> Scott,
> You wrote,[...interesting ideas,Lou..practicable?..symbol..a form of editing...]. A symbol to show caution could be implemented here, as a symbol to show that a poster is a new member has a symbol to show that. A red or orange symbol could be used instead of the hand symbol. Other symbols could be used also.
> An edit could be of many natures. But the caution symbol is to indicate, not to delete or modify the words in a statement. An administrative note could also be posted, which is another form of editing. But the administrative note,{please be civil} is also an edit. Could not an administrative note that could caution about the dangers of a post's statement be at least just as important and relevant here as the {please be civil} edit?
I am currently against the idea of "flagging" posts in the manner you suggest. However, I would be interested to know what others think.
