Thanks for the good read.
We need a new video game, Wind Turbine Hero! For $175, you get a plastic lathe, make-believe welder and simulated rare-earth magnets and copper wire for PS3. Push the buttons just right on the plastic lathe and coil winder and compare your results against the OP boys. Videos on youtube: Five stars on expert wind turbine, twenty footer! check it out!
Here's the scary part. Alternative energy has gotten as popular as Guitar Hero lately and needs to be similarly moderated. Kind of makes me shake my head, since I play real music in real bars and I really support my family on off grid electricity.

I bet their noise level is essentially zero. It is the exact thing I hope we can avoid [high noise level].
We will never hit that level of gestapo tactics because DanB would fire me forthwith if I got that hardcore. And I need the money no matter how little it amounts to.
Cheers.

I will admit that example is somewhat extreme but I bet it works well.
I participate in a few forums in unrelated fields and very few allow much crap in. A couple are invite only, too. All expect you to do your own homework. I was judged too "nice" to admin on one, in fact. Go figure.
It is basically self preservation. You build a nice little community and the shear mass of popularity kills what you liked about it. Usually caused by those with no equity in the place who make the most noise, too. If you care should you just watch it happen so everyone gets to feel all warm and fuzzy or do you work to preserve what you helped build?
Anyway this is my "pet peeve" lately. I will shut up now.
I actually thought that rules page is a possible framework to work from, trimmed and toned down some. Very valid points in there between the threats of warp kill.

Not really sure what you mean?
It will not have a "Post Comment" button. If comments are already posted they will display but the post will be read only. I try to add "comments locked" to the note at the bottom. Other than that, I don't know what I could do that would make it more obvious that it is locked.
I am hoping that when folks see it happen a few times they will naturally post more coherent questions. At least I hope it works that way.
If I could, I would change the page that displays when you start to post a question to reference the why your story was locked page. Kind of preemptive thing. That will take ADMIN's attention to change so not much I can do. Plus this is still experimental.
OK, I see your point. Maybe "Locked" in the title?
I can try that easy enough.

I totally understood your angle there.
Questioning authority is good sometimes, also.
