Oh, I see, Bob. Good idea. It's a question of how to do the enforcement in a fair manner. Some are easy calls, like if the topic is Poser and they start bringing in Iraq or religion, delete it. I haven't seen any name-calling in the Poser, Carrara, Mac or Poser Tech forums. However, if there is OT-style name-calling in any software or topic forum, IM the admins, who can then delete the offending messages if they think it's warranted. My suggestion is to leave it to the admins to make the judgement call, and don't saddle them with alot more rules, since they will do what's most conservative for the good of the website. The question is: where will the rabble-rousers show up, now that OT forum is gone? My guess is that they would go to the most popular forums. So the admins would monitor this forum and others, like the Poser forum, for malcontents. Like the thread about the OT forum that's now festering in the Poser forum - they would be wise to delete that ASAP, not only because it has absolutely nothing to do with Poser, but because it will inevitably degenerate into an OT-style mud-wrestling match.
