Agree with this.

Neither.

Follow the D9 Forums' lead and nip all membership-related questions (including AI) in the bud or get rid of this forum completely.

Those are better suggestions.

Actually I was in favor of getting rid of the forum completely also . . so i agree with you. I don't think you can have the forum exist though and expect to be able to just terminate every thread. It would look kind of funny.

Agreed!

This would help how? It has nothing to do with who the mods are, it has to do with the point of the fourm in the first place.

Exactly. I have little to no problem with PT or Carnation. We see differently on some things. But, as long as the guano is kept under control, I'm good.

The point is more that all posts should be judged equally in ALL forums. The AI thing was only an EXAMPLE of a thread that ended up being deleted because it began to get heated. I see nothing wrong with lively debate. I highly encourage it. And, you should know that, James.

The part about AI has only been reposted because I was making a point to keep the original thread intact. Lest someone report it or try to delete it, I wanted to make sure that all reposts contained the original text for John to review.

i have been sitting on the sidelines (munching my popcorn). i have to say that i am amazed and impressed that this thread has finally evolved into a constructive discussion that makes valid points. i understand where you all are coming from now-frankly, i rarely venture into the ai forum myself, except when someone pm's me that a knock-down drag out is occuring. pm those valid point to john.
