Well Dean C
Let me start off by saying that calmness, is always within me

I have read your post and I completely understand your take on the situation.
I am somewhat disappointed that vb.org was not able to find a more harmonious
solution to this problem, perhaps where we could avoid taking away from the
none abusive members in response to the less respectful.

Despite this discomfort, I still consider this forum a very valuable resource for vbulletin
addons and support, but also feel this feature has taken the shine off having open
conversations in certain areas.

I still see room to further customize for this hack where you might achieve
the same results without compromising on the useful discussion features for
those who do not abuse the system.
