There must be a happy medium out there. I don’t think total censorship is the answer but when a thread goes sideways because of a few that dislike each other the thread should get pulled. Some one asks a question and there may be an argument about the solution and that is great. But when it goes from a topic dissagreement to name calling and bringing in the past it should be stopped. That is why people don’t post things here. I have stopped half way through writing a new thread because of it.

please explain how the removal of an entire thread and penalizing all on topic worthy contributions eradicates negativity?

this would just create more opportunity for those with control or lack thereof issues

who would you suggest appointing this power to execute the entire thread removal?

it’s been done before and an esteemed MOY had made valuable spot on contributions to the topic only to have the entire thread removed

i recall him to say, “it’s like using a sledge hammer to kill an ant” or similar

how or who you knock boots with, what faith you believe or don’t believe in and which party you support has nothing to do with inspections

there are plenty of other forums and mbs for those that choose to discuss, debate and argue their differing views on the above topics

this could be the outcome of many threads one or a group of individuals would have reign over

Why can we only get 30 Members on the Message Board out of how many Thousands again?

And how do we get to have more than 11 Members vote oon a Poll for Best Defect Award that you are willing to provide an Award for?

I need some help here.

Maybe we are not voting on things that interest inspectors. I suggest we have all the NACHI women send in pictures of themselves in a wet t-shirt. Then let all of the NACHI members vote on their favorite. Should be the most visited thread of all times.

It’s possible to post anywhere in a thread something directly relevant to the original subject of the post even if there’s a squabble going on. Bring the thread back on track at any time. Squabblers don’t have to rule a thread. Ignore them and post what you want.
If posters do that, squabblers will have to get really out of hand to rule a thread. Take away their power by ignoring them, and don’t bother with moderation.

Thank you Kenton and everyone else.

I have to say the William and Mike show has been interesting on the Electrical section!

@mcyr

Thank you Kenton and everyone else.

So you are taking my suggestion under advisement?

[jbraun (James E. Braun, CMI)]

@nthornberry

Wow. Yes, any women present please splash yourself with some water and take a pic for the membership to vote on.

Have you lost your mind?!? It was fun to read though…

After awhile you will realize that there is not a single regular posting here that has not already lost it. :shock:

@jbraun

So you are taking my suggestion under advisement?

Not quite, but do agree it would make for an interesting Poll. ;):mrgreen:

I learn a lot from the pissing matches and could care less who attacks me. I deserved it at least once that I can remember. Its just a board. Boards don’t need moderation. If you want a moderated board, then go find one.
