Personally, I feel that a more than adequate job has been accomplished with the current method of blocking. Those that continually receive longer block after blocks seem to have a history of "Potentially inflammatory" or pretty harmful posts. A person can usually go back in the threads and see evidence of warnings.

At times, I have wondered about some blocks too. I don't always necessarily agree with the block, but I have just stated that and let it go. On the other hand, I have even felt that someone's post was harmful and found out there could be another interpretation or perfectly acceptable explanation of a post I felt was dangerous. (Usually, containing comments about suicide.) Sometimes there is an explanation or comment that presents the "thought" in a light that I had never considered. To me that is the value of having a professional monitor the board. Dr. Bob has training that I definitely do not have and his exposure to mental illnesses gives him a much greater perspective re postings than I have. (Once again, I offer you my thanks, Dr. Bob. I know this board and the people here who care so much and listen, frequently to the same thing over and over without ever giving up on anyone, has had a direct influence on my being alive today!!)

I wonder if you have some particular event or person in mind that is making you curious and hopeful about changing the system.

With so many people of different bckgrounds and philosophies of life as well as often not thinking as well as they might were they not ill, it must be extremely difficult to monitor for civility.
