I say go for it dude. I would not like to see things get out of hand like the other message boards. That is one of the things that make this one so much better....it seems to be more mature.

: 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!
