“more of presence” ?? Did you mean higher probability or something similar? If so... Not necessarily.

This actually makes no sense to me then (and yes, please bare with me, since I have 40 ounces of Bailey in me, being the New Year et al, plus the added affect of various “smokebles”..... )..... I have only one question then........ Why bother making a new post, getting a committee together, and all the freaking (can I say that?) hoopla, if its not going to have at least some minor, if not major impact on the posting procedure as we know it? Regardless, if I am for or against it, and in this state I’m not entirely sure, but surely there must be a point I am missing. Clarity is paramount, and I personally would like to know, why make this step if there is no concrete plan to actually make more “of a presence” or a higher probability if you so want to choose the wording, in “cracking down” with the ToS, or ToU, or whatever abbreviation is appropriate?

Sorry if my answer was a bit cryptic there!

What I am trying to say is that if the new policy means that people act more in accordance with the ToS than they have in the recent past, it may well be that no time outs are actually given out (that is, the power won’t need to be used), or at least not more than the average frequency in the past.

So I guess that means you’re hoping the “increased presence” is just making the policy more obvious to newbies and forgetfuls?
