    You are new user on boards. Your first three posts are premoderated and you have just been allocated the username Guest1646464.

    You cannot have an avatar yet, nor a PM inbox or a proper username.

    It will cost you less than €1 to 'properly' reg.

    Will you reg and continue using the site?

    [I'm curious if this process would prevent re-regging and general muppetry]

    Maybe. There are thousands of troll reregs.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Problem is your putting this question to regulars of this site, who'll probably say yes. But if I was a new user, with no experience of the site, and I'd a question to ask I would probably toddle off to some other free forum.

    When I first joined, if I saw a €1 reg fee I wouldn't have registered.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    It saves a lot of bloody hassle for mods. I mean some people need to be hospitalised the amount of times they rereg.

    If being a mod is so bad then why bother? You're not exactly forced to do it.

    It's amazing how far people take this mod lark, it's an internet forum for christ sake.

    Nope. It'd be nice to cut down on some of the trolling but that's all it'd do, I think.
    I mean at the end of the day, the dick is being a dick. Being told "here you owe us a quid" isn't gonna change it.

    I likes mads, but I think it's time we has an intervention for him.

    He reminds me of a new manager I got in before and wanted to change around the stock room and kept moving things to make it look like he was doing manager work and organising the store even though everything was grand.

    He actually ended up breaking the legs off those metal shelves cafes use, awful gowl of a man.

    I only use the mobile version so I don't know what other services are offered that require payment its not a good idea IMO because it would probably stop new registrations because they wouldn't want to pay for a service that was free in the past
