Creating a negative environment doesn't mean that there's non-excellence going on. I mean if all your criteria is that you create an environment that pushes people away from communicating with each other, there's a lot of things that a re necessary to the proper functioning of our project that do that. The basis of hte current policy is non-excellence. If you want to also hall monitor redundant and repetivie posts or anything that creates a negative environment then please, write it into the policy so that we all know what to expect. -Toshio
