I'll take a look around, I do know that it's addressed in XenForo 2; Might have been changed in Xenforo 1 and Just needs to be turned on

Not Correct. Timed Out User are Indicated by their username have a strike through line.

Human Immunodeficiency viruses, Types 1 and 2 (HIV 1,2) Antibody testing (1985) and NAT (1999)

Perhaps you should read the article and find out what they test for. We'll have to just agree to disagree.

The weird aspect of the policy is that they test the blood for HIV anyway among other things: https://www.redcrossblood.org/biomedical-services/blood-diagnostic-testing/blood-testing.html Can you say homophobia?

My first reaction was OMG that's a lot to process. But on 2nd and subsequent looks I noticed They use xenforo like we do, and At the bottom they went into a lot of detail of the warnings which would be a good starting point for our system. They define the various terms that they talk about Most of what they say make sense and applies to PR&W. When I have a chance I'll do an analysis and see how much of it is of use for us. I suspect that it'll affect both the manifesto for PR&W and Terms & Rules. However, the latter will require input from the administrators and moderators.

Posting off-topic is muddying the water and delaying a possible return of the PR&W forum. One of things I've noted while looking at the next version of Xenforo is that the Warning system was improved. I suspect that we'll be using it more and it can trigger temporary or permeant bans. BTW: Lots of goodies to share all around.

Some of those people are on time-out until the start of the year. A few have been timed-out permanently. Management has a policy of diversity and being a safe haven from abuse. That policy has been violated and this will not be allowed to continue. We either set some ground rules or we no longer will have that forum. So far little work has happened to discuss the ground rules that are needed. So I agree that better participants are needed right now.

Yes to "Fall Funds Drive", Yes to bandwidth, and Yes its off topic. One of the benefits of PR&W being disabled is that I've a lot more time to work with. Like upgrade this machine, load a test version of the next version of xenforo. You should see a system message show up to the effect shortly.

I don't believe so. I'm willing to have it pointed out.

@Keith30309 Love it, now turn it into a single simple line for the manifesto. Fouls Ratio would be a plugin. I'll keep an eye out while I'm doing the version testing.

Another important point: "No Name Calling." We're not going to bully other people by denigrating them.

Someone said: "Big Red Letters" at the top of the forum. We've done this before and it worked well. "Escort Travels" comes to mind. So let's work on that short, simple manifesto. For me the important point is centuries old: "Attack the message not the messenger."

I'm planning on taking Thanksgiving week off so that I can do a major upgrade of all of my systems. The To-Do list is about two dozen items One of the things I wanted to do was test-drive the next version of the forum software. The forum is actually a 3rd party product call XenForo which does offer a plugin system. We use some of the packages ("Thumps Up" is an example) and I want to make sure it works in the new version. The plugin to do what @Lookin suggested would take a immense amount of work to develop. So I'll look and see if somebody else has gone there first. Cost may be a factor. @Lookin thank-you for being the first with a concrete suggestion.

When you guys are done mourning the fraternity house that got closed for bullying, hazing, and hatred perhaps you should move on to how to clean it up. I'm not a Democrat, nor am I a Republican. Yet I have been bullied for my beliefs. It's somehow ironic that the person that has maintained the message-forum since the turn of the century is one of the victims. HooBoy wanted a Gentlemen's club. If we can not represent diversity and all of the different aspects of the LGTB community then why should we bother? We have a real enemies that are driving a lot of hate. We need to be united if we want to keep the rights that so many have battled for over the last 50 years. It's time to start working on the action plan that combats the problems Tulsi Gabbard talked about in her Dawali message in the first post. If this doesn't happen the PR&W forum will just silently slip away. The Grinch is showing up early this year. If you're not a part of the solution, then you're a part of the problem. If you misbehave, you'll be timed out until next year. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." --Martin Luther King, Jr.

It seems that several of the posters in that forum didn't take heed of the multiple warnings about attacking other members of the message forum. Any discussion in this thread must remain on topic and conducted in a civil manner. Violators will be ejected. The object is to update the Terms & Rules or create a manifest that specified the guidelines that are acceptable to the management.
