My donation is a pittance as donations go, but I hope it's a start.
Melissa, our moderator, informs us that making much needed reforms to BCOs automatic moderation features will cost the usual - time and money. Can't help with the time, but maybe a brass farthing here and there will come in handy.
May this fund help to create a place of safety and transparency for women and men who come here because of a grave illness and want to laugh and cry together about any topic under the sun in addition to cancer. May it be used to set up any such programming language, technology and personnel as might be needed to ensure that rules are clear, well understood and respected, that tolerance is shown and that self-policing features like the "Report this Post" buttom are employed wisely and not in the furtherance of abuse, bigotry, hatred and cyberbullying.
This forum belongs to all of us and it is what we make of it. Hopefully, we can help Melissa and others to create a system that is lightfooted but stealthy and simple but effective.

Welcome Sandy ... this is much better than housework for sure. Actually most anything and everything is better than housework IMHO 
Don't let this discussion topic scare you off. Since it was started we have gained 2 additional mods and they have taken control of the 'report this post' function which was causing most of the problems. Now those who report other member's posts without just cause are finding themselves suspended from access to that function. The mods are personally reviewing each and every reported post ... even the spam ones and letting all parties know exactly what is going on. Big improvement!
