Modified Guest Posting Policy
Greetings CPAPtalkers,
The lack of focus on support and helping your fellow CPAP (wo)man of late has caused me to take another measure I'd rather not take:
You are responsible for the spirit of what you post to CPAPtalk.com, as a guest or otherwise. Effective tomorrow and into the future, we're printing the names of registered users whose IPs match guest posts. For now, we're not printing the names of historical guest posts. If the name calling doesn't stop, we will.
This board is a place to give advice and encouragement to new CPAP users. How can a house divided send that message? Please remember when you arrived on CPAPtalk and how it made you feel. Please don't take that away from new arrivals.
Johnny

Amen! I have read a post that seemed to express some concern about, and expressed almost disdain about people that made a post to just hear themselves. My observation is that there is a reason for any post. Maybe, just maybe we can just be a little helpful. Possibly we could even think that everyone here is a friend.

Thanks Johnny,
You are right to take a stand for the good and continued success of the forum which has helped so many that have been lucky enough to find it.

Johnny, don't forget that even the best of families have quarrels now and then! But things work out, especially with a fair, guiding hand at the head of the family!
Thanks for a great forum!

bad idea
You might have good intentions, but what a bad way to show it! You have rules that you refuse to enforse, and you have the ability to stop this. Instead you choose to try to publicly humiliate people into behaving. This is a very childish response to a problem you refuse to handle.

"Outing" pretend guests
Mixed emotions about this. But I guess for the once in a gazillion posts when a registered user might feel a legitimate need to speak anonymously - oh well. Nothing to hide - nothing to fear. My first thought at the mention of ever printing the names of registered users whose IP address matched historical guest posts was to say - sell tickets, and I want one in the front row. But that base thought was quickly overridden with the realization that I'd rather not know, and just move on from here. Hope it can stay that way, but if not, I can live with having my bubble burst. Thanks for taking a stand to preserve the integrity of this forum and its mission.
Kathy
