I think that the vast majority of the 13,000 members are nice, civilised types - whether they are commanding B747s, C150s or just reading Flight International. It's the few nutters that seem to enjoy putting the boot in - for whatever personal reason - that need to have a code of conduct applied to them.
Now, in some cases, this is well merited as witnessed by our Wizard fom Oz - but in order to safeguard Danny and the boys, I think that anyone that wishes to post any 'beware' notices *must* also provide, publicly, their real identity and contact details. No details - the posting gets deleted.
It's a fine balancing act for the moderators to tread in identifying something that is malicious and libellous - and something which is of genuine, relevant interest to the readers. So far, I feel they havd done a great job!
