Cranks and meth drinkers on GD

[Larry1990]

There seems to be several prolific cranks on here of late. Might it not be a terrible idea to put in some kind of checking so that anyone who never makes any kind DIY/trade posts gets deleted?

Just a thought and thanks to all those who post useful stuff, this forum has been immensely helpful to me of late.

Surely this post should be moved to the ‘what are you drinking tonight ‘ thread

I resent that, I like fruit cakes.

How long does a crank have to apprentice for on GD before they can call themselves a time-served fruitcake...

 

[Hairymelon]

About 2 years. When did you join ?

Like it or lump it, there is no requirement to post DIY stuff in order to be allowed to post on GD.

Except why visit a DIY site with no interest in DIY? Granted cranks, fruitcakes, griefers and Troglodytes may not follow logic, but there are plenty of general gassing forums available.

I personally think there should be. Plenty of forums don't allow you to post in certain sections until you've been a member for a certain amount of time and/or you've made a certain number of meaningful posts. People that sign up to a DIY forum solely to make non-diy posts are generally argumentative trolls.
