I fully agree. I changed my e-mail address to an account that I do not usually
use for sending e-mail. Why? Because I don't want to be spammed by some member
if things turns out wrong.

CCC has moderators, isn't that enough? I think so.

If you want to kill CCC: go ahead with this proposal. It really doesn't
solve the problems with harassments anyway. And you can always bann people
from posting with todays rules, can't you!?

Is there a possibility of letting Members read messages but not being
allowed to post at CCC? That could be a solution to the trouble makers
at CCC. But personally I think the issue is a minor one. After all, most
members here are discussing computer relevant issues :-)
