The moderators do not want to ban anyone on here and we PM members who are being disrespectful or offensive or are trolling etc with FRIENDLY warnings. We do this because we want threads to be readable, not full of one sentence flippant replies and also to maybe entice the multitude of guests that persuse our boards.

Debate is fine, but if a member is proved constantly wrong about the facts that they have presented but they chose to ignore this and continue to post arrogantly, then it is in everyones best interests that this is looked at behind the scenes.

The advice given was completeley ignored and so consequently this issue has arisen.

Many posters would be incredibly surprised at the amount of spam and non contributing posts that we have to deal with.

Over the last few months, great efforts have been going on behind the scenes to make MB a better and more informed site. All moderators are volunteers who give up at least an hour of their time everday to help run these boards and to improve it's profile to the outside world.

Sometimes we make mistakes but on the whole I think we are a decent bunch considering some of the vitriol we sometimes recieve behind the scenes.

The encouraging of debate regarding this matter shows what a decent bunch we all are. We could have just let this matter be dealt with by us excusively.

If anybody ever has any ideas or opinions regarding the site we can all be reached by PM and will reply fairly swiftly.
