I think your absolutely right Ginger however, I think maybe the second poster or relay it correctly. No, there is no way for you to monitor and determine those there to help not to mention it would be playing God. I think what they were asking for is a board where pehaps registration is required, no real verification (object being no guest post), then when registering maybe a note on the purpose of the board that its there for the help of survivors or however it would be put. Then leave the rest to the survivors and those survivors posting there if things got ugly could post replies saying that you know this or that is not helpful. The idea being that those registering would know that , that board is there to help the survivors deal with stuff, so only those that really want a place to talk or whatever have it and they have the backing of the other survivors / posters. I think the survivors should take "monitoring" part of it although i know to set one up you have to name an administrator.
Asking you to be judge, jury is not only unrealistic as you say but impossiable. I think they are just asking for another board where survivors can go where the atmosphere is a bit different.
You may be right that it may turn out just like another bar but then again , maybe not.You know i don't support clique's. We are all at different stages of getting over what happened to us. I think the other poster is asking for a board that the survivors monitor where someone can go where attacks won't really be supported by those on that board, does that make sense. I am finding it hard to describe what i think that poster is asking for and keep in mind I could be wrong about what they want.
Ginger , they are not words of kindness but words of truth and I mean that. We all need each other when it comes to dealing with Straight and you should be given kudos for all your efforts because you didnt have to do it, you didnt have to care, the same is true of Richard, Mike, Sammy etc . I think people should be know your efforts, I think survivors should know you care. I also think you deserve credit for all you have done. I have seen many get angry at you , me, richard other survivors but I am of the opinion that if those "angry" people got to know those they attack they might feel differently. You have been threatned with lawsuits and fought back and kept fornits up, which is why we are even able to discuss this, you have paid for alot of webspace and helped Wes with his site. That is something i respect alot. I have lost it on the board before because I am human but that is not my total make up. I think we as survivors should stress the good in our fellow survivors and not so much on the negative or what we disagree with it.
Anyway, if the second poster elaborates on what they want maybe that would help.
