For you

..if you decide to take another crack at it I will give you some constructive criticism. Or this can stand as a useful bit of info for the next mod.

It may have been good if you would have taken a few hours and gone back several pages and went through post by post to get a feel for the flow of things and the contextual framework of what has been going on beyond the spin. That in itself would have given you a good base to start with.

From that base and from what the majority of the people were asking for (stooping personal attacks) it would have been simple from that point. Just make a declaration that there will be no more personal attacks allowed from *this* point on. That would have saved you lots of time and created an even playing field that fully backed up the TOS.

Then instead of babysitting people post by post and editing posts, just give people a warning and then a time out when they break this easy to follow request. If they repeat ban them for a lengthy amount of time. Pretty simple.

By doing it this way you would have quickly and easily created a safe environment that would have quickly spread throughout curezone letting members know that the Debate Forums are being watched and TOS is being backed up. Members who grew tired of being attack, would return to engage in meaningful discussions. Tweet
