Emery,
Since you chose to make this issue public, I'll respond publicly. Club
representatives are expected to abide by the same rules as every else.
They're posted for all to read at:
http://gmcnet.org/gmcnetguidelines.html
In my opinion, Ms. Weeks posts were excessive in promoting GMCMI and it's
products. In addition, her use of poor "nettiquette" by posting in all
caps - apparently to draw additional attention to her posts, exacerbated
this. I would note that this was not an issue with previous GMCMI
administrators, including yourself.
I've often used the moderation option to "cool down" contributors and that
is the current situation with Ms. Weeks. This forum does not belong to
GMCMI, but exists for the benefit of all owners and wannabees. It is
operated almost solely at my expense and as such, is a "benevolent
dictatorship".
