Here is what I am struggling with. This reminds me so much of a class I taught that literally had more rules than subjects to cover. The prof. used to create a rule every time there was a new problem behavior on the part of the students.
Hellloooo? Why not address the problem or concern with the individual? Not every new behavior that happens is going to generalize to the group. IMO, rules should be made when a problem behavior is seen in many posters, such as being uncivil. Otherwise, I believe an administrator would serve the community much more effectively by addressing individual behavior with the individual(s).
For example, I often interject silly comments into serious discussions, particularly on Admin. If this is a behavior that Dr. Bob and others dislike as being disruptive or perhaps disrespectful, I would appreciate Dr. Bob emailing me and telling me so rather than making a new rule.
No new rule saying only 3 funny posts per month, and the humor will be judged by Dr. Bob! (Shoot, I should never try to make up protest slogans...much too verbose.)
Anyone else thinking this?
