Greg, why do we need a moderator? The ignore function works perfectly and anyone who doesn't like the conduct of another poster can simply ignore them. What's the problem here? Nobody can reach through my monitor and grab me by the throat. I don't run off crying when someone calls me an idiot. I'm not tramatised for life. Is anyone else here deeply hurt by the ill manners of another? I don't think so.


I suggest that this thread be moderated under these conditions, A post should be deleted if it meets one of the following conditions:

#1 A post so utterly vulgar that it would be considered obscene in most municipalities.

#2 It threatens another person with harm to his/her person or possessions.

#3 Makes a statement that is libelous to the extent that the iHub could be held responsible for leaving it on display.

#4 Is repeatedly so lost and off topic that the post in question adds no value whatsoever to this thread. Key word here is "repeatedly". An example would be the old SI AMD thread which is now just pure politics and nothing to do with AMD.

#5 Makes claims of insider information that would have a significant effect on a companies competitive position as a result of it's posting. Links to other public documents or articles excepted.


Other than that people would be free to express themselves as they see fit and as others choose to endure. That's my opinion.
