For the record, I suggested that posting in the non-music section be members-only; and that non-member posts in the music section be screened by volunteers (not specifically Joe Offer) before they are made visible to the public.

This should serve to eliminate the problem of the stream of anonymous combative posts we've had, and it should significantly reduce our Spam problem. It may even serve to reduce the need to monitor or delete posts from our members, since they won't have anonymous trolls to fight with any more.

Max hasn't expressed an opinion on this proposal, and Max is the one who will make the decision.
