The Question and Answer Board

[AKvetch]

Thanks for the explanation. If I got this right, you are going to experiment with an S.I. type set up where a board 'owner' can arbitrarily ban someone, and then that person can set up another board to counter the first one if he so chooses.

Are you doing this in preparation for merging the two sites (S.I. and iHub), or will you keep iHub as a stock/message board community where civility should be the order of the day?

Not arguing with you. I personally prefer the iHub model over the S.I. model. I would think that if moderators were held to the same standards of civility/personal attacks/name calling and vulgarity on both stock and non-stock boards things would sort out for you. It does seem rather inconsistent that in the User Agreement you claim admin reviews all deletions, and at the same time imply you want no responsibility in this regard for non-stock boards. I imagine most people, when they signed up, didn't realize this.

Good luck. I'll look forward how you quantify the results of this test. How long is it going to run for? And when are you going to post results?
