Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I agree with your sentiments in your post above. But I do think a 'Yellow Card' has previously been handed out and that's why the current one is a 'Red Card'.

Using different usernames might be an idea to an Internet novice but, as you know, each and every computer has its own unique identity. This makes ita simple task to check a new username with an old identity. And even using the Internet via a proxy doesn't really work as an alternative because of the member's need for a Username and Password.

This makes re-registering under a different ID without being caught just about impossible.

What is needed is for the member to be truly remorseful and penitent as well as to show discipline. This doesn't work too well as a way towards a solution if that same member person is also arrogant.

Another solution would be for selected people to be given the task of being an 'unpaid' Trader's Room or Investor's Room Moderator or at least with the salary for the job remunerated out by way of a free subscription(s).

But it is a rather boring job, I would guess, and most probably suited towards someone who is, say physically handicapped or house bound.

I guess it could be made to work as other users would merely e-mail the Moderator (or telephone if the moderation requirement is more serious).

What's happened just shows that you cannot actally trust people to behave and that Moderation is most definitely required.

My suggestion would be to now combine both boards and appoint some Moderators. Only 'one Moderator' would not work merely because of holidays, etc.

I also do think, that to see a username, as in eg. 'Stickyfinger (Moderator)' doing the odd occasional post would in itself have a very calming influence on te rest of us. I'm also sure Bullshare has a few mates out there who might agree to take on the job, merely to see if the idea of such a poster's 'Moderator' username being shown around the place actually works. And of course, the Moderator can also have the power to 'Edit out'.

Anyhow, that's my 'two penn'orth'.

:-)

I thought there already is a moderator E/L, his name being Ian.

Execline; We have had moderators since we stated in 2003, they very kindly watch the BBs when others sleep, currently there are 5 who do a fantastic job for us all.

Mike

But we already we have an unpaid moderator call synic, or something or other.

He/she is already chirping in like my mother and wife.

But it is perhaps attack the message and not the messenger.

Now where has that bastide gone!

Has the Hazy one been moderated?
