I am not here to tell you to stop discussing issues which you feel are important, BUT... I am now asking that you keep the SAI discussions in one post. (The part search post can also be added (2nd post) and tacked. I removed it do to some comments within the post which were not appropriate.)

I am also asking that you guys discuss the issues with a little bit more control. I don't want to see ANY personal information posted or you will be banned. This is a standard operating policy for us and there will be no excuses for doing so. I would also ask that you tell your stories (angry if you must) without the attacks or insults. That doesn't get you anywhere and will only lead to problems.

Again, discuss things all you want, share your stories, but keep things in control. I will not risk my sanity or the website because someone is pissed off enough to say things they shouldn't. If you care enough to make sure your voice is heard, then don't put me or the site in harms way.

Thanks. [=)]

Quoted: I have observed this technique of "posioning the well" before. GG or one of his minions baits everyone into posting in anger, then everything gets pulled. It's worked pretty well for him in the past.

This may be the case, and why I am asking you guys to try to contain it to one single thread where you can moderate each other's comments and where we can remove one users comments and keep the thread alive.

It's much easier to manage one discussion from being shut down than 100.

Tell your stories, discuss things as you see fit, but keep anger, insults, and especially private information out.

I've already let the mods/staff know that they are free to pull any comments or posts from other threads which are clean. I want all the original threads left as they are with the comments intact.

I figure if the same people are posting in 10-12 posts, then it shouldn't be a problem to get them to repost their issues in a new thread.
