Subject: RE: BS: Closed threads & deleted posts (3)
Sorry, unnamed Guest. The policy has been stated - very clearly and very often. It's in the FAQ. It's in the Help Forum. It's in several recent threads where anonymous Guests have been posting. Where else should the policy be stated?
Oh, and there's a blank space where you're supposed to put your name in the message posting box. If you post without a name, you're taking a risk of deletion - above or below the line.
If you violate our policies, you may suffer appropriate consequences. The consequences will vary according to the situation. These consequences are NOT punishments - they are measures we take to keep the peace. We do what we need to do to keep things under control, and try to avoid doing more editing than we need to. We have had a serious problem with heavy posting by unnamed Guests this week, so our control measures have naturally been heavier.
Some say that's inconsistency, but I disagree. We do what we need to do to keep the peace. If things are peaceful, we don't do much. They haven't been peaceful lately.
