Just saw a IP addressed posted on another Harley board after a member engaged in a vile outburst of profanity. The list owner not only listed the member's IP address but the member's company Internet use policy that prohibited such postings. Thus, the member could be subject to discipline or discharge for inappropriate use of company equipment during the day. Did the list owner notify the member's company? No, of course not. Just the mere threat should bring the member back in line. Now, to the question of posting IP addresses, some members use their company equipment to access this and other sites during the day. Should they, no, but they do. Posting IP addresses will discourage people from posting during the work day.
I would suggest a quicker application of the "blocking" policy. Offensive/vulgar/threatening postings should NOT be permitted. A more stringent policy regarding offensive, vulgar, threatening messages should be applied. The messages should be deleted and the member posting them should be given ONE warning. Some boards don't even give a warning, the member is just deleted. I suggested a warning, then POOF--gone!!!
Members should be able to come here to have a good time and enjoy themselves. Without excessive (we are bikers <G>) vulgarity, threats, etc.
