Regarding threads in the exchange.

Hi guys -

I have been enjoying your forum here for a couple of months now (and supporting it by buying products from your paying vendors etc.).

I was reading a thread in the exchange area - specifically in the good bad and ugly area -

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=696483

I admin at a forum, and belong to several others that have areas where members can sell items etc.

I would suggest that you put in place a firm rule that only people involved in a transaction (especially one that has gone sour) be allowed to post in it.

The thread above degenerated into an argument between people who actually were involved, and people who had no business in the thread at all, and did not add anything worth reading to it.

Just a suggestion - with a board you have to eliminate as much grey area as possible to make it easier on your volunteer (assuming) moderators.

Thanks for a great place to spend my online time.

best regards -

mqqn

Not going to happen.

We have a policy here that ALL people are allowed to speak their minds.

If a thread in TGB&U forum gets out of hand, then we will step in. Otherwise, members are free to give their opinions as they see fit, as long as they follow the rules when posting.
