While I don't agree with the personal nature of the original post, he does make good points. Many of us inhabit many forums, and don't have time to frequent them all. It's your money and you can do what you want with the site, but both history and psychology show that negative reinforcement rarely achieves the desired result over the long term. You can ask the folks at PDABuzz about that, to mention a current example. They went from the #1PDA site in the country to barely 15 posts a day within six months. History can teach us some valuable lessons.
