Hi Goathouse. I'd like to let you know your concerns about the Forum images have not gone unnoticed. I did not arrive at the wiki until after 2 posts were removed from a thread and a Wall post had been removed. It was my intent to delete the image from the database, so it could not be used again. First I had to remove the link from the removed post so theimage would not show as a wanted image. After removing the link I found that another Admin had in fact deleted the image from the database and another post from the thread. The post was in reference to the image and the response to it. I've double checked and all posts referencing the image have been removed. This is all in the History of the thread.

As an Admin, I have learned that Admins, if friendly with members can give the impression of favoritism or nepotism and see your concern. This is something that this wiki has had to deal with for a long time. Also, an Admin must be equitable. Is still have much to learn.

In the case of an offensive image or post, IMO, if any member is offended or sees where a discussion is getting out of hand, they should contact an Admin or Admins on the the Admins wall. My policy going forward is to remove the image and any posts referring to it. It doesn't matter who the member is. This is the only way I can think of to act equitably in these situations. The wiki needs to have some harmony. Harmony meaning, we need to be able to get a long with each other. But it will mean that many topics are or will not be appropriate here. Some may see this as censorship but my role is to think about the harmony of the wiki.

All of us would like to come here and have a good time. I would like to see that for you as well.

Please read my drafted guidelines, I have drafted them with your concerns in mind. I would like to leave some room for members to have fun and not create a lot of restrictions.

My wall is always open for members concerns.
