Thank you for the input so far. I appreciate your thoughts.
Steven, You always come forward with thought insight. I have pondered a longer list of rules but find I am unable to think up how many ways people can be rude and thoughtless.
Dennis' suggestion: If you have to ask "Is it appropriate" it probably isn't.
Comes as close to simple and concise as can be. I have tried to keep the parameters here as simple a as possible. Dennis' wording works for me.
The membership registration provides this:
In your use of these forums, you agree that you will not post any information which is vulgar, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented, or violates any laws.
Which should suffice if people paid attention but they don't. Some seem to be rather naturally civil and others simply aren't quite sure of the concept.
The forum opening page state this:
Note: National and world politics are not allowed. Local,
Hawaii County and State of Hawaii politics are allowed.
There is a reason this is called Punaweb and not Americaweb or whattheheckweb. This site was and is intended for Puna and it's place in Hawaii.
For kimo wires:
I understand that it is not enjoyable to have a post removed. The notice you received was merely official notice of an action. Your post was preserved. No reprimand was made or implied. If you want your post back I will send it to you. It was a simple post like many that would divert the energy of Punaweb into other diverse directions. It wasn't offensive or abusive, it was just not Puna.
Considering the capacity and variety of the world wide web I do not think it too demanding that Puna have a site focused on itself. If that is not sufficient for you then there isn't much I can do. You have made good contributions here and I am confident you will continue to do so. If you so choose.
To everyone I still invite questions and dialogue.
