TP members coming and going
I think Murf's idea is the best should we get a lot of volume, it is the most complex for me to implement though but doable.
The easiest to put something in place quickly is the group email based on the moderator message to member with the problem post, so I think we will try this first.

Now my email link doesn't work. It says "Only TractorPoint Moderators can use this Messaging System"

TP members coming and going
Just back from being sick, I have read this entire post and it reminds me of the book Animal Farm. One thing nice about TP is truth as they see it whether it be Wing Wiper, Mark, Chief or whoever and the FREEDOM to express it without a bunch of rules or dispatchers (PIGS) regulating what grown men should be able to do on their own. Please Dennis this site is as much entertainment as informative. You cant have this much fun watching TV. Those guys added a big part to this Site I enjoyed reading the post whether about tractors or not. I had my round with WW and he is abusive and set in his ways we all have a little of that. The bottom line is I had fun. Like Will Rodgers I have not met anyone on TP that I didnt like, That Bob Adame, I think was his name, he was a tough pill to swallow. They should all come back and express their views and I will read them and be entertained.
Just my thoughts

In no way do I see that freedom changing  on this board, but there is always that tiny minority that do not possess an ability to express ideas civilly.

I agree with Cutter.
IMHO, there is a big difference between 'entertainment' or 'discussion' and plain out fighting.
From my point of view, I have absolutely NO intention of "regulating what grown men should be able to do on their own.".
However, like with anything else, there is an appropriate place for everything, and a lot of inappropriate places too. I don't expect any one of us would tolerate a bunch of shouting and cussing and personal attacks between members of the congregation during a church service, nor should we have to.
People who want to act in such a manner are free to do so, but in an appropriate place. This is NOT that place, IMHO.
I trust everyone will agree they came here for civil talk about tractors and the odd wander off into other interesting topics.
Best of luck.

MURF,
Please look up the words pointless and hostile. If I want preaching I will go to church and behave in the house of god. I do hope you dont consider TP to be a temple maybe that is what the "T' stands For. My point is dont saddle a dead horse those guys left of their own accord hopefully the rest will conduct ourselves a more civil manner. I welcome each and everyone of them back. I got good advice from all of their inputs some funny and some would stir you up YOU yourself have fenced with abusive elements on TP. Shoulder the load and get on with life is what I say to them shake hands and move on. I have enough rules, that is why I dont live in a subdivision, any more. I like the adversity on this site it makes you think, if you get mad the other side wins. Very seldom did I agree with WW and was always trying the lighten the sitiuation up but I do like to push buttons and the limits. If not I would not have bought a tractor and keep the wheelbrow.

We no longer have a "Pointless and Hostile" board. I changed it to "Current Events Health and Happiness". How is that for warm and fuzzy, I have also started to delete the overtly negative threads in there as well.
So lets talk about life and gallbladders in that board all in a civil manner, then while we have plenty of moderators we also will probably have almost no moderation at all to do!
We are abandoning the practice of banishing inflammatory junk to a "Pointless and Hostile" board.
Dennis

SG8NUC,
To start off with, I don't see the big deal?
This whole moderator idea wasn't meant for 99.99% of the posters here. Every once in a while, TP will get a (for a lack of a better word) trouble maker. Most of the time it's just someone that likes to argue. When it gets to be a problem is when it gets personal.
When Dennis created the Pointless and Hostile forum, he was hoping it wouldn't be used. He was actually condoning it. It didn't work out as planned.
[DennisCTB] clarification I did not condon it, just a temporary bucket prior to deletion, in an attempt to discourage acrid exchanges not encourage them! [/DennisCTB]
