good to see some measures brought in.

Some idiot called "happy feet" pm'd me with a large amount of drivel

What gets me is they say wigan is now a football town, if it was why would they have to reitterate it to every member on the board?

wonder when these idiots have been watching latics for!

another pm recieved at 3:15 am this morning, of Mr.Platini

could you extend moderator laws so that pm's have to be verified before they are sent?

because i am getting increasingly annoyed at this bloke emailing me about where football needs to take over as number one sport and quite frankly i could not give a toss, so he is wasting his time and my time.

He seriously needs help!

Right. We have some morenew measures in place.

1. You only get message board posting rights when you register. Nothing else.

2. Once you get to a certain number of posts, the mods get an email to decide whether you get any more site rights - like PMs.

I may make the board fully moderated as well - which means that all posts from new users are reviewed by mods before being published on the message board. That should make us troll proof.

Some of us have spent quite a lot of time doing just that before these new measures came in.

New measures are now in place for mods to decide who gets what permissions.

There are now two site modes - the normal one when we are not under attack and a moderated one when we are.

I'm working on a third mode that will prevent new users from posting at all without moderators releasing their posts. This would be very restrictive and would stop all troll attacks when activated.
