Remove the idiots and timewasters

I came here for help and I may as well have been asking someone to help me with my shopping during a football riot while wearing a police uniform.

Absolutely unhelpful, pointless and ridiculous comments by idiots here for... what exactly? To abuse?

This forum has utter fools trawling the boards looking for trouble.

What a pointless waste of what should be a helpful forum.

Needs serious moderation.

    Persistent offenders will have their posting privileges removed...





    ... and then probably sign up with a new user account and carry on, if it wasn't a new one they used for abuse in the first instance.
    This forum has a policy of be nice to newbies. Perhaps you should consider creating a new user account too, so that others have to be nice to you ;)

    I`m a newbie here too. I`ve found a huge amount of genuinely helpful, friendly and knowledgable people on here only too willing to help.
    The downside has been a small minority of those who believe they know it all and don`t mind telling others so, and who are extremely judgemental (and also vocal) over issues they don`t know the facts about.
    However, I`m learning to ignore the latter and appreciate the former. If you do that, it really is a helpful forum. :)
