First I would like to thank you all for the hard work you do and especially to Jim for making this site possible.

Thoughtful of you to allow this input and I hope it proves as helpful to you as it has been for me, just from reading it.

We need to be reminded from time to time of the mission here. Maybe state it at the top of threads or somewhere else that is seen frequently.

I was on the thread that was pulled and was disappointed but understand you have a more important task here than babysitting a bunch of babblers.

People need to back off a little or get out of the kitchen, if it gets too hot. Remember, it takes two to tango or tangle.

Apparently the abuse button is used too often....I don't know. Maybe one should have only a limited number of chances to point out abuse on a thread. Or a limited number of chances each month.

If someone is always hitting the abuse button, maybe they need to be talked to.

Anyway, I see a lot of needless bickering around here.....have probably engaged it it myself at times. Hopefully this will help some see the error of their ways.

Why not come on to a thread, ping them and tell them to knock it off or the thread will be pulled. You can then see very clearly who complies after that. At least they would have a warning and a chance to clean it up.

Or you could ban the offending posters from that thread.

Just ideas to bandy about...thanks again.

Perhaps everyone could have the option to hit the abuse button once a week.

Unused ones could build up to no more than say a dozen in one's abuse button bank.

Those who had contributed money might have double that.

Perhaps those given to whining would have their abuse button bank limited to no more than 4 hits.

Those who had contributed money the most months/years would have the most abuse button chits in their 'bank.'

Those who'd never had a post pulled and never been banned and who had less than say 3-6 whines against them would have the most high ranking and highest quality abuse buttons which would signal a serious problem needing prompt attention.
