3151 Wishful Thinker

WT has posted a couple of aggressive posts - I've replied to one but deleted the other because it was really pointless and he is now under moderation as well.

In the thead I deleted he was calling for his "friend" to be re-instated "or else"

Oh well - as long as the forum is calm I am willing to waste time trying to contain all these people.

Ronald there's a small group of people who seem intent on posting completely pointless and inantile remarks on Forum. We should just ban the lot of them.

HI Charles - I hope you will agree that these is a definite svolta in my attidute to these people. It's quite interesting that as soon as they are told that someone will read the post "before" it is public they loose all interest in posting.

I wonder why? It is also interesting that they melodramatically claim they will leave but they don't actually do so.

Yes I've noticed the melodramatic exit strategies...

I think the current course of action is a good one. I do favour banning but perhaps this moderation route will do the job for us.

I too would favour banning, but, they have been allowed so much leeway in the past, that maybe the current pre moderation is the best way to go.
They cannot really complain if all that is happening is someone reading their posts first, but, it does stop them posting rubbish and stealing threads.
Their leaving also proves that their only interest IS in stealing threads and posting rubbish.

Hi George - that is precisely it. WT is only interested in the fights while Aliena can also be helpful but what really get's her going are the fights.

Anyway - things are quite for now and I have no intention to let them get out of control again.

Sorry, missed the 'fun' ... have been ill for the last couple of days & couldn't face going online yesterday at all. Still not feeling too good and staying home from work....

I think moderating them is safer than banning as they might just reappear with a new nickname. Between us all we should be able to sort them out.

Yes, it's definitely a calmer place! ;)
