Time Out

Alexander Hayes, Weblog, Feb 06, 2007

Um... one wonders what to make of this. In EDNA groups recently: "As requested by our members we have now set up a 'Time Out' area..." Yes, this appears to be serious. Now I certainly understand why it has been done - I've seen examples of rude behaviour in the forums. What I wonder is whether this is an artifact of the forums being locked behind a subscription wall. And I wonder whether there's a better approach (and to be honest, having dealt with very toxic presences in forums over the years, I'm not sure there is).
