The methods and standards of censorship imposed here by unseen and 'unknown' clones
hiding under a cloak of secrecy
would not be tolerated on many other forums.

Even music forums catering mainly for adolescent membership
seem to have higher regard and respect
for the individual responsibility and self discipline of members;
administering clear-cut fair & open sanction systems for those
considered too immature to abide by agreed forum rules.


Some of the problem areas probably arise from limited functionality
of the archaic software this board runs on;
but mudcat does not compare well to other forums that work effectively
on the more acceptable disciplinary interventions
of 'named' moderators & admin,
fair warning, appeal and arbitration procedures..
and permanent record on the threads when and by whom a contribution has been deleted.

not much time to write at the moment, but this issue probably merits a new thread of its own..

seee ya later...
