We already have "Report to Moderator" if someone is really out of line and stupidly posting personal attacks. If moderators do not do their job then it would be useless to attempt new rules.

Good discussion anyways.

ya and what We need is : "E:mail to Moderator" what a concept lol~~~

We do get emailed when things are reported.

If you want to walk on water, get out of the boat

I was just pointing out that ip ban= totally useless and also dangerous, as eventually someone else will use the same ip and will find himself banned for no reason

Agree with Torn. Freedom of speech is more important than your feelings. If someone says something you don't like, hit that little Ignore button. Problem solved and everyone's happy.

Problem with that is someone has to decide what is a personal attack. Reading hundreds of post's a day is hard enough but deciding what is bad/good would not be easy. Yes, many you can see obviously but no-one should have carte blanche to delete/ban posters except admins. Even then, it would be a near impossible task.

Still, I do understand the desire but I value Free Speech more than my delicate eyes. Allowing most anything is so much better than limiting anyone, even the assholes.

Be well.

I agree.

But it is so easy when we are all anonymous and posting from our parents basements.

I'm guilty of it but I do think it might not be a bad idea to encourage bitcointalk.org members to debate ideas and opinions with out bringing personal attacks into it. Is it even possible on bitcointalk.org with such a long tradition of raging personal attacks and epic name calling. I doubt it but I'll try to clean up my act.
