Ignorant or not to the regulation, the erector behaved in a manner that might have represented a violation of that regulation. Whether or not there was a violation is the job of the magistrate (administrator) to determine. I don't think it is desirable to "flag" every "civil" behavior as a possible violation of every possible interpretation of every possible regulation. (Some humor was attempted in the previous sentence). It is cumbersome on the system. You may do that, of course, but it might be redundant here on Psycho-Babble as this function is already performed by the administrator.

That would give him sufficient time to review it on his own, and avoid the redundancy and collection of unnecessary posts on the administration board. You could ask the doctor what would be a sufficient time as I don't know what his review cycle period is.

You wrote,[...the flagpole erector {might } have...]
There is the meeting to determine if erecting the flagpole is a {structure} that is not like other structures. So he thinks that he has not erectred a {structure}, hence the meeting for the determination by the towne board of directors.The mweeting is public and all those in the community have the opportunity to participate and give input for the determination to be made.
Some want the flagpole taken down. Others want it to stay.
You wrote,[...I don't think it is desirerable to "flag" evry...]. I understand your point. I think that more administatrators such as deputys could alleviate your concern. The function of the town meeting is for {any} question about something to be determined that is relevant to the rules of the community. In the Psycho-babble community, there is the administrative board that IMO parallels the town meeting.
You wrote, [...it is cumbersome on the system...]. That is true and that is why I think that we could have a need for more administrators in the form of deputys.
You wrote that the forum's administration function is already performed by the administrator. That is correct, but it it my understanding that he invites input and feedback also to aid in administration.
You wrote, [...wait 3 days...].This is a good idea and there is a discussion with me and Dr. Hsiung concerning something like that and is being developed.
Besr regards,
Lou
