I hope they have read my thread wishing them all of the best. They really do a good job and people are so thankless.

In other forums, a new poster's first few posts are held, for moderation, before release. That prevents the floods of ads which this forum regularly suffers, and any poster's posts, can be put back on moderation review at any time should they break the rules.



Most well moderated forums, have a rule of - one poster, one ID, but this forum, very annoyingly - seems to allow account after account to be set up, with the main aim of some being to cause chaos and disruption. Yet it is permitted, maybe even encouraged.

Multiple accounts should be ousted, and members named and shamed.

I get the impression that accusations of people using multiple accounts are much more widespread than people actually doing it.

If any two posters agree then they get accused of being the same person.

If anyone actually bothers to set up a second account just so they can have an imaginary friend then they deserve sympathy, not hatred.

 

[securespark]

I agree.

 

[pete01]

If I had two accounts I'd probably argue with myself all day

 

[pete01]

No you wouldn't

It's fairy obvious, that some of these people, are long-standing members of the forum, when they launch straight into a discussion, rather than feeling their way, gently in, as a newcomer to the forum would do.

I don't think that's fair. Lots of people post on various forums so are comfortable with the concept. They won't necessarily be all shy and polite.

Plus many read for a long time before joining. So they probably feel like they "know" a few of the regulars already.

It's a basically, a DIY forum - yet these 'characters' immediately launch themselves and stick to the GD section, never posting on anything DIY related. They stand out a mile.
