The Question and Answer Board

[Was (Bob)]

Bob the bottom line is personal boards are not regulated because the moderator is the Chairman and regardless of how you want to change that it is the original concept of IHUB.

Then let me go on the record saying that I disagree with what you express as the original concept and if it's etched in stone and cannot be changed, take up a collection, buy the remainder of my contract from me, and feel free to shred it. I'll even pay the postage.

1. It is a paid site to join and that is not good.

You'd be surprised just how "good" that is. Very surprised. On many levels.

2. However you can start a moderated thread and with that you get a ban feature to shut up who ever you want for
whatever the reason you want.

Which is why I have a problem with it, but my hands were tied. But at least posts can't be deleted for the same reasons, which is good.

2. SI waited too long to make this feature to try and stop the exodus.

Near as I could tell, the only impact it had on the "exodus" was speeding it up.

3. You are no longer there, no offense but you were fired

Correction: I was laid off. Along with 250 other people and you can only speculate on the reasons why. I happen to know why, and it had nothing to do with job performance, philosophies, etc.

But the reason the old guard is so alarmed

How many in this "old guard" are alarmed? I'm seeing a lot of alarmed-looking posts, but can count the number of "alarmed" posters on one finger.

But the reason the old guard is so alarmed is because something is not right here with all this new rules to moderated personal boards.

Can you show me the "old rules" in writing? There're a lot of gaps in coverage in the rules and that needs to be addressed, too.

Things like the ones whose revelation to me result in a reply of "Personal what???"

You want to dictate what people will post, how they post and exactly what they will and can do and to insire control
eliminate the very thing you hate most, moderated personal threads.

Nope.

I don't think the rules should be so much about what you can post, but what you cannot. There's a lot more you *can* post than you *cannot*.

The rest of your sentence isn't comprensible to me, though, so I'm reluctant to agree or disagree with it.

Plus I believe SI made the moderated as a copying cat of IHUB.

Ummmmm..... LOL!!!!!!
