That's why I took myself off here for a week. Just reading posters having personal digs for their own amusement does not fit well with me. Hope the board gets better after the sale is completed. Have a good day folks.
How about some basic forum posting guidelines posted as a stickie? Continue to break the guidelines = ban. (temp then perm). Of course, they shouldn't be needed in an ideal world but time and again the 'discussion' spirals downwards to out of order abuse, derailing, etc. As others have said, it's not funny, not on and forum members shouldn't have to tolerate it. Btw, I know full well "stop been ****" is a bit of an in-joke but perpetuating it doesn't really help anything.
