Another thread gone... 09:14 - May 13 with 7092 views | PhilTWTD | And the poster causing much of the row - who I suspect is one of the former users who continues to send me abusive emails - has been removed. Can that be the last of the sniping or I will just ban those who are continually involved, whether long-term users or otherwise. |  | | |  |

Yeah these victims of online attacks really need to cut it out - troublemakers I tell you. |  |

Well, there was a lot of needless sniping prior to the libellous accusation, which was obviously totally uncalled for and led to the user's ban. |  | |  |

Had everyone just caved in and bought some Breathable Ice Mesh underwear this would never have happened. I miss those ads, wonderful pair of plum catchers I must say. |  |

…I replied to the OP, saying everyone is welcome as long as they aren’t abusive to other posters, and then the “previously banned” poster immediately said his thing. No “row” or “sniping” at all. |  |

Or knickers, as they’re known. So who’s gone? Honestly, can’t spend 24 hours away from here without missing some Drama or other! |  |

Not I, I have been busy preparing for the AFS cruise this summer. I have stocked up on pitta breads and artisanal humous - always a hit with the alfresco gang when sailing around the Nordic Fjords |  |

Question is, was it elite sniping or just regular sniping? |  |

Would second that, ironically it was the nicest response I've ever seen from Bloots ;) |  |

….its probably time to have a proper registration system on here. People need to take responsibility for the things they say. It would also be easier for the victims of the abuse to take action if they want to. |  |

There were other people having a pop at the OP, which seemed needless. Not sure why new posters are given hassle on occasion, it's unnecessary and unhelpful. |  | |  |

I’m guessing that mobiles & VPNs make banning IPs (which was best option when I ran my racing forum from 2007-2017) almost impossible. |  |

If a new poster says "not sure why a Kiwi has a monopoly over a Town forum" - it's perfectly legitimate to politely call the implied racism out isn't it? Agree with your point re: new users in general - but that was a howler of a first post. Edit: I should say, I don't envy the job you have to do here. [Post edited 13 May 2024 11:09]

The OP was doing okay until he went on a bit of a weird rant about Muslims and millennials in response to an innocuous post from young Rommers. |  |

I didn't see that comment, I have to admit. I was talking more about people suggesting he was just trying to drive traffic to another site. |  | |  |

I didn't see that either, I removed the thread and the user immediately after I was alerted to the libellous comment. |  | |  |

I would say that applies more widely - anonymity is one of the most abused 'rights' there is. |  |
