The Sarge:
The only reason for having more than one username is to troll…
Not always but that is the usual reason.
Also handy to have at least one already in place that you have used on odd occasions in case your main name gets banned. Extra attention is usually paid to people signing up just after a banning so it can make life much easier if you are already good to go.
So, don’t do anything to get banned - simple! If you get banned, you are probably trolling - so you deserve it.

Sometimes you have the red mist up one night or you have drank too much and do things you may regret. Wake up next day to find you are banned and maybe regret it.

There does seem to be a lack of tolerance towards any different views and opinions! There is nothing wrong with healthy debate, a reasoned argument and a good ■■■■ take…what gets my goat is a couple (or more…) seemingly grown men having a childish keyboard battle because one likes dollies and the other likes teddies! (Sarcasm and a figure of speech for those that don’t understand… )
I also don’t understand the need for more than one username, for most members anyway! I actually can for the moderators because they may like to log-in as an ordinary mortal and chat, rather than be here in an ‘official capacity’. IMHO any more than that I see as potential trouble-making but perhaps I’m not looking at it correctly…
As a former poster said, Luke had a very bad time of it and it was pretty unforgiveable. I beleive it has been dealt with but Luke is very noticeable by his absence, which is telling in itself!! Its also a damned shame because his posts where always a pleasure to read…
As for the trolls, they are just a bloody nuisance but it is unfair, I feel, to expect the mods to spot them and sort them out immediately. I would think that they have private lives too!! Surely its not too much to expect us, as members of this forum, to report them as soon as we see them? I don’t mean after the first ■■■■■■ post but after the tenth one, on different topics, which can only mean antagonistic behaviour towards others. The more ‘we’ report them, the more fed up they will get and hopefully they will bugger off for good! I would have a quid that ‘they’ are mostly down to one or two people but thats just a gut feeling. Batista was a particularly nasty specimin and I’m sure he hasn’t just rolled over because he had his bottom smacked…
There is an awful lot of good people here and a vast array of knowledge and experience. It is a pleasure to read about those experiences, past or present and wonderful to learn something new every day about aspects of the job that I knew nothing about.
It would be a shame to lose all of this because of the silly actions of a few…
very good post wish i’d thought of that much i think switchlogic took the homophobic stuff on the chin and reacted well but his posting seems to have waned since but he is regularly on other internet places very actively which is a shame for this site. it seems that the same trolls are posting more and more crap, i frequent other sites just to read some friendly banter without trolls and it’s beginning to get a bit tedious on here now i’m afraid

Am I the only one of the opinion that the professional content of the forum seems to have slipped in recent tmes? Any ideas as to where the fault lies? Or is it just the school holidays? Answers please!

i think ricky/moderators run it just about right,dont need the heavy handed zb,were not kids.
