Moderator query?
18 Answers
Can someone please explain why when there must be some moderator/Ed checking and deleting posts most of the time they are not able to jump in and quash the arguments in CB about who is who or who is masquerading as someoene else (such as has gone on this evening). Does the Ed not know when poeple are doubling up or am I being naive?

Ed does take off people who are pretending to be someone else, multiple IDs are against AB rules as I understand it - a couple of weeks ago people were being zapped left right and centre - but sometimes it can take Ed a while to catch up. IMO Ed can only do something if another poster reports a thread but others may know better than I do. Anonimity is one part of AB which many people like.

Thanks guys. I must admit I had forgotten that people could look at AB without signing in because my laptop at home and PC at work (only at lunchtime of course!!) always say 'welcome back prudie' when I come on straight from google. I see the stuff from earlier has gone now. I suppose if I registered at work with my work e-mail and obviously a different ISP I could create a monster too and no-one would know would they!

Prudie...You've hit the nail upon its head.
If you have access to more than a single Computer, you could have a number of registered names with AB and then have arguments with yourself within AB. Perhaps some people are already doing this.....Honestly, I am not....although I admit to having though about it, but am restricted by my conscience. I don't think you would need a different ISP....just two different Computers...say a Desktop and a Laptop.

Hi Prudie, Apologies for not having answered your personal question to me. I missed it whilst I was typing my last posting.
I don't know if you are on a 'dial-up ' internet connection or on Broadband. Viv and I do have separate E/mail addresses on BT Broadband so, in view of what craft1948 has said, it should be a simple matter for us to register separately with AB on the computer from which I am writing to you. It could be a different position with our secondary one which is still on a 'dial-up' connection via Virgin.( Left that way as a back-up)

"Just taking Facebook as an example Purdie, even without me cleaning up which I do before I log off, if I close Facebook say to go and do something else, I have to log back on. Maybe Answerbank can implement the same thing." Bez that's just your internet settings, I've only ever had to sign into facebook a few times. I only let my machine save all the pointless and worthless passwords - hence facebook.
