**** off Gary. Claiming you're real only makes you sound faker than ever before.

Can't you just ban him Joe? If I'd posted that, I'd have placed a comma after the word "him".
Still, a pretty good fake. Then again why would anyone want to be a fake?
Use the IP ban option under moderate, a good way of stopping trolling by all those 'Garys' out there. Worked a treat to stop trolling & spamming on my forums, although whether the culprit was a 'Gary' or not is another question, didn't read the threads in any great detail, a thread advertising 'laundry washing' or whatever it was wasn't exactly worth reading |

If you want healthy discussion Joe, you need to do something about this.

Go on then. If you're so desperate to have yet another online identity, keep calling yourself Tredworthy or The Real Tredworthy, and you can argue with yourself online till the cows come home. But it won't make you a happy or decent human being. Get a life.

I would have used an exclamation mark after "Get a life".

I would have used an exclamation mark after "Get a life". How old are you, 'Gary'? Grow up. Then, go get a life. Mod/admin staff, the IP ban does work, even on guests, go to the settings cog (next to the 'like' thumbs up button), select 'moderate' and click 'ban guest user'. On that screen make sure the 'ban IP xx.xx.xx.xx' checkbook is checked. Click okay. If you wish to learn more about 'gary', go to the IP option in that moderate menu and click 'geolocation'. Just redo this IP ban procedure as many times as necessary to prevent pointless spammy posts being made. Hope you have a nice spam-free day |

I'm sure it's very easy, but Joe has weird views about not banning people, regardless of how disruptive they are. I guess he's grateful for any traffic this site gets.

Hope you have a nice spam-free day I used to do that for 'Eddddy', but he/she/it would change IPs, so I hazed it instead. I may ban some IPs tomorrow, but it would help if there were enough substantive posts to get a better idea of what motivates certain people. I would certainly prefer to clear out the spammers/urine extractors before local elections kick off. |

I'm getting kind of a KP vibe here. I do want this site to be used, but only because there is no-one else offering the chance to discuss politics without conditions . I'd be there, otherwise. It's sad how little is happening on the Gloucestershire Boards, these days... |

Say what you want about Eddie, Joe, at lease discussions can be had in a civil manner over there.

I don't really get that. Eddie called me a liar with no proof whatsoever. He banned me from the forum because he thought I was out of order for pointing out publicly that porn and drug links had been posted to the board blogs and left there for months, rather than him for missing this fact for those months. Eddie doesn't stay polite for very long when he feels he's being challenged.
And there doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion happening at the moment anyway, compared with how it was before he banned me. For all the above reasons?

I've always found Eddie to be very polite and fair.

And when did you last feel the urge to post on his board?
