Thank you for one of the more coherent messages on this thread. |
Thanks for thinking so!

Where are those specifications? All I've found is a bunch of legalese under "board rules", which to me does not explain what it is to behave socially
online... perhaps there are folks who really do not know. (?) |
Forgive me, I went from memory in my original post! 4. (In part) "You agree not to post or transmit any unlawful, harmful, threatening,
spate abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, profane, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind,
including, but not limited to, any material which encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, violate the rights of others, or
otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law." Then, too, there is "Please use common
sense" which is a much less defined request.

And count me among those types! But I would be willing to curtail my mouth (fingers) if this place had some clear and simple rules and a zero
acceptance policy for violators. To me, there are just a couple:
1) Attack the message, not the messenger. NO personal attacks. Period.
2) Never post anything that you wouldn't be willing to say face to face to the affected parties, in a physical meeting of the group.

It seems that the anonimity factor of the poster emboldens that person. |
Lencho, you were #1 at the top of my mental list when I make the anti-censorship statement! I can't think of a single instance of a post you've made that I felt was offensive or even borderlined stepping over the above Board
Rules!! I agree that your rules would be less subject to mis-intrepretation.

I agree. It's really hard to know, but I think Doug has been exceedingly, perhaps overly, tolerant of aggressive behavior here. The
acceptance of pretty much "anything goes" in the off-topic sewer grants tacit approval of behavior patterns that in my opinion, should not be
tolerated anywhere on the board and it is a bit hard to maintain coherent civility across the site with that there. |
Personally, I don't care about off topic, I don't go there. I looked to see what all the references were about & immediately decided that's not
an area I want to go or post! That one time was enough to tell me it's not a positive asset to the board...IMHO. I'm in total agreement with you
that Doug's much more forgiving of repeat offenders that I would be. I'm more in favor of a 2-strikes, 1-warning & permanent banishment on the
second offense! Possibly 3-strikes, yer out! Historically, banishments of 7-30 days haven't been all that successful...IMHO.

That's a difficult and often thankless job which need could be reduced a lot if folks were convinced they have to be civil here or they can't play any
more. The way we're set up, it takes a major rampage to get time out... |
I totally agree, but Hose A did it for around 2 years. It does take a fair person with a lot of time on their hands! After seeing the direction the
tone of the board has been going, do you sincerely feel self-policing is be successful? I agree that there needs to be stronger & permanent
enforcement...although it's clear that being banned isn't necessarily all that effective from the recent spate of obvious multiple identities set up
by the user-name of the hour individual(s).
Hopefully, Doug might sift through this thread & take away some viable potential solutions. |

Your right Diver, but I find myself reading less BN posts. I agree with Los Frailles. More posting on why so many love Baja.

just in case anyone cares, my opinion is that there should be no further censorship of posts beyond the board rules. if one doesn't like a particular
post, poster or topic one doesn't have to read it/them and if something offends well grow a thicker skin or use the report button. i read when i can
but haven't been posting much because we've been slammed busy. using my real identity would steer me away from posting and reading the fourm for my
own personal reasons that i don't care to discuss. just my 2 cents.

This is about as stupid as complaining about TV content.
DO NOT READ THESE THREADS IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY POSTS THAT YOU FIND NEGATIVE.
Lets also refrain from calling every new poster a troll. Most of the long term members here are respectful but there are the regular old crew who seem
to think they run this board and tell everyone just that.
I can not stand some of the posts on this board but I have figured out that if I ignore these threads, I am not offended. Imagine that.
Read the board rules and post anything you want based on these same rules. If you want censureship, join a board that only allows what you consider to
be important and leave us here to continue posting as we want.
Now lets have a group hug and post some dog pics.
I want the truth. Do not give me B$
