Paul,

For a non-official forum like the present one, what you said is quite okay.

It is a different matter, if the forum is held by the school itself and (to a lesser extent) the PSA.

You can't imagine how terrible those messages were... attacking the school and the teachers maliciously.

That's why 6 years ago I closed down the web forum in www.wahyan.edu.hk which was maintained by me at that time.

I didn't want the reputation of our mother school be tainted.

Ashley,

Yes, I totally agree with you. An formal open forum faces a lot of problems, and there is always a conflict between user-friendliness and security.

On the other hand, a private forum like ours, which is not open to the public world, is muh more easy to handle.

I didn't know that your experience was that bad. Maybe it's time we think ahead before it turns havoc. Or maybe this being such a narrowly curculated forum, purity is easier to maintain. Actually I don't mind a certain degree of Ma Lut Lo talk with no evil intent.
