Hi Dan,

Thanks for this, the one thing that it would definitely stop would be users adopting other people's names. It would deliver a bit more consistentcy to the board.

Also I would suggest having a moderator's approval before permission to post could be granted. This would stop anyone posting to cause trouble on a whim.

The Northern Light web board was a great place, but went down hill and got closed due to all of the phantom posters. I can see this happening here and that is why I have spoken out on the issue. I'd be very very sorry if the board was closed... I mean what would I do at work?

It can't be much fun having to vet every post personally and must drain a bit of the fun out of the board for you.

Going with more built in controls would make your job easier and foster a better environment.

Bottom line, for me at least the web board is the absolute hub of thin-lizzy.net and I think it should be enhanced rather than possibly closed.

All the best,

Davey m
