As most of you know, I haven't had the time to participate in or monitor 4um as I once did. That's not going to change. I will not be able to read every post every day. Truthfully, when I created this forum, it was never my intention to be a heavy handed administrator and it was always my hope that participants appreciate that, respect it, and, thereby, exercise self control.

For the most part, that has been the case--until lately.

The animosity and incivility and accusations displayed towards one another has become almost intolerable to me. It's caused me to feel ashamed that I am the owner of this forum. I am actually considering pulling the plug as I cannot see any value in letting this continue.

I would like to know your thoughts and opinions. Subscribe to *4um Admin News*

You could let someone you trust who has time and wouldn't mind moderating it do it instead of pulling the plug. You are not responsible for what others post so you shouldn't be ashamed, people that post inappropriate stuff should be ashamed.

Is there a way to add Off-Topic and "Mudslinging" vote counters instead, so that you won't have to be bothered with PMs about that -- just look at those numbers for troublespot escalations? At LibertyForum, if a thread went off topic, the part that did was sometimes moved to its own thread. Bickering to excess was, iirc, sometimes moved to a "Cage-Match" subsection off the main board so as not to clutter up the Latest Comments area. Temporary time-out suspensions rather than banishment without reprieve might be something that could be an incentive for more civility. Would be a better alternative, imo, than Freedom4um being closed down or entrusted to other controllers (as LibertyForum was) who might abuse their moderator and database access powers or be motivated to cause other mischief here: using multiple screen names for deceptive baiting and such, for example.

Edited a typo.

There's always the Bozo Filter List in Setup, and there's the Ignore Thread on each new post which I use liberally when fellow members go 'round the bend on each other.

As invaluable as is my time, it's worth more than that.
