I suppose if we all keep an eye out for Dirk and report him to the mods as soon as he appears (which does happen already anyway) we could re-open unvalidated membership.

Only one problem though, the bootleg forums are hidden from non-members but if we open membership to anyone they will be visible straight away. Perhaps we could limit to members who have been here for one month or more - what do you reckon?

I'm not going to be the one who'll say what to do but I see that this point could be a problem, yep, and we've got some treasures at those forums that we should share with all the good ones ...

I don't know exactly how much time/posts we need to say if one is him or not (I guess, for example, that a month is much more than enough) but we can't lose new members because it's difficult to become one ... after all, there are only four members (two administrators and two moderators) here who can give the password to new members so they should be sure of that step and for the rest of forums: we all can take care of him ... I'm optimistic, you see

I'll be back.

I have no power to delete or ban a member (read: D) however. However, I think it's a good plan to keep our secrets to ourselves somewhat. I have noticed that I more or less act upon my intuition. I didn't hesitate to supply the password to members such as bromio and pnxo.

Yeah, maybe hold off giving out the passwords for a month for new members - what do you reckon?

I think a mod can ban someone's IP - I'm not sure if it will impact on all boards though - best to check with DM on that one.

Do you think we'll need some more mods?

I tried it once on behalf of Dirk. But when I clicked 'OK' it said I had no access. So it's just for the admins. I'm willing to try again though. You wanna ban someone specific?

It wasn't difficult to join in the first place. And I had my bootleg forum password a few days later (wasn't cheeky enough to ask for it straight away!).

Maybe you could hand out passwords after 100 posts? That way you'd know that the person was genuninely interested in the forum and not joining just for the boots.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
