Eh? I don't think I can believe you mean that - you would reject
postings from anyone unless they regularly make postings on a topic
about which they are clueless or have nothing to bring to the
discussion?

We don't want anyone here who only speaks when they know the answer,
nosiree.


If you must have moderation, have:

1: no personal abuse of anyone living



"Doug you are moron!"

"You are a closet motorist!"

"Dugh's right"


Which of the above are "personal abuse"?


The second and third, because Doug uses the second as abuse towards other
people and the third is a phrase that would never be used by reasonable
people. For the avoidance of doubt, the first is a statement of fact.
