Here's a thought-- do a quick Usersearch on new members you see posting when you get that "uh-oh" feeling that it might not be quite a nice post. Out of five or six posts so far, only one of Whippet's is a positive, helpful contribution about music.

Re-usable copy from a Mudcat official is needed to send them in a PM, and a designated volunteer to do it-- a friendly word of advice, then if it persists a copy of a cease-and-desist notice, then a stern last-chance warning, then loss of membership.

Membership has its privileges, and also IS a privilege.

In e-mailed acknowledgments of membership, to activate passwords and memberships at other websites, there is sometimes a "Terms of Membership" included.
