    Exclamation New covid section Rules- Read Above Sticky

    . . As you all know this section for Covid has been a hotbed of arguments and politics.

    After some conversation the Site Team has agreed things in the Covid forum have to change. Things will change starting now.

    A new set of rules will be stuck to the top shortly. The rules will be enforced with no warnings or explanation when a post is deleted. It is suggested when the new rule post is stuck to the top you read them and know this will be a no tolerance zone.

    The biggest change is posts made here will be camping/RVing based related to how covid enters the equasion. Those who want to chit chat about other aspects of covid can find a place elsewhere on line.

    Sounds reasonable.

    Will old threads be locked? Deleted? Subject to new rules only? Sent to me for expert moderation?

    If the old thread is not camping related it will most likely be deleted. This is being done as a site team effort so , we will make a decision as a team if there is a post that may be beneficial to keep around. If that is the case it will remain but locked from further discussion.

    On second thought, I think I would rather get sucked out of an airplane toilet than moderate anything COVID-related.

    I've been a Super Moderator on a long running motorcycle forum since mid 2013 and when the forum was established a few months before that, the management/Admins made rules regarding no discussion of politics and religion. When I started as a moderator, one of my jobs of course was to enforce that policy. I took a firm, but fair stance when dealing with that issue and drew some heat from a few/several of the folks on there about "Hey, we have freedom of speech in this country, you can't do that. I clearly explained that it was a privately owned forum and the management/owners had full rights to decide what content could or could not be discussed or even posted on there. It took some time and several bans, ranging from a few days to permanent bans for the repeat offenders, but it is, and has been solidly under control for several years. Managing/moderating a forum certainly involves some work, but honestly, once the ground rules were laid...AND enforced, it has become a pretty easy job to do. The thing that keeps me the busiest on there now, is either approving or not, new member signups. We have pretty good spam controls in place, as well as software that usually catches someone trying to sign up under a different name if they have been banned, so it's usually fairly easy to keep up with.

    I'll say one thing for sure, it gives you a new appreciation for the folks that moderate forums and try to keep things in order and running smoothly. So hats off to the mod. staff on this one....great job!

    Thank you. There are real world problems but the impact on camping/RVing is what I would want to understand because it directly impacts what I plan to do.

    New rules posted ==> p l e a s e - r e a d

    I just posted the new rules and the reasons we are doing this.

    All the posts older than 3 or 4 month have been locked.

    Marcy will be reviewing the remaining open posts and will be closing anything not in line with the new rules.

    Thanks to those who have sent us their support!!!
