly I just do not know what the new system is.

I don't know about public scolding, but the new system does call for visibility. I, for one, am glad of it.

This is not about one specific person or one report. The flaming issue is a widespread problem that I believe needs to be addressed in a general way. We need our members to help us. The mods can't do everything, especially since we have limited help here currently. Rather than being seen as a kind of police officer, I would rather encourage everyone to take responsibility for the peace of the forum. What we as staff have been counseled to do is to encourage our members to work out their problems in threads rather than reporting everything. Under the new system, we all need to work together. The old way of doing things is gone.

What is wrong with police officers ?

I am kind of partial to them. LOL

I would think that pm's are the least legalistic and least antagonizing way of doing these things. They are quiet and less grandstanding.

As far as things being gone you are right they are gone but nothing is forever except God.

Be well always...

Sophia if we could carry on a civilizedconversation with people we wouldn't be talking online.

Serously I appreciatee what your trying to do here and how diffcult the new rules are. That was the whole point of my polling thread that we need act like adults and stop the insanity to bad it's not working.
