Great ideas Robin. There will always be a few that will be resistant to having their material edited or receiving a ban vote. If you disagree that is fine but arguing when asked to stop something by the staff and/or attacking moderators will not be tolerated. Robin has asked us to do what is needed to keep the tone positive here on Pinside and that is what we intend to do.
We have a team that has contributed to this site for a long time and have made every effort to keep this a peaceful place for the community to discuss Pinball. We get just about no recognition for what we do so it makes it a little frustrating to see a few react negatively to our efforts but that is just the way it goes sometimes. I think it is important to remember we are all here because we love pinball. Pinsiders are a passionate group without a doubt the key is to try and respect our fellow posters and realize that we can disagree without taking things over the line.
