I wish to address the current state of affairs on the forum.
I took over the operation of the RT forum from Kasanjian Research
when it moved from their server to the Yahoo groups. At that time, I
had intentionally meant to be a "behind the scenes" moderator and
wanted to allow for free discussion without any heavy handed
approaches.
Over the last year or so, there have been several problems to handle
and I had done so both publicly and privately, either by removing
members for personal attacks or reprimanding them for attempting to
sell items and their wares, both openly and covertly. As a result, I
received numerous private emails stating this was too strict an
approach and more freedom should be allowed, some too obscene to
repeat here.
It has been obvious that the recent posts have deteriorated into name
calling, personal attacks, and the like. Unfortunately, I have had a
change in circumstances recently that has not allowed me to maintain
a close, daily ability to monitor the forum and try and maintain the
decorum and professionalism this forum demands. I got back in town
last night, and caught up with the recent posts and was very
disappointed to see what has recently transpired. I thought that most
everyone on this forum would agree and abide by actions that respect
other members, but it is clear this is not the case.
I have had contact with Bob with regard to adding more moderators
either by individuals or a group of people, so that more than one
person can keep watch over the quality of what is being posted.
To those who are creating the personal attacks and trying to incite
other members, posting ability has been suspended temporarily in an
effort to allow for more posts consistent with the policies of the
forum.
I have also frozen new membership pending a review of whether a
questionnaire should be implemented/redesigned for inclusion to
assure that members will abide by quality, on-topic posts and
contribute properly.
Of course, existing members who have a change of email address can
continue to have access to the forum by simply emailing me with the
pertinent information.
To all current members, please accept my apologies for the lack of
quality and I hope you will have patience in the short term while
additional resources are brought on to assist with the forum.
