Hi greengas

I have never even looked at the stockhouse forum,  I came here after seeing the press release about a new forum for Connacher. I do participate in other internet forums and I can imagine what one could degenerate into without rules and people to enforce the rules.

Of the six rules, the off topic rule is probably the one which will be most difficult to enforce effectively without angering the general membership.  Agoracom has given community leaders the power to enforce the rules and relies on your experience to enforce them for the good of the forum.  This trust also gives you  leeway in your interpretation and application of them. 

Have nice evening
