1. I don't feel that a lengthy blocks helps the posters here. In fact, I believe that a block that lasts more than a month could do more damage than good.
2. Change the math that is used to figure the blocks. I don't understand it (math is not my strong suit) and frequently wouldn't have the time to work it out, even if I could.
3. In a time of crisis, I think it would be really nice to see the deputies and the "older members" lend themselves to calming the members that are obviously very upset. . I would like to see the deputies and posters acknowledge that people who are scared, hurt and angry respond differently than they do when things are running smoothly.
4.I believe that helping people feel safe is more important than a PBC when the person isn't really very responsible for what's happening in their heart and head. Diffusing a situation shows compassion and the poster knows they have been heard.
5. I don't believe that this site can run itself. I've always believed that responsibility starts at the top.
6. This isn't aimed at any one deputy. I am not casting blame, just suggestions for the future.
7. It would be really cool if by looking at what has happened in the past few days the posters could committ to not "stirring the pot" as that is very upsetting to people who want to see a solution...not more conflict.
