Personal Attacks and Moderation

[Ray916MN]

First I wanted to apologize for being lax on moderation recently. I've got a winter hobby totally unrelated to motorcycling and have been a bit focused on it. While I wasn't paying attention to this forum it appears some stuff has been posted that clearly needed to be moderated and some stuff was posted that the need to moderate was less clear. Either way in the past few months, the number of posts that have required moderation or needed to be considered for moderation has increased.

In an attempt to stop this trend, I'm going to try a different approach to moderation and see how it goes.

Any post which a member feels personally attacks them, can be reported by that person to me (click on the report post to moderator icon on the post) and I will moderate the post.

I hope that this removes any and all incentive for people to post things that are or can be perceived as personal attacks, and I hope this eliminates the need for anyone who feels they are being personally attacked to respond to the attack.

Simply put, no personal attacks folks. Please help me make this so.

I wish all ya all would get sleds, then the fun would never stop.

No sleds.

Indoor winter hobby that I can do while home, so I can pointedly tell my wife when riding time comes, that I've been home all winter.

1. Stamp collecting

2. Knitting/sewing/crocheting

3. Scrapbooking

4. Watching TV

5. Working on motorcycles

One way to make me curious about what you're doing is to throw out some vague hints.
