A Public Service Announcement on Responsible Posting - Beyond Tiki

This was partially due to the tangle you and I got into. The end result is a lot of people get warnings from me, or get (temporarily) banned from TC to cool down, without the rest of TC ever knowing it happened. Even when a topic is locked, I don't typically announce who (if anyone) got banned. If Bong had not posted this, you wouldn't have never known it had happened. Still, what appears to be selective enforcement can occur if no one signals to me that a topic or post or member needs moderating of some kind. I don't even come close to reading every single TC post, so I rely on other members to let me know if there's something going down. The U-Moderate feature has been a real help with this. ~Hanford
