I think that sounds pretty complicated honestly. To rotate different posters and decide who should or should not be blocked would be time consuming and compicated at the very least. I'm relatively new here and I get the feeling from old posters that "newbies" don't have as much of a say or aren't as welcome as posters who have been here for a while. Maybe I'm just interpreting things wrong?
I honestly think Dr Bob's doing fine. I realize that some posters are getting away with violations and others aren't. That's a shame. Consistency would be nice, but obviously Dr. Bob isn't available to monitor the site 24/7.
I know that sometimes before I send a post through I hesitate and wonder, "Is there a chance I may get a PBC?" I think the responsibility lies as much with us as it does with the monitor of the board. Before sending something through, maybe we could reread it and be sure their isn't anything offensive or possibly hurtful in the message? I know that sometimes it is hard to tell because the lines at this point are a bit blurred but profanity is a no-brainer at this point.
I've really appreciated this site and the posters here. I've gained quite a bit of insite and knowledge from posting and I just wish we could find a solution that works for everyone. :)
