A while ago I suggested that Dr. Bob explains what he finds to be uncivil about someones post when he gives the PBC so that people understand that. I made that suggestion becuase I noticed a few threads where establishing that seemed to be a drawn out process.
Now what I would like to see is a request for clarification BEFORE a PBC is given on posts where it is likely that there is an explanation that could clear the matter up (as opposed to more straight foward cases of abuse). Asking someone to rephrase is much nicer than receiving a PBC, and so perhaps more PBC's could become requests for rephrasing also (assuming clarification doesn't assist).
I say this because I have to honestly say that I have tried my best to be supportive here, but have received 1 request to rephrase, and 2 PBC's. I am starting to feel like my best isn't up to the standards of this board. It hurts to get PBC's.
Just trying to make the process more supportive...
