We feel your pain ...
I'd like to keep things simpler as we move on. I'm wondering how this will affect new posts (it's always about me you know  ), as you just are not going to be able to moderate and read a pile of new posts and suggest modifications. Perhaps a form that guides posters in the construction of a thread?
Note: all fields must be filled out: TITLE: . . . (limit 40 characters) . . . . . . . Keep it simple and related to the purpose of the thread. FORUM: . . . (pull down menu) . . . . . . . Choose the forum for the thread to appear in. PURPOSE: . . . (limit 200 characters) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . NOTE: this will be posted above the reply windows to remind everyone of the topic when posting. Example: . The purpose of this thread is to discuss the mechanisms of evolution that cause diversity within populations. THE ARGUMENT: . . . (limit 8000 characters) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Hint: use a word processor or text writing program to compose your message. Check for spelling, grammar and paragraph before submitting.
. . . . . . You could also just close down new posts for a week or two.
This discussion board is focused on the creation/evolution debate. Other topics are fine in the appropriate forums, even gay issues I guess, but policing them will not be a moderator priority. It's a matter of where you want to spend your energy. You may want to look at having two basic areas, (1) Evolution and Creationism topics and (2) Social Issues. Perhaps trim back some of the forums that don't focus on the creation/evolution debate. I look at "Social and Religious Issues" forums
And only see three that could be moved up to a "Evolution, ID, Science and Creationism Forums" (monitored) as could
while moving
Down to "Social Issue Forums" -- which you could then leave unmonitored. You may even want to add some "Social Issue Forums"
And just let anarchy rein on those threads. No moderation, no complaints. That should last you all weekend ... Enjoy. ps - I really like this site and think it is one of the best around. we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmericanOZen[Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

Yep. Change comes from within.
and now you're suggesting a limit to the size of PNTs? I'm just incorporating the impression I have gotten from several recent PNT's that are not promoted. I can complain or comply, and one is realistic. (and now that it was reopened it has been edited and promoted) Enjoy.
