Not completely true.... Marc apparently was banned for questioning rules of moderation on a forum original created for people who didn't want moderation (DMCnews) and freedom to discuss all topics. Hence, Mark being banned and not being allowed to discuss his view on the rules (or other topics) leads right back to the same issue: Is Moderation required - yes or no? If the members of the forum are allowed to vote, and the poll is in favor of no moderation on messages...why not let it through, and only moderate memberships to prevent spamming bots?

The issue here was not "moderation" - it was Marc Levy's continued violation of the very few rules we have in this forum. The events and rationales leading up to this decision have already been posted previously. -Dave ________________________________ From: DMCForum@yahoogroup <mailto:DMCForum%40yahoogroups.com> s.com [mailto:DMCForum@yahoogroup <mailto:DMCForum%40yahoogroups.com> s.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 1:25 PM To: DMCForum@yahoogroup <mailto:DMCForum%40yahoogroups.com> s.com Subject: [DMCForum] New poll for DMCForum Enter your vote today!
