The Question and Answer Board

[ucansee]

Bob: Do we really have to ask and answer "why"? Isn't it enough that we want to be free of the harassment? And that's what it is, really. They come on the board and say something. We refute it or say 'thanks anyway'. But they don't stop. They spam, use multiple aliases and otherwise impose themselves on us.

Most of these people have but one purpose and that is to be a pain the neck. Personally, I don't want to know why. I just want them gone. In "real life", I could get a restraining order.

We've heard But Anyway's arguments over and over. GoSilver deletes the posts now. Matt reinstates them. Next thing the board becomes full of his posts and little more.

Yes, I know - the "ignore" feature. What about someone who is not a member who comes to read the board for information? EDIG is your third most popular message board. On RB, there are over a million posts. Clearly, there is a following.

I suppose we can debate the issue forever. It's up to IHUB at this point to choose what's more important - the number of posts, or the quality of the posts. I know it's not easy, but I also know that the shareholders of e.Digital will not frequent a board that even remotely resembles RB.
