> Sorry, but I think it's easier if it's one thread, so I've incorporated yours into this one.OK. It seems to me that this is something that other posters have done before successfully. Since this thread started out with an unrelated topic, and since the 3-complaint rule and suggested alternatives seem to be open to a lot of interesting debate, I thought it might be good to start a new thread. But it's your site. Sorry if I overstepped my bounds.
> > I am Poster A. Twice I have asked Administration to make a call on Poster B’s posts ** that weren’t about me or something I’d written** Twice Admin has ruled that his/her posts were civil. Would I ever again be able to question a Poster B post?

> A could keep questioning them. But if any more of the questioned posts were considered civil, those complaints would be considered uncivil.Even if A's requests ** were about something B said about A or something A had written ** (as opposed to some other question about the acceptability of what B posted)?

> Yes, if there's a chance that the questioned post would be considered civil, then B would be taking a risk.OK.
> > Let’s say that Poster A questions each [and every] member’s posts two times...

> That would be an issue, but it's not the current issue...Actually, it seems like it to me, but once again, it's your site.
> > If during “a calendar year” [substitute whatever Admin thinks is fair] Poster A questions Poster B’s posts two or more times, and those requests lead to two judgments by Administration that the questioned posts were civil, then any subsequent request by Poster A about Poster B, which follows with a judgment that the questioned post was civil, shall result in Poster A being blocked.

> Could I substitute 10 years? :-)Sure. Heck, you wouldn't even have to be fair (which I've always assumed you would be)... it is your forum.
