No need to be jealous I've left you a message here too spaghetti

If votes and POLLSare becoming the 'in' thing could admin email us when this occurs so those of us who don't log in every day get a heads up to log in and vote

I'm not falling for that twice

As far as I'm concerned, someone who has been a member here since the start has been subject to abuse.

We want to prevent that from happening again in the future if possible.

We've now agreed on steps to address this.

If there are any further issues we'll have to re-examine it in the future.

I can't really see any further debate is necessary.

Is something to think on for the future though.

Noted.

In fact I'll go as far as to say (unless anyone raises objections) that mass emailing Active Members be a standard for polls affecting forum policy from hereon.

One sock issue remains. When one has been identified and blocked it has been suggested their posts be removed with them. This is easily done from a facilitation aspect and personally I agree with the reasoning, however if a Sock has managed to go undetected for any length of time their presence on the forum being removed could make some threads appear disjointed. For now we'll go on a case by case basis but can I ask that people try not to engage with any trolls by responding as this immediately means it is harder to delete just the offenders posts as they have more and more responses connected to their account and instead PM the facilitators or highlight your concerns in the Facilitators Feedback thread.

Ok, we think we've done it!

All new members now require a facilitator to approve their first post, until they get Approval they can not post or PM.

As this has entailed moving pretty much all the membership database around into new groupings there may be one or two problems; if you have a problem PM, post in Facilitators Feedback thread or use the Contact tab to let the facilitators now.

Good stuff.
Cheers for all your efforts.

Ok oi. thanks for implementing the policy.

Now that it's over, instead of me starting another troll thread, etc..... Btw I'm no longer going to be advocating the inner/outer sanctum idea.

Oi how about having a registration fee, would this get rid of trolls, would they not want to keep reregistering at the cost of being banned..

I hope this is not off topic or annoying anyone or badly thought out, it's just a thought, and a way of ensuring that SZ is evenly paid for by the users, and at the same time would discourage trolls etc... (they don't like losing money I guess).

I was thinking along the lines of a refundable deposit. After a set time or number of posts without any troll behaviour it gets refunded.
However, I wouldn't be here cos I dont do banks, no bank no paypal account - unless there is another way of paying online.

It's a long shot WH, I think you can get a pre paid credit card, this is something that some travel agents deal with, so you give them cash, they put credit on a card voucher...

or at the Post Office
''Who can apply for a Post card?

The Post Office travel card is Visa branded where anyone over the age of 18 years can apply for an account. Online secure application which takes a few minutes to complete, you will require your passport to confirm your identity where you choose the currency card you require.

NO credit checks are done as you are guaranteed to be accepted as long as you pay for your foreign currency exchange in advance. Even if you have bad credit you can still be accepted.'' www.compareprepaid.co.uk/reviews/travel-...ard-post-office.html

Idlk how much bother it would be or if any other options are available?

I guess you can just keep the card to use for online payments in the future, so it's not a bank account per say, just a way of putting your money onto a card, to pay
I don't really know how much the PO might charge to do this or if it's any good or not?

Or even if anyone else thinks the fee idea is any good....

Edit btw I would not want to see you excluded .

your skills are wasted on us, bt.
Please stop now

If memory serves me well, I believe it was WUB that first came up with the £1 registration fee idea back when the split happened.

Just saying


Far as the rest goes... job well done oi and let's see if this goes some way to fixing our issues
aside from the fact the fuckers locked me out of admin!!

It's been bugging my conscience how to donate to the forum upkeep.
I resent having to use banks, visa etc on principal. But your solution seems the lesser of most other evils. If I only put enough in for each transaction they won't get too much benefit from it.....robbing barstards.
Tks again
ps. STARVE THE BEAST Google the Lawful Bank.

Can't knock BT for his enthusiasm & willingness to contribute ideas.
Full of beans that lad....

Full of summat anyway...
