If so, I would appreciate that there could be moderation to posts of the nature in question and feel safer here knowing that a post could be adressed inyour absence.
> Lou PilderDR, Hsiung,
In relation to my request to you to establish a procedure that one could put a halt on a thread when you are not available , I think that if this could be done that those posters that wanted to not have a halt on the thread could start a new thread and continue with what ever was the topic. The original thread then could be reopened when you return to the monotoring of the board.
It could work something like this:
A poster does not want a thread to continue and posts something like:{...Please do not continue responding to this thread}.
At that point, if you approve of this, no one is to post on that thread, but they can start a new thread. When you return to monotoring the board, you either lift the halt or affirm it. If you lift the halt, then there could be a discussion as to the merits of whatever the thread and its reason to have the halt
I feel that this could be a supportive procedure to use if:
A. The poster emails or posts on the administrative board a request for you to intercede in a post and , let's say 12 hours lapses and you do not respond.
B. There is {reasonable cause} to invoke the halt
C. No other poster has responded to show that what is posted could be considered to be unacceptable in relation to the guidlines of the forum.
