[QUOTE=Jetryder223;151424]John, Rob & Mikey - Surprised you guys have not weighed in on this. It IS your sandbox after all.
Let me break it down for you. Their are 2 positions:
We are all adults with diverse opinions and backgrounds. Occasional flame wars (within reason) will be tolerated and provide an interesting dynamic to the forum.
This forum is NOT the place for political debate and we will not tolerate personal attacks of any kind. Keep it maritime related or take it somewhere else.
Your call guys. We will (try to) comply.[/QUOTE]
You guys are on your own here. We’ve tried to moderate, we get complaints. We don’t moderate, we get complaints. The only thing I do is that if a post or thread gets reported, I’ll usually just delete or close without thinking twice about it. The only thing we strictly don’t tolerate is personal attacks because that usually ends in that person threatening us with some sort of action. So good luck fellas!
PS - I actually think some sort of meet-up or small local meet-ups would be a good idea… I have no doubt that we would all get along in person. Just as long as there is a good bouncer. And c.captain is definitely buying my drinks.
I like the idea of a local meet-up. As long as people are discreet and not “out” each other on the board (which should trigger a deletion from Mikey) it could be fun and even productive.

Excellent - We have a decision.
Religion, politics & porn are ok, just keep it from getting personal or threatening.

It’d be my pleasure but don’t be wanting any of that expensive top shelf booze…I’m just a poor fisherman from the old country…

[QUOTE=PaddyWest2012;151442]We ought to have the meet up at sea so if anything goes wrong (or everything goes wrong) there won’t be any evidence![/QUOTE]
I volunteer the ORCA but everyone has to bring booze and chip in for fuel and then if everything goes wrong…
[QUOTE=Jetryder223;151644]Does anyone besides me think we take this forum too seriously?
If you don’t like where a thread is going, stop reading it. If someone is a real a-hole adding nothing of value, put them on your “ignore” list.[/QUOTE]
Anyone that takes an anonymous board seriously must have a miserable existence. What’s next?? A “social responsibility” course to qualify to post?LOL!
