I think it's great that new posters are registering given some of the somewhat tiresome regulars who hang out on here. New views to read and hear and all that. Fully agree, it’s just this forum appears to get new posters shortly after somebody gets called out... just saying ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know when people are banned? I don't. I have no idea when anyone gets banned. I still think this is a nasty campaign against TJ again. You can't say every new poster is him and then try to get other posters to either ignore them on that basis or try to get them banned on their first post. Some new posters are bringing different views on here as it has got a bit tired. I'm wondering what people have got to fear from new posters?

Mainly because I don’t have a clue who TJ is other than every other poster is accused of being him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like being at a disco and never asking a girl to dance. ..............I for one, only post when I really have something to say..........I often find that other folk have said what I would have said so I 'like'.........I have to be very concerned about something to make me post......

Some new posters are bringing different views on here as it has got a bit tired. I'm wondering what people have got to fear from new posters? A regular poster (or 5) will usually say something offensive about "ans", then say poor old TJ got a ban or WMM got a ban. That is almost always followed up within minutes by a new poster. That in itself causes real new posters to be viewed with suspicion, probably wrongly most of the time. Does that make sense ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not having a go at you Dilli but we all know the confusion a random new poster causes after a ban don't we (?) Don't worry your secret is safe with me. But I do think that assuming everyone is TJ just fucks off and causes problems for any new genuine poster who is usually accused of being TJ within 30 seconds and then gets life made very hard for them indeed and probably gives up! It's stopping more than a few new people coming in I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilligaf Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I jumped in once (?) on new poster " michaeleaton" as I thought it was someone else taking the piss. I PM'd an apology to him and he accepted it. I take a lot more care now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will put new posters off if everyone just piles in on them from outset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
