Attention Chris W please!

Chris, m8

Please can we have some form of Moderator or sensible few who can "vet the applicants" to avoid the spammers and total Cnuts arriving on this site, and if said applicant turns out to be a cnut, delete them

they are ruining a perfectly good "brilliant site" that will eventually mean good members walking away

regards

Steve





Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Why doesn't someone just come out with it?

Bare, is a nob, never has anything useful to say and to boot he/she's derogatory and rude with it and only here to troll for reactions. Just look at their last 10 posts if there anything useful there than let them stay.

+1 - Moderators have all gone very quiet on LCB. Perhaps Chris could permit another member(s) to assist with the task of moderating. Lots of other forums use forum members to moderate the forums - I think between us we could do it.

You could setup a system where is a certain number of people 'report' a member, then that members account is automatically frozen, and flagged to the moderator. What do you think?

To be fair, while maybe I have missed it, the level of spam in minimal.
Bare is not a spammer, and would have go through a vetting process.

There is also significant issues with a manual vetting process, in terms of the labour required, and the introduction of a lead time to signing up, which hampers the whole thing.

Did it once on my forum, for about 8 weeks when had major issues with spam memberships, until the software was improved to correct the issue by improving the sign up process.

Spam's not the problem, it's one very very annoying member offending pretty much everyone!! And I don't consider myself easily offended by any means

Spam is the main problem perhaps it is time to ban all m*bile p*one threads at least for a few months until the spammer looses interest.

Bare (who I suspect we all know of old by multiple other names) sets out to provoke by posting extreme versions of views that are often not far from reality.

Some posts, as you say, maybe loosely based on the truth. However, most decent folk would never dream of posting in the manner he does. We all have different views and opinions but IMHO he makes this forum a worse place to be, there's just no need for it.

Surley we all know what an utter bellend Bare is so why give her the satisfaction? Just let her have her schoolgirl rambles and ignore her.

on some other forums i'm a member of there are some very clear rules about what is and isnt acceptable behaviour and people have been banned, either temporarily or permanently.

the trouble is the banning of members tends to just get them more attention, and ultimately creates a bad feeling.

It'd be nice if there was a mute function so you could decide if you didn't want to see someone's posts. They would see their own, but fewer and fewer people would read them.

Christ, is it that big an issue?

Bare's probably a secondary ID for another member anyway.

Being an admin/mod would show an IP address so this could be ruled out or the account could be deleted.

An unprofessional troller wouldnt be hide an ip that easily. Ive modded on other forums and its very easy to spot and fairly easy to stop.

No idea who "Bare" is nor do I care, but having a quick look at some so his/her posts, they seem to be posted to create a reaction ... but so far I have not seen anyone post contradictory information to prove Bare is incorrect, so I am with BT.

Just because you do not like what somebody says or his/her opinion differs from yours, that is not a good reason to censor them.
