Not really. My point is that the current iHub definition isn't a definition at all, but an interpretation. I posted what I would define as spam (which is just my opinion), but it is objective and unambiguous.

Matt, were I to devise a Prime Directive for board moderators, it would be something akin to "Moderate in Moderation." It would apply across the spectrum. What would be yours?

BTW, "encoompass" and "potentional" are not words. Don't forget, you write the rule book you are referring to. Making it clearer and unambiguous is not an unreasonable request from your customers. JMO.

Most of these demands for "clear definitions" are childish. They are made by people incapable of judgment. They want "Daddy Matt" to tell them what they can and can't do. (How come I have to be in by 10? All my friends can stay out 'til 11.) In my opinion, they'd do better if they worried less about their "rights" and more about the rights of others.

You've already said it, Matt. "It takes common sense to deal with these issues."
