Thinking on the problem with the Mods. Just thoughts.
Individually I know I am not important to Taunton , cept maybe if I drop my subscription to their mag, and even that is just a minor annoyance if they can gain the control and direction of the forums in the manner they see fit.
Stop posting at BT and there will always be some other individual who knows more than I about any given subject matter to who will replace me. Posting there is 1/2 ego gratification, 1/2 desire to help on my part. Problem from their side it is 1/2 ego about not losing control of their site and 1/2 knowledge that those banned simply do not make up enough of a $ base to really worry about. (Gotta admit they warned us all) More than a few years back they outgrew their need for those who were the actual base of their mag and Bt and can now go on making their $ without those people.
Biggest issues I see: Knowing the attitude of the vast majority (The Lurkers). Without actively involving those individuals the "Banned" and their supporters will simply be ignored. Total lack of dialogue between the people running the site and the long time posters. Possible Solution? Pick one or two spokespersons from among the banned and supporters and try to establish dialogue.
But I am afraid that is gonna be like trying to talk to my ex when she was pissed. Ain't gonna happen.
