Hi everybody,

I've noticed some of our new members have been taking off the gloves. So to speak, and things have been getting...shall we say...heated, ugly.

At what point do we, the members ask for a moderator. Or give suggestions on what to add to the forum exsisting rules. Amin. owns and runs this site. I'm guessing he doesn't want to "Have to step in" and bust those folks who forget to be civil and border on verbal threats.

Or those folks who repeatedly get off topic, to insert a post, that leads back to another topic...that folks are tired of:)

Are there any concerns about kids visiting our sites? Some of the stuff they may read? I don't know...most of us are adults...or close to it. But I was surprised to click on a link that someone posted...when I got to the other site...every foul word you could think of was posted.

I was enlightened by the post that one of our users is using a signature that is considered racial insult. Didn't know that...didn't really want to know it. I'm a mom so I always think about the kids and what they may read.

I think we should discuss the idea of moderators and rules. It is unreal to think there is a place in this world with no rules. I like rules. Keeps people civil.
