Default Re: Moratorium on the Political Thread

I'm new, but I ventured over there.
Neighbors are just unbelievably mean spirited there. not everyone, some post intelligent, balanced, thought provoking posts.....but some are rabidly attacking others. It shows a side of The Villages I hoped and never thought existed.

I don't know what the answer is, but I'm a moderator on another BIG forum, and we there have a "Terms of Service". It outlines common sense rules. If someone violates those rules, Mods can delete a post, delete a thread, close a thread for a time, violate the poster and "ban" then for so many days, or even permanently.
Yes, it has the result of being a bit less free, but every river needs banks or else you have a flood. Some people just cannot "play by the rules", and sadly must be policed for the betterment of all.

It is amazing how some can be so bold and rude hiding behind a monitor...they (I think) would never be that way face to face.

With most here actually knowing each other and being neighbors, it adds even MORE concern.

Do you have "Mods" here ??
