Not much has been said of notification buttons here. I notified adm three times when I thought things were way out of hand. I didn't hear nor could I see that the style had changed.
I did get an answer this week on one. I think it was this week. I felt like I could see the old slippery slope coming and wanted to stop it.
When the notification button is pushed, do you people talk to the "offender" in the thread?
I realize that frequently the "offendee" can be off mark and I think the policy is to answer when there is no "incivilty" involved..Am I correct on that ?Does everyone get a reply when they push the "button"?
I hope we can go back to the way we handled things and people can move on and understand how the board has tradionally run.
I can remember only one other person (not counting me) who was blocked for derogatory statements that upset several posters. And that has been in 6 years here.
When we asked for "a little more administration and a lot less aggravation" speaking for myself only, that didn't mean heavy handed " supervision. And as Dinah said there will be learning period, as there should be. I believe that the Politics board is very different from other forums. Thin skin doesn't work on the board.
Perhaps a much stronger header should be on that page so that posters know immediately what the rules are there. ANd how different the board is from say, medications.
