If you have a better idea, I don't remember it...(other than NO editing, which has been decided is not practical)

It has - by whom?

The point is not censorship or no censorship. If you decide on censorship - and I am not really sure from Max's public statements that he ever did decide on this - you have to do a bloody good job of it and you can't just let it creep along.

As the current shambles demonstrates.

The only thing that everyone seems to agree the current 'system' should be doing - is protecting us from personal attacks. And despite all of the tinkering, current and proposed further restrictions on what we can post and where - it is the only thing that quite blatently has never been attempted.

For how can it when the Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team is permitted to set this example?
