>The type of post I had in mind for the Type I was the "you're an idiot" type of post

>they are derogatory in nature, contain profanity and contain no information relevant to the thread they were posted on. I would still classify these as Type I because our response should be the same, to pointedly ignore the poster.

Stan,

My impression of what you are suggesting is that type I be at a level where some type of response, or non-response (such as ignoring the poster) is indicated. This makes sense to me. Here is a rough draft proposal for the classification system...

type I -- irritating, counterproductive comments lacking factual or referenceable content

type II -- potentially dangerous to investors/traders

type III -- obviously dangerous to either computers or people

Profanity, vulgarity and off-subject posts are inconsistent with SI rules, and therefore may not need to be included in the classification system being developed...especially since these could be applicable to any of the three types indicated above.

The three proposed classifcations are basically levels of severity for discussion purposes only. What do you think?
