Quote: Fragman said: Or the fact that the people who attacked the DC MB kept bringing up age old jokes from the qwerty days
so, if you know the same jokes... wouldn't that mean others would, as well? or, perhaps, that you are one of the attackers? (it makes sense, you post here and there...)
thats really not much more of a stretch than you're presenting.

as said, you're truly a detective.
finding evidence that isn't there is always impressive.
but, hell, ill agree with you if it'll get you to stop bringing up idiocy.
Quote: Fragman said: Your the one who keeps bashing the pre-moderation. Tell me what you would have done.
the same thing i did for years -- wade through the posts, tirelessly, and moderate. its not difficult. tedius, yes, but thats the job, thats what it calls for.
the most important thing about a message board is discussion, NOT moderation. shutting down and/or limiting discussion kills the board, NOT spam. spam or attacks or whatever can be deleted -- even if it means staying up a little later or working a little more on a saturday. its not something a mod hates, because thats a mod's job.
spam is nothing new. it also can't ever be 100% prevented. you just work through it, and hope that "regular" posters are tollerant in their complaints about you, as the mod.
i'm very against the notion of sacreficing the boards because a few people made annoying comments. its just killing the joy of the forum, and pissing off people who never did anything wrong.
and, really, i can't see how anyone would be in favor of that method.

everyone would. for reference, see: those upset in this thread, and my responses to them.
Quote: Fragman said: Oh and I`d love signs and avatars and a Lobo board while I am @ it.
everyone would. for reference, see: my recomendations to invite those who want such features to boards that offer them.
Quote: Fragman said: They where posting offensive religious posts and toppics and (I aint sure if that was coincidently or them aswell) there where several new ID`s like johnbyrne where they posed as creators when in fact they where not.
i'm suprised you'd offer benefit of the doubt! very kind of you.
Quote: Fragman said: How on earth would you suggest to deal with that?
again, the same way things have always been dealt -- by attacking the problem, not making new ones.
