Good heavens, people....

Wow, so much for peace and harmony around here. As I've done before in another post, let me set the record straight about moderation and the goal of it here....
The goal of the moderator is to:
- contain and guide the direction of conversation
- lock and/or delete posts which contradict or conflict with the User Signup Agreement
- point newcomers (with what we all would call "newbie" questions) to the correct resource to find the answer
- report users who may be consistently violating the guidelines of the User Signup Agreement
That's basically it as far as the duties of the moderator.
Now, as far as policies on moderating posts, I think we'll just get in the habit of deleting (vs. editing) posts of a questionable nature. No sense in leaving garbage around that just clutters up the system. Therefore, going forward, if your message is deemed "questionable" by the moderators (and yes, that's up to them to deem it that way), it will be deleted. If a moderator determines that the majority of a thread is valuable, and just a small number of the posts in the thread are junk, only the questionable posts should be deleted. If the majority of the posts in a thread are junk, then the entire thread should be deleted.
Yes, I'll be putting more moderators in place when the new forum upgrade is complete toward the beginning of next month. If you have disputes about any moderator, please e-mail the moderator and copy me (jamie@maxima.org) on the e-mail so I can know what's going on.
If anyone has questions, feel free to e-mail me.
