I've been pondering lately the need to tighten things up on the message board. I'm a big fan of "leave it alone and you'll get something great" but there have been a few instances of language and name calling I just don't want on the board. (I don't mind describing your project as "kicking ass" but I do mind calling someone a ***.

I appreciate everyone who helped pull things back around to being calm and steering the discussions back to what this board is for. I'm tempted to leave things alone.

However, I can up "security" a bit by turning on IP address logging. This means your IP address will be posted with every message. So far for privacy concerns I haven't wanted to do that. Thoughts anyone?

Hand in hand with that will be the ability to put up IP based bans if someone gets out of hand. This then begins a cycle of switch-ips and be a jerk and see if they can keep up with me - but I'm willing to play that game if it is necessary.

My present inclination is not to do any of that - but I'd like comments/feedback please. You can email me if you prefer.

Thanks!
