Ironic that this gets put into place shortly after ex-INACHI member Jim Bushart's lengthy thread re: how INACHI is now working with vendors. I would sure hate to see any moderation of posts simply because of dissent. Granted JB can be grating and offensive at times but, bottom line, is right more often than wrong. Questioning methods and motives should not, in and of itself, warrant a thread or pose deletion.

Now, also go eliminate the silly Reputation System and Thread Tags and progress will be made.

Come on guys where's your "Freedom of Speech" posts. Can't believe I haven't seen one yet. That's all I heard when I proposed the message board task force. Remember? Just giving a hard time. It's just funny how people turn in different directions so quick.

I would be more than happy to act as a moderator Nick...........'twould sure cut down on the emails sent and received.

I could be wrong but I don't believe JB's posts are the kind that need to be moderated.

I believe that all members of the NACHI Code of Ethics & Standards of Practice {ESOP} Committee should be able to delete comments and or threads by NACHI bashing non members.

Agree... non-members would soon learn to show some respect
for another persons home.

This could end up being a can of worms. There are obvious conflicts between certain members and non-members. And there are certain people who hold grudges. This could turn into a mess if someone with authority to delete posts already has a history with the person whose post is being deleted.

And what about those that have thin skin in regards to certain subjects? Or they just don't like the response? Or they personally don't like a particular post or subject?

Strict guidelines will need to be set, that is for sure.

Non-members have no rights. It is a privilege to post on this forum.

Agreed!
All too often we have "Turned the other cheek" and all we got was.... Rosy Cheeks!

When someone comes into YOUR house and slaps your face, insults you, slanders you and your family…. Then they should be “shown to the door”!


This should have been implemented YEARS ago!

Place me in position of Non Member Message Board Moderation Czar, and I will delete all Non Member posts immediately. Problem solved

[Scott Gilligan, CMI]

Add me to the list of moderators. I don't get wrapped up in all the drama and believe in keeping the board free from a lot of the crap that goes on here in the past.

I agree. But that is not the issue I raised. Maybe you don't like a post or the person that made a post, but someone else finds it helpful or amusing or scintillating. Without direction, you and you alone decide to delete the post. Other than making you feel good about the deletion, how has that helped the members who never got a chance to see the post or didn't think it was worthy of deletion?

I don't have a problem with any posts made by Ray or his multiple identities being deleted as soon as possible. That makes sense. And posts by non members made strictly to insult or denigrate our organization or a member of our organization should be gone also.

But what happens when one of those given authority to delete posts doesn't like the post a member made? Sure you can say, "oh they would never delete a member's post". There is nothing you can say that can convince me that it would never happen. There are some that hold grudges. Plain and simple. And when the passion comes out in regards to politics or religion or any of the other hot button topics, the power can get out of hand.

Power corrupts; Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
