I agree with nroscoe. I think it is a real shame that, once again, we have a new Talkboard member unable to fulfill his obligations because of being suspended. Personally, I think guidelines should be set to exclude any member who has had a 30 day suspension from even running for office. This would also include those who have been reinstated after permenant bans. If they are unable to vote on issues, their platforms become meaningless and they are not really representing those who voted forum.
