Some people really like police states and to control how other people express themselves, I suppose.

And some people want to take it waaaaay too far. They want to police things so that only their opinions can be heard.
That's not the kind of moderating we need.
I've been on boards where that's far too common. I've been banned from boards where if you don't spout off the popular opinion you're nothing.
Methinks that's what the OP truly wants.

99% of my alerts are for off topic, nudity, or foul language most of the time if it is borderline I leave it alone and let others make the decision for themselves. In other words I only alert when it is an obvious violation. Some of the razors edge borderline I send a U2U to the member discussing it. I usually get an understanding of the thoughts of the member and a lot of the time I learn something in the process.

I'm gonna respond and I certainlly want read the whole thread. Let me say what i suspect others will say. And let me quote it for you." Nobody likes a tattle tale,snitch,stool pigeon,rat,backstabber,indian giver" And for all intents & purposes' this is what you are doing. You created a thread totell all of us on here, to not read your threads and to stir clear of you. I only speak for myself, I'm sure I'm not alone.
I'm sure a few of us will do the same to you, whether you deserve it or not. It's the nature of the beast. So I myself know who to look for when a thread is closed for T&C, you shined the light on yourself dear sir.
I have allways taught my chilldren, if you have a problem with a person,a place or a thing, it's as easy as just stay away from them. That simple. Is that sage advice or will you ALERT button me for a T&C violation.

Its attitudes like this that allow bullying to continue, and when it gets extreme, everyone is shouting "why didn't someone do something about it?"
Is that sage advice
