That looks like it will work. Hopefully we can stay on track here and only the original posters will ever have to edit their posts. I will confine myself to to P&H and Just for Fun. Is that enforced?

Ken,
No it is not controlled right now, please feel free to go elsewhere if you see content that could benefit from activity. Should we have more participants in this we could make so we don't step all over each other.

Ok,
Here we go we have the following Moderators which have full site privileges below are the focus areas:
John Deere -- Billy Passmore, kwschumm
Kubota -- Murf, cutter
Pointless and Hostile -- kwschumm
Billy, Ken, cutter and Murf can take action anywhere on the site these are just suggested breakdowns. We could really use someone for New Holland I suppose as well, guess we'll see how it goes.
One part of moderation would also include being a catalyst for dialog. Please feel free to start topics if you like.
I probably need to do something to identify you as a moderator, probably add something to your Avatar if you have one.
Thanks,
Dennis

Dennis and Others:
I really appreciate what you are all doing. I am an active "listener" but a fairly rare poster. You are doing the right thing.
I once tried to come to Mark's rescue in the "You Gotta love them Democrats" and then got promptly blasted as I knew I would but I really thought Mark needed some moral support.....We need him back.
I think now would be a good time for you Dennis or someone else that may have access to his e-mail and let him know what has been done to better monitor more civil behaviour on this great site. I hope that when Mark knows the action that has been taken, he will be willing to come back....I, like many others have benefited greatly from his advice and observations.
Keep up the good work Dennis and all of you that have volunteered your valuable time to make this site even better.
Brian

This will be an interesting test and most difficult for the moderators. Does this mean that NO religion or political discussion will be tolerated? How much heated discussion is allowed before the discussion is censored? Will censorship be applied equally to long time members as to new (remember the above comment about it takes 2 to tango)? I would have voted for a programmatic method like the one Ken suggested. However this is the most efficient and has many benefits. Benevolent dictatorships (whoops - politics!) are the best form of government they say  . Good luck to the moderators!!

That's some good questions, ncrunch32! Until we get some kind of guidelines to work by, I guess we'll play it by ear. I think everyone can tell when a thread is headed south. Maybe as moderators we can change it's course before it goes to far. Arguing about something is one thing but when the cussing and name calling starts, that's something else. And yes, everyone will be treated the same.

I believe we are on the right track. No need to limit topics or discussions as long as they are respectful and decent. I debate politics all the time but some people can not do it without taking issues personally. That generally results in a thread going downhill fast, with name calling and foul language.
A warning to the offender should be sufficient. If the activity continues, then further action is warranted on the part of the moderators.
Does that sound about right?

I think Billy and Cutter have it right, I think the key is the words "discussion" and "arguement".....
Discussion should be encouraged, but we're all big boys, there really isn't a need to argue, certainly no room for personal attacks or course language or sentiments.
When I mentioned 'no talk' of politics or religion it was merely in reference to another organization, the thought is if the topics never come up, the line between discussion and arguement can never be crossed with them either.
I think Cutter brings up an excellent point, Dennis, is there some way that the Moderators can have access to *all* email contact addresses so that a friendly reminder can be sent when something starts going the wrong direction, or do you want to handle that for us?
I don't know about a dictatorship, I would hope moderation will seldom if ever, be needed. Editing maybe, or correction possibly, but not censorship.
Best of luck.
