Most forums I frequent actually include in their posting rules something about not being allowed to comment on the quality of the site or how it is administered. I was temp banned from a site for doing that once.
At least one I frequent doesn’t even allow you to discuss the banning practices of OTHER sites. i.e. this thread would violate that site’s policies if it was there.
Yes, I'm trying to convey that hint, but those I'm addressing aren't picking up on it.
I remember how — on a couple of occasions — Rush cut off callers who brought up matters relating to his ratings and to suggest ways he might improve his ratings book by what amounted to manipulation of his audience.
Rush dumped them immediately; in one case, he did so while saying "sorry, I just can't talk about that."
This was when his national show was pretty new, back in the early '90s.
