Although I agree that Posters are the bloodline to any websites succcess, one must look at what entitles someone to even by considered a Poster. I don't believe that just the act of registering a handle neccessarily makes one a Poster. I would consider someone that contributes to a forum constructively and with information beneficial to others as a poster. Some posters offer comical relief which is harmless and entertaining.
Unfortunately there are going to be others that time to time will use a forum as their own personal platform, whether it's a hidden agenda or a prejudice against an ethnic background. Such material initial illicits equally vulgar replies and in some cases results in fewer new posters. I believe that if not already established the RX must create a set of general guidelines or principle rules, break a rule with an offensive thread or reply and it should be deleted and the poster sent a warning, if he does it again then he should receive a vacation from the site and other posters should be informed of such.
Now I am not talking about eliminating Free Speech but even in a society where Free Speech is a right, we all should understand that some things are offensive and unacceptable, I don't think it would lead to bland or boring threads but just the opposite, with less flaming maybe the important and imformative material will finally make it to the top.
Just my opinion
