An Answer to BB's dilemmas ?

Interesting and different approach. Much preferable to banning folks ... if it works. Brian, you truly are a creative person.

Hi Chris,

I think that both of these two definitely add something to the board, so I'm not trying to scare either one of them off. However, everyone has a different threshold for confrontation, and some people get turned off by seeing this sort of stuff. So before we condemn anyone, let's just say that I tried to give everyone an option that I hope they find suitable.

Best regards,

I agree Brian, and I would hate to see them leave or for this to go on. The more people bringing info to the forum the better

Great idea Brian....I hope that this approach will continue to have this board be the one we all like so much.. Thnx!

as long as it works Brian I am fine with it.

The only sad part I could think of in that scenario would be if a really good and informative thread got totally moved at the end because some jerk decided to attack someone personally. Maybe it might be possible to just move part of the thread after the fighting starts, that way those who invested time in posting and reading it won't lose all their effort??

I want you guys to know, that I don't like the fighting and ugliness any more than you do, and if anyone has a good suggestion for me about how to handle it better, please just pm me.

I believe this thread was about ideas to help keep koi bito afloat, which is a great topic and benefits us all. I would hate to see this forum close,as then the alternatives inside the states for a forum would be ummm, I'll leave it there....

That's exactly what he did in this case, and I would assume the same would happen in other cases.

Since we're being all civil, I'll try to ignore the fact that you STILL used your reply to take cheap shots.
