Subject: This board

Once upon a time time this messageboard was the place to be, we used to talk about lower league football, music, Knightons latest exploits, cheese, more lower league football etc

Now look at it, its a disgrace, all the decent characters, Ricko springs to mind, have naffed off. We now have to put up with what appears to be relentless imposters and other such degenerates abusing the regular contributors with their foul mouths.

I for one am completly pig sick of it, what are the moderators doing ?, can we not ban these (i'm guessing there is more than one) messageboard hooligans ?, can't we track them down via there IP number ?. These idiots spoil it for everyone, the regulars slowly but surely stop posting, the casual poster is put off, and i never know who is who and am dare not reply to a posting for fear that it may not be genuine. Just look below at the posting from Nick Harrion - is that real or a clever forgery ?, i don't know, you tell me.

Imposter i am pleading to you, just please go somewhere else and leave us in peace, you are ruining it for every genuine lower league football fan.....please leave us in peace.

Moderators, why dont you do what you were voted (again i'm guessing) in for and either (a) Moderate - by this i mean you should be able to distinguish the real postings from the imposter and removed the fake ones. (b) BAN these idiots, speak to there ISP's, thats what the IP number is for isn't it ?, for gods sake Moderators, use your powers.

Thanks

BTW i have not used my real name, hey why bother you'll only think its the imposter

[> I agree mate. I believe now is the time that the messageboard moved onwards and upwards which means the only solution to this is Members only . It can work and although it may put off some posters it is the only way to get rid of the imposters. -- Ted CUFC, 21:03:08 06/04/02 Tue (62.7.84.239)

[> [> I remember people being banned from here so why not just do that?? I wouldn't mind but these people pretending to be someone else just aren't even funny. Ricko's still about but had to adopt a new name as the imposter was stalking him to epic propotions, he or she used to follow him round other boards, who has the time or the mentality to do that?? Lets start banning the annoying little pricks and make sure they have to ask to get back on, or just make it a members only board!! -- Ali, 21:17:58 06/04/02 Tue (195.92.94.5)

[> [> [> Do you know what the policy is for banning users ? Are the mod's banning people and then releasing the ban at a later date ? Whats the score ? -- PORBC, 21:20:57 06/04/02 Tue (213.123.43.5)

[> I agee. Why can't they just be banned? And if they can't - why don't we try a new forum host? -- another irregular regular, 21:43:16 06/04/02 Tue (62.6.102.152)

[> I think the solution is to go to one of those network 54 boards where you can register a name, but you don't have to be registred to post -- The Dale, 21:49:21 06/04/02 Tue (195.93.32.151)

[ Edit | View ]

[> [> Fair enough - if there are twats out there sad enough to use IP masking just to irritate a messageboard then Network 54 seems to be the obvious solution, but I've heard the name mentioned here before and there hasn't been any hint of a move - does it have any serious drawbacks? -- Pat_M, 00:29:53 06/05/02 Wed (195.92.67.66)

[> They coudl simply delete the messages as they appear which would mean the twat gave up. Of course they could do with moderators who are on the board for more than 10 minutes a day! Ive said all along-make me a moderator as I reckon i view thsi board more than anyone and il delete all the crap. -- Blakey, 09:23:02 06/05/02 Wed (66.119.33.135)

[> Perhaps its a moderator who's doing it. Just a thought. -- JtM, 19:25:57 06/05/02 Wed (80.225.18.237)
