Hey Scud

Hi Chuck,

All points taken. The new rules, however, should be warning enough for now. Again, if you don't think the rules apply to you, then they probably don't.

I want to stay strict until it's proven that the need for strictness is no longer necessary. I suspect most will go along, some reluctantly and some with no problems at all. Some will leave in a huff, some will leave and come back quietly over time. Whether it's a waste of my time, time will tell.

You're dead on as far as taking the job and then complaining it's hard. I didn't mean for it to sound so much like a complaint, just came as a surprise. Dumb, I know. We didn't have this problem at my old club that I recall and I was pretty good friends with the moderators. We were a much smaller club, so that's probably why.

I know Jim would not appreciate peolpe not feeling welcome, but he's had to take part in all this as well. Just an FYI, but apparently it's ONLY our forum. Not sure what that says, but being that it's mine, I don't like it, nor should you. We seem to be the "talk of the town" here at the Blitz. Regardless, I'm not sure rules regarding behavior should make one feel unwelcome, but yes, the resulting listed penalties might. I'll take that into consideration, but it will remain for the short term.

So far so good though. Since midnight no bans!

Anyway, Chuck, I appreciate the input. Keep thinking, keep posting your thoughts and I'll keep listening.

Thanks,
Dave
