One of the main reasons I keep coming back to NB (other than all the great information) is because I have not seen any posts like that made by the mods here. I really hope that NB remains an open-minded forum which doesn't restrict its members from speaking their mind on any thread/issue like it is now. If such mod posts start becoming neccessary, then that might be a sign that things are going in the wrong direction and the root cause should be addressed rather than using "warning" messages such as these.

This is all very true, but I still feel that some sort of distinction would greatly help viewers.

Anyways, it's not my board. I'm just merely stating my opinion on the matter.

I cannot imagine that this wouldn't be necessary. Would you rather the thread be closed or deleted without warning?

I just don't understand how gentle warnings (I never said anything about being rude, unwelcoming, or hostile) can be avoided for eternity. I'm not new to managing online communities, I cannot say I have ever been able to avoid these warnings. I'm not sure what an alternative action would be.

Our staff are still human and we have all the weaknesses common to the species.
