Hi Peter,
I understand you. Also in the BOBJ area I have encountered this - using SCN for support as the customer base is not integrated there and public information is wanted.
Perhaps a better option would have been to use SCN in addition to references to KBA, and moderate comments and take them offline.
I moderate the security forum. If folks try to use SCN to report vulnerabilities, then we deal with it the same way by moderating it as it not the correct place to publish solvable problems which still need a solution. There are several discussions about how to deal with public disclosure of information.
Perhaps you should just co-ordinate with the moderators of the scape you are posting in - or request moderator access to it and deal with the unlikely event of the cabin loosing air pressure if it happens on a case by case basis.
When screen personas takes off, you should have that moderation inplace anyway (my opinion), otherwise your space will be flooded by noise about what a persona is...
As John mentioned, I can highly recommend contacting Marylin Pratt. She is very good at dealing with these sorts of things and helping you to moderate your own space.
But SCN Coffee Corner has some "poetic license" - rants and sarcasm is allowed.
Cheers,
Julius
