People who make offensive comments about others should also be banned too shouldn't they JBrown?

Like I said earlier the admins will be dealing with that incident in due course.

I agree with you. Until the other night I rarely posted. I seem to have reached the end of my tether slightly before you.

I find it unpleasant when people use personal insults. For me it's not what a fans forum should be. It's a real turnoff for me.

I know of at least one other person who doesn't post on here because they feel intimidated.

BTW, this post is in no way a go at the Mods, they don't have eyes in the backs of their heads and they do a sterling job.

Add one more to that. And that's even with a Mod for a mum lol.

Well said that man.

Some on here take themselves far too seriously.

Ok, just don't come complaining when some of you are on the end of a ban and also don't constantly ask us where posts or threads have gone.

As Mods we don't have the time to tell you why a thread was removed, we will just remove it, sometimes only the odd post will be removed but if a thread is full of ODD posts then the whole thread will be removed, sometimes that will remove some good posts or serious discussions but unfortunatley that is the way it will be.

Anyone from now on that questions the moderation process will be banned after 1 warning and it will be sitewide nor will it be revoked.

If we find ourselves removing more posts from a user than we allow to stay then expect them to also be banned to lessen the workload on here.

In terms of banning, all we have access to do is Ban a username, sitewide bans become ban on site and as soon as we know who the new user is they will be banned again.

Be sensible and add to discussions and you will be ok.

People shouldn't be ashamed if that's their opion, if someone doesn't feel the same way about that person's opion then so be it, but knowone should feel intimidated becuase of what they think.

Good stuff. Could we also try and dissuade some of the more prominent users from the practice of unearthing ancient posts just for their self amusement unless it adds to the forum quality. I find it quite annoying and distracting when trying to find valid, current, RL debate only to see a 2 year old post on Lee Briers raked up with a smiley face post. I was shocked when I discovered the culprit.
