Man, so many new members, and so much stupidity they keep spewing. It's getting rather pathetic.
If you have ever been panning for gold you have to go through a lot of gravel before the gold starts to appear... and there is no guarantees there is gold in this stream...
Seeing how Garry doesn't have it in him to outright ban them, maybe it's time to have sections for longstanding members with a minimum 2000 posts and 2 year old accounts for the most important sections, and the newbie weenie plebs posts elsewhere.
Well to be fair I am not going to just ban because you suspect someone might be similar to another member who has previously been banned.
This isn't America, suspicion is not enough to convict.
These new weenie plebs need at least a 1 year probationary period where they have at least to pretend to be on their best behavior, their worthless posts are eating up too much of the bandwidth.
If new members didn't bring up old shit we have talking about to death several times over before then it would not be the internet.
This whole place has 1 admin and 1 moderator
No wonder it's a shitshow
Yet you keep coming back day after day.
Thank you for the support... if I wasn't making so much money doing this I would give it up real quick...
Garry is a liberal in the good old sense of the word and I like that very much, but some old and quite a few new people are clearing abusing of that liberalism and outright dragging down the quality of the board. No matter how much you are against it and how long you want to resist it, sooner or later weeding is needed by the completely arbitrary criteria of good posters stay, bad ones leave.
The thing is that I don't make this personal... people who have been banned before I don't secretly hate and am looking for excuses to make it permanent.
And those thinking the newbies are the problems there are plenty of old hands that pop up with some negative statistic from this weeks US propaganda source they post and watch get chewed up and spat out.
Learning to not get angry that some people don't care about anyone else is an important skill, it doesn't bother me that Navalny is an evil self centred ass, and that the people who think he is wonderful don't seem to know much about him except he opposes Putin and that is enough.
To make weeding out effective I would have to block new members again, which is something perhaps to discuss first.
I miss your old handle bitcointrader70 cry, what will be your new handle next week?
I know you mean well, but would you mind letting me handle it?
So perhaps a civil discussion about whether the new member option is closed for a bit.
I have had a look at the system and there are a lot of users that have signed up but never posted a single post, so I am thinking of getting rid of some of those just to free up some system space.
Will send emails before I do so of course, but even the most hardcore lurker could take the time to post at least once...
Some conversation on these subjects that is not arguing would be appreciated.
BTW one solution to members with so many accounts would be an email ban on gmail.com and yahoo.com and hotmail.com accounts... would effect a lot of members though...
