Sorry rpbluesman, it has already been discussed here 2 or 3 times, IP ban is not a solution
It could ban hundreds of persons for one single troublemaker
But why not consider the option in the serious cases? You're saying that trouble makers are allowed to walk freely around the forum. Perhaps consider the option when no one shares the IP.
It has also already been discussed several times. Multiple accounts are allowed.
That still doesn't explain why. I know they're allowed, the issue we're all having is
why?
Each Global Moderators (Team Leaders) are free to do what they want with their TM, M. There is no need for new rules
Funny, because at least 99% of the moderators and Globals would disagree with you there
The message board is very popular. Last time we did a forum inspection everything seemed to run very smoothly and efficiently :neutral:
The forum inspections just show that the forums themselves are run ok. They don't mention the problem members or other problems with the site. As Andy put it, you seem to be more concerned about the member count than protecting the good and legitimate members that we have.
If you are not happy with your Moderators / Trainee Moderators, you can get ride of them. It's your team :neutral: It would be so unfair for them
It's not my TMs personally, it's the whole system. ANd as I previously stated, almost every other Mod will agree with me. As for being unfair...I don't think so. If they aren;t going to make it anyway, why should itmatter. I'm saying that we wipe all the TMs, and then each Global mod can select say 2-4 of the good, legitimate candidates to bring back into the fold. I see no problems with that whatsoever. It happens all the time in the real world.

If I recall correctly there are a # of these instances that have been brought up to no avail. One such matter is with Shambler / The Evening Optimist. Ignoring the fact that it's a duplicate account, why can a banned member be permitted to come back to the boards and resume his antics?
See my previous post :neutral:
That doesn't explain anything. Why can a banned member be allowed to come back under as many different names as they want? That really defeats the purpose of the ban in the first place.
If Dallas and Andy316 want to be demoted, i will demote them :neutral: They just have to PM me.
That's making light of the reason why. It's not as if they're just tired of moderator duties, they're tired of the way this forum is turning out, and to be blunt...I don't understand why it isn't clear to you. You've got 99% of the moderators and Globals stating that things need to be done, and yet you are unopen to even the idea of change, let alone actually doing it.
I do not agree Daniel. Things are as simple as before. They just have to PM me or a Global Moderator. How could it be more simple?
By not having an endless # of Trainees....by not having banned members returning....by not having people with 3,4,5 accounts with nothing being done....I can go on.
