I believe that LUGNET should have this right as well. Almost every other
usergroup or discussion board I read has the ability to ban posts from users or
IPs. Administrators in some of these other boards do not seem to adhere to a
formal policy, however, and sometimes ban individuals for no apparent real
reason other than the administrator(s) don't like what was posted or the poster.
I believe the people on the transition team have shown themselves to be
concerned users of LUGNET, and have demonstrated over the years an appreciation
for our chosen hobby as well as what is best for this usergroup.
All the best with this ongoing endeavour known as LUGNET.
