I have mixed feelings on this one Bella.  I understand why you suggest it, but at the same time letting the predators run off at the mouth brings them right out into the light like the cockroaches they are.

Technically, the policy is already in place for both of your issues. Your option is to "report this post". Someone overseas can determine if the post should be deleted or not.  

The forums are no nicer nor are they meaner then in years past. The drama goes in cycles and many times surrounds an individual or two, (sound familiar?). It is was it is, and we are what we are, Bella. It's the nature of the beast.  

There is always Better Homes and Garden or The Disney Channel when the drama gets too much for you ;

a little drama always spices things up..being rude or slanderous is another thing entirely..suffice to say they keep a close watch on our activities..TER is a mini version of the movie " The Good..The Bad and The Ugly"..Admin is the Sheriff..

On many forums that I visit, comments can be removed if itvis not related to ths op, does't add to the conversation, or is blatent flaming.  
   
 Should TER adopt this mentality?

Ter should to those that slander using words  PIMP,PREDATOR & PEDOPHILE be required to submit documented proof & not from a provider ( they are in the business of lying ) and do so easily.
These words are.. as these providers & aliases know , the key words LE  look for as they visit our site!
The fact that one does not Hobby in a manner that pleases top board posters nor providers that may be competing for the  hobbyist  dollar , should not be an over riding reason to allow such slander IMHO.
This is a review site, if providers  wish to place a limit on either a hobbyist number of reviews,a dollar amount that hobbyist must adhere to , limit the number of post a hobbyist is allowed,designate whom a hobbyist is allowed to shill for,require that ALL hobbyist pay for every second they are with a provider,limit the number of TOFTT that is allowed,designate a tenure  situation, so that only those providers that have been on this site the  longest are the only ones allowed to receive reviews.
Lets see is that about how YOU view fairness?
To the Hobbyist out there ...I would only say once you enter this scenario ..it is a slippery slope & whether you like me ( & others ) or hate (seems to be so many.. too many that adhere to this emotion IMHO) me once the precedent is set that providers determine ANY parameters on our site ..your freedom to openly & honestly express your experiences to other members is GONE!!!!!

The boards have historically been a place where we all hide behind our perceived secret identity.  We relish the notion that we can spout off what we really think without having to risk much.  Drama is not so much the problem on the boards.  Its ok to argue, sometimes forcefully.  Where it gets out of whack is when folks violate the concept of personal attacks and go down that path just because they are not having much success in arguing their point on logic.  We all used to decry the assigned mods when our post got yanked, but hindsight is always valuable and looking back its clear the mods did a far better job than they got credit for.

The mods did a really good job. BTW, I am thinking about remodeling that woodshed. I have no idea why that old shed keeps popping up in my head, lol.

That I use (in conjunction with TER of course) when I travel there. The mods there take no shit whatsoever. It's like it's run by gestapo Mormons, you get slightly out of line, say something you shouldn't ( like too much detail) and they will edit your post or delete it and ban your ass for a day to a week to forever. And understand, you don't need a membership for the site and prostitution is pretty much legal there. Reviews are out in the open (to a degree)

Does it make it better.... Not really.  It's just different, a little less drama but also less fun. Sme of the posts around here are a source of entertainment sometimes
