faye has a tat?
pwhodges:
Well, perhaps not; but then they have taken the trouble to come to the forum, so can we try to be a little more welcoming, and aim to guide them into the right ways rather than just being cross about things?

Can the registration page be changed to include links to the Rules/Welcome thread, along with a change to the Terms of Service stating that the person registering has in fact read those rules and accepts that if they fail to abide by them they will be banned (assuming this is not the case already, because if it was we wouldn't be having this discussion)?
I mean, there's really no reason why people cannot read the rules already (common Internet Etiquette with forums dictates that you locate and read the applicable Rules listings before posting anyway), but it should really be inexcusable to be ignorant of the existence of what-gets-discussed-where and when to start a new thread.
Carl-E:
That's pretty harsh. And as we've seen, even reading the rules (or agreeing to - not the same thing) doesn't guarantee someone won't slip up unintentionally. Then what, you want them bannned?
Your ass would've been outta here long ago for being uncivil. It was pointed out, and you took it to heart.
(Mine woulda been tossed out a couple of times)
Give 'em a break.
Now can we PLEASE let this go? The thread is dead, long live... some other thread. Pleeease.
I've never been fond of equinecrosadism.
beating a dead horse, if you must know.

I'd actually prefer that the forum utilize some form of Probation system (people put on it can still read the forums, but cannot post until a given period of time expires after they're put on Probation), but failing that, yes. That system is in place on forums that charge membership fees, so it isn't all that harsh when you consider that this place is free.

I'm not actually talking to the OP at this point so much as arguing with benji about whether acts like this stuff should be permitted (and pointing out solutions used on other boards to solve these problems without naming the specific boards).

This type of horse is the undead zombie/vampire of horses when it comes to internet forums, the only way to stop them is to obliterate them.
pwhodges:
Bah!
I may say more later (tied up right now).
