We have our rules and stick with them. We try to be fair and politely remind people if they step out of line about the rules. Either they normally accept or clear off. I agree with Di, I think it is time to say goodbye to that member.

Sissie I must have been replying at the same time as you. I think that is a good idea and very fair indeed.

However, how many chances do you give people? What if they agree to play nice and for several months, they do. Then its back to the same old thing. Then you toss them in that group again, giving them another chance. Personally, I dont know the reason why that particular person has decided to stick around and NOT post. I guess Im just suspicious in nature. Is another person copying and pasting things to this person that you might not know about?

IF and ONLY if they were to be let back on the board their activity would have to start RIGHT AWAY...if not  they are poofed for good !!!IF they were let back on the boards and started crap again they would be banned for good with NO possible return... one trip to Non Active is all you get!! i do not believe this person would copy and paste.. and try to do anything... we have to much on her that she has posted about herself and problems... so we would have the amo to fire back..NOT that we would but just to know we have our butts covered as well... i personally think this person will walk away and be bitter at Admin as she already is ...... but thats ok...

I try not to get too involved with members that break the rules. They get a warning from me as a last resort as I believe everyone deserves a second chance. If they ignore the warning they get moved to a "Temporarily Suspended" group for a while, either that or just banned. I've only had to ban a couple of people and a ban is permanent in my view. A puppy is not just for Christmas and all that. ;-)

Twice in three years is very good, although I know it can ruin your day (or several days) having to deal with it.

That's a great smilie. The most recent problem with two members having a go at one another we managed to fix without banning anyone, but I must admit I had that sick to the stomach feeling for the few days it was going on. I thought that pushing almost 50 YO would make me immune to all that, but I'm afraid not and it was almost enough to drive me to drink.

Interesting thread, since all of us know being an admin is hard work. I rarely give "warnings". The exception is brand-new members who I sometimes will direct to my "What's Not Allowed" thread. If they're not brand-new, and break one of them - they're gone. My list BTW reads as follows: There are very few "rules" for this board. We intend to keep it that way as much as possible. We have sections for Civil War talk and places for other stuff. We want this to be a little more than a "Civil War Discussion Board" - we'd like it to be more like a community center. Having said that, here are some things we don't allow, including:

§issie wrote: how do you handle or do you let is slide ??? A different perspective... Here's what I don't get - why you think there is an issue. The person has not posted in four months - has not caused any issues - so where's the problem? I know a lot of people who go underground like that for whatever reason but they still like to keep up with the community- so they just read. Heck, I do that.  Maybe they realized they blew it big time and are ashamed or maybe they realized that it's just an internet forum and it should not get one so tore up they lose it. Who knows? But until they screw up or break the rules again - my vote is to leave it be.  JMHO.Since my board is private it is a full blown riot fest. Folks bicker - they have to work it out. They are self moderated. They can cuss and scream and cry and talk dirt - whatever they want. It's amazing to me how well it has all gone. I do not interfere unless they talk bad about Brad Pitt.
