I have had a lot of complaints about offensive and frankly dodgy stuff getting post here lately. The "I had sex with my sister" thing is the last straw. The figures for abuse in Ireland are approximately 1:4. From now on, if Monty bans someone for posting utter **** like that, I'm going to ban them outright (as happened…

From now on, if Monty bans someone for posting utter **** like that, I'm going to ban them outright (as happened with that poster and will with others who support it..).

Its not funny and its offensive. Please consider this somewhere you would say stuff that wouldnt offend the majority of people in a Dublin pub.

If in doubt, ask yourself if its worth it. I'm not being PC but ffs theres a limit to good taste.

Actually this is a very good point.

Theres no age restriction on boards that I can tell (perhaps I didn't notice it) and stuff like that will only get bad press.

And i thought they were a 'no-no'

I think possibly an age restriction should be imposed on some boards, if thats even possible. Though it is easy to lie about your age and i doubt DeVore will go check everyones birthcert too so meh.

Good to see some control coming back to the place before the usual summer muppetry comes into full force.

how do you stop people just re-regestering, then just putting a 2 beside their old alias?

Don't think you can...inless you get their ISP to ban them from the site compeletly..but even then they can still register from a library or internet cafe and cause chaos.

nothing really...

But thats where the fun begins, if its someone attempting to be a muppet on this board, it allows me to become even more ruthless than normal and negate the rules I have set for myself.

There are times when I look forward to muppets doing that...one in particular, who will for the moment go unnamed, but I am really looking forward to his/her next appearance and attempts to annoy me...why, may you ask...I have my reasons ... and no, they dont have to with Dev's statement above.

I have to agree it was Horn Dog, As I have been informed by Saruman we both work with the bloke...He seems to wreck peoples heads in here..Ah well Im sure monty will be waiting for him.
If you like Monty we could ask him to log back in and see what your plan of action will be...
