Eyes on or hands on? A discussion of human interference

[peter]

As simple as that.

But arguments, most unfortunately, quickly disappear when ego's take over. The most common result is a shoot-out. Then mods need to step in order to clean the room and warn those involved. As disputes erupted a bit too often in the last months, it was decided to add a few more rules.   

As for the comments you and PC added in the section on rules. Members usually get interested in rules after the event. Those involved usually don't think they apply to them. When addressed, they cry murder. PC has contributed to the forum and earned a lot of credit for this reason, but rules apply to all and there's no room with a view over here, let alone roomservice. I told Waves and I do not distinguish between members in this respect. If we forget about rules, chances are disputes will erupt and when that happens, problems need to be addressed. Not a nice job, I can tell you. It usually takes a long time to get the message across. I, by the way, agree debates are about opinions and using facts at the right time, but disagree with the way in which many evade the consequences.          

The aim of the forum is quality. In order to get there, we need rules, good moderation, skilled debaters and, above all, good members posting good info. I admit I like to read good posts every now and then. Talking about posting. I can't remember your contributions, Siegfried. This although you seem to know your business. I also noticed you pop up in the most unexpected places at the right moment. Interested in your response.
