Fair warning: The 100 percent tolerance is over. We will start with temporary suspensions and move from there. This will apply to future posts, and it will apply to inappropriate posts as well as those that are clear provocations of such posts.

We will also start enforcing the rule that is strictly enforced at AK: public discussions of moderation decisions are off limits. That means that if discipline is imposed, there will be no cartwheels of celebration or bitching about it being unfair. There are plenty of topics here for discussion. Moderation will not be one of them.

This has been a topic of serious discussion among the moderators and the management.

I believe the answer is, basically, whatever management thinks. I don't see a way to have clear cut lines.

You hate Ike Bana? Is this really true? We should consider the use of the term "hatred" very carefully and try to be capable to avoid it generally as far as possible. But of course I respect your sentiment and I share your criticism of what Ike Bana said and it is actually an ugly violation of civility.

Not the same and you know it. You made a comment generalizing women like they're cattle. My comment to you was how many women would respond to that 50's era statement you made. It was a legitimate response unlike that of Bana's.

No I don't! You post as if you live in the 50's when it comes to women. Women of today are stronger than they were in your day. They want the challenges that men have. You want to treat them as if they're inferior & can't cut it unless we make it easier on them.

Pity is just a bad-connotation word for 'sympathetic concern.' Doesn't seem like a crime to me. Anyone who doesn't want my pity, should I offer any, is free to disregard it. BTW, YOU WON'T HAVE TO BEND OVER AND STRAIN TO READ INSULTING CONNOTATIONS INTO MY POSTS. MY INSULTS WILL BE PLAINLY STATED.

The term "old lady" is quite disrespectful in itself. Heal thyself.

Would it surprise you that many women today would crumble under the pressures women of past years have had to endure? You think any women today could have endured pioneer life or living on the plains in the great depression? THAT my friend was equality and respect.

My wife of 35 years hold her own. She is a professional and brings home some good dough. But she likes to be treated like a lady. She enjoys the attentions and treatment of a gentleman and she is not a all "demeaned when I offer to take care of the heavy lifting and dirty work so she doesn't break her nails.

No, I'm not a marriage counselor but the women I know respect me, I respect them and I've managed to maintain a strong relationship for 35 years...no, make that 42 years as I knew my wife for 5 years before we got married so I suppose I qualify. What do you have?

OK, we are now 27 hours into the New World Order and so far, and I admit it is still early in the game, but so far, from what I am seeing, the usual suspects are continuing to Troll unabated and with apparent impunity, while the good posters are now walking on eggshells trying not to be offensive.

Therefore, at this point, my assessment is that this new policy is, in effect, a "Be nice to Trolls" policy.

Neither Pete nor I have time to babysit. Everyone knows a line was crossed, and if that line is crossed again, there will be consequences. One expects everyone here to be adults and to be able to exercise some judgment. If judgment is not exercised and either Pete or I see a reason to take action, that action - or lack thereof - is not a matter for public discussion.

OK, we are now 27 hours into the New World Order and so far, and I admit it is still early in the game, but so far, from what I am seeing, the usual suspects are continuing to Troll unabated and with apparent impunity, while the good posters are now walking on eggshells trying not to be offensive.

Therefore, at this point, my assessment is that this new policy is, in effect, a "Be nice to Trolls" policy.

You will note that for my part, I've changed my personal rulebook. Stupid harmful expression will be called-out, shown to be what it is, and labeled strongly. Trolls are harmful, and should do not deserve to be treated 'nicely.'

Fair warning: The 100 percent tolerance is over. We will start with temporary suspensions and move from there. This will apply to future posts, and it will apply to inappropriate posts as well as those that are clear provocations of such posts.

We will also start enforcing the rule that is strictly enforced at AK: public discussions of moderation decisions are off limits. That means that if discipline is imposed, there will be no cartwheels of celebration or bitching about it being unfair. There are plenty of topics here for discussion. Moderation will not be one of them.

This has been a topic of serious discussion among the moderators and the management.

You know, Don, this is really a sad situation.

You would think that we, as the chosen few, could manage to elevate our rhetoric beyond the level of a 2nd grader.

Guess not.

Personally, the profanity has never bothered me, but the mentality of attacking one's intelligence, or one's station in life over a simple political disagreement certainly has. Perhaps this is a result of being unable to differentiate between a hypothesis and a conclusion.

Anyway, this is not a game adults play.

Agreed that it is sad. I know the comment about the chosen few was tongue in cheek, but if you look at us we are really the outcasts. We engage here in the conversations that are forbidden at AK.

I've always been of the notion that if you can ignore a problem long enough, it will take care of itself. And 99% of the time that is the case.

Unfortunately, you're Marshall Dillion. You have accepted the responsibility to go forth and settle issues of which even you are not positive of who is the "good" guy or the "bad" one. Which puts you in a bad situation, as it counters your innate appreciation of the free flow of ideas...thus free flowing discourse...no matter what the level.

In other words, you have become one of those your abhor.

You know, when I was young I wanted power...not so much to control people, but to prevent them from controlling me. And I have achieved a certain amount of it.

The flip side of the coin is it comes with responsibility. Hell, I don't wanna be the boss, but I don't for sure wanna be the serf.

And we were there. Didn't catch shit. Finally I looked to the rear of the boat and neither rod tip was working. The lures were fouled together.

Now I don't mind being the Charter Captain/Indian Guide and running the boat on a contour and letting her catch the fish...but she's had enough experience to know the rod tips aren't working...and to say something.

This forum should be a place for political debate. Personal vendettas interfere with that purpose. This is not a matter of keeping score. Each person should accept responsibility for his or her own conduct. Any real or perceived slight does not justify massive retaliation, or stalking, or a campaign of character assassination. There are plenty of targets for finger-pointing. Finger-pointing is not the type of posting that makes this a worthwhile website to visit. I detest the thought of having to engage in line-drawing when adults should be capable of drawing reasonable lines on their own. But if it is necessary for the health of this forum, I will.

Great!

At AK we have a motto (is motto the correct term?) - "All Audio, No Attitude". David, wouldn't it be fine if this forum got a motto as well, a motto that consists of the attitude of mind of your comment above?

A fine line to walk there as this site was kind of born to keep the attitude out of AK. On the other hand, it really doesn't need to be all attitude.

Remember The Wire? When the police decided to let one section of Baltimore be a criminal free for all (like a criminal red-light district) so that all the other parts of the city would suddenly be free of all the bad crime so that at least the rest of the town was crime free? Political Chat forms that function, except that all the criminals here are left-wingers lol.;)

Fair warning: The 100 percent tolerance is over. We will start with temporary suspensions and move from there. This will apply to future posts, and it will apply to inappropriate posts as well as those that are clear provocations of such posts.

We will also start enforcing the rule that is strictly enforced at AK: public discussions of moderation decisions are off limits. That means that if discipline is imposed, there will be no cartwheels of celebration or bitching about it being unfair. There are plenty of topics here for discussion. Moderation will not be one of them.

At Audiokarma 4-2-7 has been banned today. I can't notice anything offensive in his last posts, I can't see that he broke the rules.

Most of you disliked him here in this forum and I can understand it. His behaviour was repeatedly absolutely unacceptable. But he was always very nice to me and very very helpful and understanding. This is the reason why I will miss him.

Of course - the name of Dan's most dangerous enemy is: Dan. Pity.

Chris,
It is almost impossible to get banned permanantly the first time from any AK venue, here, audio site, or video site. You know, you've seen it. There are as of today 199,905 critics registered at AK audio site, many of them just dying to spout opinions on anything at all. Especially politics.
Compared to other sites, those in charge here are fair to a fault. Besides the rules are so simple and basic....
Me?, I just can't feel sorry for anybody who gets banned even if they seem a nice guy to most everybody.
Thanks to all those in charge who keep it fun. :)

I suppose that I am pretty familiar with Audiokarma. But a temporary ban over there, as it is practised here, is new to me. I have seen about ten AK'rs which I liked and had been banned, and none of them ever returned. Actually years before one of the moderators, I think it was Clay, told me that almost never a ban at AK is taken back. Almost never.

However, Dan is a great guy. But he is not capable of controlling his demons, and that destroys everything. Or in other words, he is a sort of Jekyll and Hyde case.

Okay then, let us move on...

I was given a 2 week "time out" at AK for responding to another member's political posts. Apparently, I was marked as "BANNED" during the period of my vacation. Minus 5 and KC may be experiencing a similar "punishment".

I was a member on a political site that had a "no holds barred" attitude about ad-hom attacks. One day they changed their rules and no longer allowed ad-hom attacks. At first, people got one or two week suspensions, but eventually a lot of members simply went away. They could not argue politics/culture without calling their opponents names and most of their posts could be summarized as "You're wrong and you are stupid and/or evil."

The whole place changed. And here's how: The conservative voices got louder and more numerous, and the far left kids went away, leaving in their place, the thoughtful liberals that could actually form cohesive arguments and, as a bonus, actually post in complete sentences.

i.e. it was good all around and became, in many ways, a much better and fairer discussion of current events.
