Unfortunately that's not the case. There's one user who is incessantly flooding the forum with their "updated" and "closed" posts preventing discussion of any kind. Apparently their sole constant flooding is a substantial revenue generator for Ning hence why zero action has been taken to stop it and allow discussion.

Most mornings when I look at the Rant page it is filled with walters anti-American drivel.
Most of the posts he closes and then repeatedly replies to himself just to stay on top of the page.
I guess his grand scheme is to drive everyone away so he can see his name on every single post.
