Boys & girls, you have now officially exceeded this year's quota for discussions of the following topics:

1. Foxtrot timing
2. Static/dynamic balance
3. Body makes the feet move
(We GET it already)

Find something else to talk about. This means YOU, Quickstep and Anymouse.

This is a moderated message board and we reserve the right to control the discussion in any way we see fit. Don't like it? Go somewhere else. There are innumerable UNmoderated dance-related message boards out there to choose from.

Any more messages posted relating to the aforementioned topics will be immediately deleted. This rule will stay in effect until such time as sufficient discussion has occurred in every other possible area of partner dancing to balance it out. Don't hold your breath... that might take anywhere from a couple of months to a couple of years.

Exceptions will be made for official website admins and forum moderators, who may speak about whataver they wish. "Newbies" are also exempt, since they presumably don't know any better, and may genuinely be interested in understanding one of these concepts.

This message board will be closely monitored over the next couple of months. Any registered user who makes continuous and persistent attempts to break this rule will have his account suspended indefinitely. Anybody suspected of impersonating a newbie to open up further discussions of these temporarily banned topics will have his IP address blacklisted.

This rule is non-negotiable and is in effect immediately. Consider yourself warned.

Regards,
The Ballroomdancers.com Staff

I stand up and cheer you for this. Let's hope they pay attention like good little boys and girls.

I think he is saying, they have no choice, because he will delete the post. Since this control has started, I have noticed the volume of real questions and answers picking up.

There are a lot of people with a lot to share on this forum and I think this will make it much more effective.

At first glance it appears that way, which would be a pleasant surrise. I had fully anticipated a temporary lull in activity, as the huge void left behind by the monopolizers slowly filled in by others. I'm still not convinced we haven't just seen an unusually good day, and a lull is still in the cards, but time will tell. At any rate, it was the right thing to do. I'll gladly accept any lull that comes in exchange for balance.

Regards,
Jonathan

Jonathan,

Any thoughts after your own dose of "Quickstep" in the spin turn thread?

Whatever... My biggest concern is that I see a front page once again dominated by two names, with little participation from anyone else. So as soon as I get a spare moment, I will surpress the topics and add them to the ban list.

Which will accomplish nothing in the long run...

What I was rather hoping you'd see from the responses to your own posts on the spin turn, was that there's just no reasoning against illogical arguments.

Thank you!
