Suspensions and Bannings Part III

To Archaeologist:First of all, please see Admin's message here. He is much better and more eloquent at outlining situations.The messages I cite in my previous message vary in quality (of course, this is a IMHO). At least one is pretty good but overall things were looking pretty poor.An eternal problem at this forum is dog piling on the creationist. It is very tough for moderators to control - About all we can do is ask those of the evolution side to have some restraint, and they tend to be pretty poor at restraint. The only really solid way to deal with dog piling is the "Great Debate" forum. The there debate is rigidly defined to be between two (or occasionally more) specific individuals. Non-specified contributor messages are very subject to ruthless content deletion.Last night, at the suspension time, I was at a loss to explain what was happening, other than that it was a bad thing. My thoughts now, are that the load of replies to you was essentially triggering a panicked response mode - Something like, you felt the need to put out responses that you were not ready to do. In a sense, I suspended you to protect you from yourself.So, take it easy - A few selective higher quality responses are far more impressive than many low quality responses.The suspension will be lifted right after I post this message. I sort of have the attitude that it's always an option to shortening a too long suspension. Or something like that.Adminnemooseus

The suspension hovertext message: I started at the current topic end (message 129) hiding blather messages. As I moved upthread they just kept showing up.Nuimshaan, after your 24 hour suspension is up, if and when you post again, please try to give us a hint that you have a clue of what a topic theme is.Adminnemooseus
