Is FHB planning on letting any of the banished back in to the forum?

<<BT has never had any real plan other than to let people interact and occasionally we pull out info to use in the mag. that might go away , btw, not b/c we don't value the advice, but page space.
>>
Some shivers there, too, most likely.

He doesn't mean the last and final wave, he means the 6-9 months of warning after warning, I bet.

Ok, @ calvin -- per above statement.
Everyone recognizes that BT has great info. I stupidly searched google for some info about poly iso and tyvek, and couldn't find a definitive answer. Then DUH!, I am the ME of FHB.com, and wouldn't you know, you all knew.
So those above me would like to see this info help others in other ways than list view.
Some ideas kicking around are giving people blogs on FHB.com, creating an ask the experts panel, and a few others with legs. I'm also open to suggestions.

Yes, I mean warnings prior to the big boot.

Ask the experts is a good idea. But you have to let Boss Hog back in. he's your truss man. =)

@ Eric_Paulson (and others, Like CAGIV who emailed me but I haven't received and answer from the tech group) -- Is FHB planning on letting any of the banished back in to the forum?
I'm not ruling it out. There may be a technical issue that people banned can't come back. I'm waiting to hear.
Mike Smith (I think, I received a lit of emails today) suggested an amnesty. I might consider a non-denominational-holiday present once some new ground rules are set.

@ SquarePeg -- what would like to see FROM US?
For one, posting within the rules (which I mentioned above will be amended with examples). You have to understand that a) I don't really care what you talk about, but it's not my private forum and BT draws attention. And when dozens of violations get reported, they don't go to me, they go to our customer service group, and then me. Capiche?

I just banned a poster in a forum of mine (powered by old prospero technology) and was able to uncheck "banned" and restore their privelidges with no damage to their history or username.

Fair nuff.
Would you like a team of volunteers from the regular posters to help tamp things down before they get to the Customer Service Team?
I bet you could get 5 or 6 guys to volunteer.

@ SquarePeg and All -- re: what do I want to see from you?
Honestly, that's it. Just keep it clean. Have fun. Don't draw undo attention that goes outside BT. And please realize that there are lots (I can't give out the number) of BT'rs and out of them, there are some way outside this group that come in and get booted. So please don't think this was just a Tavern bust, b/c we looked everything. Those people just went away.

I am going to go get a beer and then I'll tackle Piffin's diatribe. I guess this is the featured event?

Okay, now you're a group of one so far. 
I'm just watching, listening, reading, and lettin' it fall where it falls. It's my nature to call BS when I see it.
I don't have a dog in this fight. 'Cause I don't care about where my friends go - I just hate to see them split up by some outside influence or entity. I'll go where they go. When they don't want me around, I'll be happy for them still being free and together.

Why the silence on the BT forum? I, as a frequent lurker, was put off by what was perceived as arrogance from the staff. Obviously, the attraction of BT is for Joe Homeowner to go there and ask a question, no matter how elementry that question is, and get a rapid, informative and thorough response from someone that deals with that situation everyday. Yes they received some ribbing, but no one was ever flamed out of the post. Try that same question at JLC and see how much information that poster would get.

@ Mike Ryan -- agreed about the JLC bit. Nobody can ask anything there. But we don't define that BT draws Joe homeowner...in fact, we have no idea how people get there, but it's not google b/c BT as it is now isn't SEO optimized and doesn't get spidered well. Part of the reason we want to switch technology so these good discussions get found. Again, that's part of the moving stuff out of Breaktime quote above.
What I should really have said was make BT info more easily found, and that means better forums and other places for questions/comments/info sharing.

what is 'customer service group' code for?
what happens when someone reports a 'violation' at your forum?

I'm one of the guys who is completely in the dark as to why I got dumped from the Tavern.......but that's ok. too many rules will chase me away anyways.......
What I'm wondering is now that I can still get into the public threads I am seeing threads disappearing at an alarming rate. Non political/non religious...seemingly pretty innocent in content.
I have offered (for free) thirty five years of experience to your DIY types and enjoyed it.
What I don't enjoy is getting a decent thread pulled out from under me.....whats up with that?
