Over at
FFF we have a dark room forum where we keep EVERY post & thread ever made -- even the ones that are editted for content by the staff and those that are deleted ... they are not really deleted but just moved into the dark room out of public view. The same holds true for posts that are editted by the staff -- before they do any edits, they make a copy of the post and place it in the dark room. In this way, we have an original copy of what a trouble maker was saying and we don't have to rely on memory down the road if a banned member wishes to be re-instated -- we have to offenses right in front up us as if it happened today.
Just something you may want to think about doing here if you think there is some benefit to it.
We also have a mud room (
members need to ask for a key to get in) which is basicly a free-for-all. Trouble makers can go in there and rant all they want. If regular members want to go in there and get dirty, that's their option but it stays off of the main board and out of public view.
