I would suggest in further just a copy and paste statement to the newbies thread when any question is asked

Which is when the toddlers reply they cannot find it and want a lazy link because they are on a kiddiephone instead of a grown up laptop !! Lol

won't lift a finger to help themselves , won't Google , won't read , won't search , want spoon feeding , don't read other threads so continue down false paths etc

Indeed, I find myself becoming more and more intolerant of such people   I have been banned from several other fora for not suffering fools gladly

Perhaps they are PPC plants deliberately clogging up the board.

I very much doubt it, I think that a lot are lazy, and/or ignorant.

Have to agree.  I have had had a few newbies PM me wanting help but not helping themselves
I will only accept PM's from the regulars or those I invite
We can only go so far guys

You seem to be describing PPC plants accurately.

We should have the ability to restrict PM access to only those we choose to receive from - as per the old forum. Unsolicited PMs from randoms get short (but polite) shrift. 😊

Agreed, with PPC offices twiddling their thumbs we must expect drongo postings. Those who do it know they are scammers .. how sad is that ?

Too much time is spent on trying to extract information from the poster especially what the actual transgression is, the car park, the PPC and where they are in the process.

There are posters actually talking about counterclaims before they have given any consideration to how they will argue the case.
