Naming & Shaming

[chrissa1]

How about leaving the name of the poster in situ when a post is removed for being insulting, rude or deemed hurtful and unnecessary. Some Abers might think twice if they were going to be named and shamed.
Just a thought.

You're right B00, but my initial answer is relevant to that. Becuse I don't think anything should be removed.

Ed's house, Ed's rules. Anybody in a similar position, e.g. a pub landlord or a newspaper editor, would apply the same logic.

Otherwise you get into the position where a nasty minority can force the nicer majority to go elsewhere, leaving you with just - or mainly - the nasty minority. There are sites like that, but I guess Ed doesn't want this to be one of them ...

I'm on your side chrissa. However Spare Ed has in effect told me to keep my mouth shut on such matters.

LOL....

Has anyone really thought this through.

User A starts a thread.

User B posts on it, that post is removed for whatever reason, but the name of user B is left in place.

User A checks back on their thread, sees a post removed from user B so starts hounding user B asking them "what did you say that was removed"

Arguments ensue.

[ummmm]

Which is pretty much what I said....

You'd end up with a rake of posts asking people what they said...
