If Ever There Was A Case

[ttfn]

Ed - for moderators to have the authority to remove posts. Today's offerings from certain quarters are nothing short of pathetic.

[ummmm]

It's hardly new though. I think most people take it with a pinch of salt.

[boxtops]

Couldn't agree more ttfn, looks like they have been reported each time as the OPs are suspended, but the foul posts are still there.

[ttfn]

Quite so boxy. ummmm - I know it happens frequently - that is not good enough reason for us to have them on our threads though is it?

[boxtops]

I could do without it, quite spoils my ABing!

[charmer73]

i dont agree, who picks the moderators?dont give anyone the authority to remove ,only the eds, but with an explanation why

[tigerlelly]

I can't understand why an avatar showing two little snowmen having a love fest should be removed but these vitriolic tirades are still on here!

[tiggerblue10]

I know its been asked on here before but I can't remember what the answer was - can't users be banned through their IP addreses?

<<<Izza babe apparently, so ner ner ner ner :P

[B00]

yeah, but shhhh, fiver well spent I reckon :P

[ttfn]

Ed has asked us, on occasion, not to reply to trolls as otherwise it feeds the trolls' egos after they have been suspended. If such posts were removed more quickly this could not happen to the extent that today's examples show.

[zzxxee]

totally agree ttfn !!!!!!

[Jan1957]

I agree ttfn. It's one thing reporting them but then they stay on the site all weekend when they should be removed. The poster shouldn't have the satisfaction of knowing they're still here. The moderators should have the ability to remove the posts completely.

[cazzz1975]

if the posts would have been removed quicker people wouldnt have been replying on them, its all very well saying dont feed the trolls, in fairness they should make sure this type of content is not left languishing for hours on end.

tiggs, there are too many ip hiders/temporary ip address stuff now that banning an ip is fruitless

[Robinia]

It beats me as to why some people insist on habitually replying to the trolls. Maybe a suspension for them too?

[oranger]

Methinks the nurse threw the best bit away when vomiteater and lightbulbchanger were born.

[tiggerblue10]

Ah thanks Cazzz, its all coming back to me now.

It should also be remembered that this site is open to any age range, families have shared computers etc. Would anyone really want their child to read such overtly sexual vitriol as that?
