> Friends,
> There is now in place a new rule that says that one can not ask Dr. Hsiung about his thinking if they have in all the years here asked him about his thinking as to if he thinks that a statement is or is not acceptable in relation to the guidlines of the forum. But rules can be undone and replaced by a better rule that could be more suppotive and civil,right?No, that's not the rule. The rule is a limit of three (3) posts objecting/"requesting a determination"/whatever about a specific poster THAT HAVE BEEN JUDGED ACCEPTABLE.
If Dr Bob finds that the posts in question are not within the guidelines for the site, there is not a limit. The limit only applies when the posts questioned are judged to be within the guidelines.
The idea is to limit the number of spurious requests.
> My proposal here IMO could offer a way to satify both sides on the issue as to if one can ask on the administrative forum a request for a determination , which IMO is like a request for clairification.

> LouNo, your proposal does not seem to offer a way to satisfy both sides. It only seems like a way to satisfy you.
For your satisfaction, have you considered creating your own forum? It's not hard, and I am even willing to help you. The script this forum is based on is free, and you would then be able to make any rule that made you happy.
Here, though, this is Dr Bob's site, and therefore Dr Bob's rules. If we want to be here, we have to follow his rules -- very much in the same way we'd have to play by his rules if we were sitting in his living room.
