This is an open post to the administrator of the site. This site used to be a valuable tool for those of us in the theatre community to find useful information and share our thoughts with others. Of late, it has become a bitchfest. I would like to see posts retricted to signed up and verified members only. While this wouldn't stop completely the post hijacking that is currently destroying this site, it would mean that you would need to take the time to sign up a membership, which could subsequently be revoked if site rules are abused. Obviously this is not a panacea, but I think will help this site grow. I'm fed up with the crap! Jeff

What's obscene? You're

What's obscene? You're missing the point: sign up and moderate obscene posts down. If you go back and look at the longer threads, you'll find some of them have been moderated down. Even then, can we define what's obscene? Should we start labeling things as 'M 15+'? Besides, as Grant points out, there's just so many posts you can go through with a fine-tooth comb. Something that's obscene could be in context (quoting a play for instance, as part of a review) and perfectly acceptable. We can't train automatic computer screening of obscene words and make it context sensitive. Moppet eyes now on sale at Puppets in Melbourne
