It's been a while since there's been any kind of air-clearing around here, so I'll make a brief 'policy statement'...

There are terms of service outlined on the forum, and about 99.8% of the time they are followed. For the most part, the forum hasn't even needed moderation for ages. That in itself is remarkable considering we have a community of more than 900 Derby Trailers visiting here over any 72 hour period, and is thanks largely to the tone set early on when pais was serving as the invaluable reine-de-course.

While I wish I could, I cannot read every post. If I delete something, it is usually a post or posts that I interpret as mean-spirited or ill-advised. I cannot catch everything and I don't believe there is a more relaxed policy, in a forum of this type, towards members occasional inappropriate conduct. I do the best I can while watching over the board largely alone. As I've said before though, this isn't a public trust. I like to think I've operated this site in an even-handed manner. If someone doesn't think so, I'm sorry.

As was originally suggested in 2005, I expect DTers to treat each other as if they were sitting together at a picnic table in the Saratoga backyard. And I'm confident that anyone who has been around me by the Barbecue at Saratoga knows how I try to treat my guests. Everyone here has something to contribute to the ongoing party. I do my best to maintain the atmosphere, but I'd like to think everyone knows how to conduct themselves and treat their fellow guests.

It is difficult for me to gain and maintain any attention when our caped crusader is busy keeping the threads safe for all horse lovers.
