<<OT: For You, Guardian...>> Even given a generous interpretation of your proposed standards, I'd have been bounced long ago. BTW, I don't find much fault with what you're suggesting... though it does sound a little like one of those village councils in the UK where even a sneeze must be legislated. But, the gist of your thinking is worth serious consideration. With the exception of some of my off-topic meanderings on the world of SI, etc, this THREAD used to be very much like the kind of place I think you'd appreciate. As one poster has put it, it was sleepy but cordial. We had folks who questioned SEEK's management or despaired that SEEK would languish forever in also-ran-ness. Then, for whatever reason (and I'm feigning ignorance as to exactly why), it devolved VERY quickly... into a diss-for-dat-fest. And it was for from cordial. Indeed, it became almost unreadable. Nobody comes off looking ver good when on the attack or on the defensive... Anyway, I wish you well with your investments... and progress with your ideas for standards. Best Regards, c m

Guardian writes: If I owned the board, I would set up a 10 member Judiciary panel comprised of members whose posts consistently reflect the criteria and standards for informative posts, as determined by nomination and electronic vote of all members. ------ Probably a better solution would be to develop a 'profile filter' that would allow each member to designate a list of posters whose posts they want to skip over. I know some of the old usenet news readers used to provide this type of functionality. Its better for the members because we get to decide who we don't want to 'listen' to and its better for SI because once they get it working, there's no panel bureaucracy to maintain.
