Quote - I run a small model railroad forum and I found that the best tool for dealing with those who cause trouble is putting that person on moderation for a time, where their posts have to be approved before they become public.  I don't know if the Forum software here allows it, so it might not be feasible here.  I have only ever banned blatant spammers and have only deleted a handful of posts in 7+ years.  However, it is a small forum...

 

I was a member of a 16mm Model Railway forum and they ran a similar procedure although, in truth most personal attacks were picked up and corrected before such procedures were needed.  Again though it was a very much smaller forum.

I can understand, and agree with personal attacks being deleted but often the attacks are the result of a dubious post.  AmbientShade highlighted what I felt was a very valid point in that the number of personal attacks would be reduced if it was made clear what was fact and what was opinion.  Everyone is entitled to their veiwpoint but attacking a peice of software on the basis you have some inside knowledge that you cannot divulge might just get someones back up. 

 

 

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
