Czuch: private fellowships work differently from public boards. The BB of a f/s can only hide the posts from his view, but everyone else can see the posts.....on a public board, when a mod hides posts, only the mods can see it, not everyone else. You probably know this, I just mean to be helpful.
This may be obvious as well and not quite the point, but can't a BB just remove anyone from the fellowship that they want to? That way you don't have to worry about hides or bans...just remove them...A BB of a fellowship has a right to remove anyone they want from their fellowship
