Actually Scott I think I like Bill's idea. I liked the design of your new board you sent me but realized it might be too much trouble and time to go switching back and forth between forums. At least for me.
I like the members idea, but again if you use different platforms like I sometimes do (library-coffe shop etc.) it might be a little difficult, unless we have a logon. Even Bill's fruitcake section might be a good idea of sorts. I know James Randi has a link to a flame board (or maybe it's his), and spammers could always be directed there to get out hostilities.(Hopefully this would happen only rarely) Could tell you something about the type of people that are members by the quality of their messages as well. But again that's getting away from the true intent of your board, and you may not want to do that. Or...as moderator you could keep everything open as is, and any irreverent spam material could be sent by you to a "garbage" section of your site where everyone can see. That would ...be interesting to see.
