All this poll requires is for each member to vote yes or no to the following. Guests votes will not be included in the final anaysis.
Vote YES If you want the moderators to take a very strong approach to mudcat members who FLAME or are abusive to other mudcat members. Good humoured banter is not the issue.
Stop guests being able to contribute to mudcat threads. Only allow them to read threads.
Make guests post in a seperate section that is moderated and abusive posts removed immediately.
Have a "report to moderator button" when a thread seems to be getting out of hand. In such cases the thread is locked until the issues are sorted out.
Vote No
If you don't agree. Remember guests do not get a vote, so any posting from guests is ignored.
At the end of the day, I think most decent mudcat members do not want the abuse that seems to be going on at the moment, to continue. I have to say that I am getting alarmed at the amount of abuse that is being handed out by the minority, which is causing good mudcat members to leave the forum.
