General Discussion
I've disabled the user and deleted the posts. I introduced a simple bot detection mechanism a while ago whereby the user has to enter the first and last letters of the chosen username in separate boxes. This is validated both on the client and the server. I admit it is not hard to for someone writing a spambot to program this in, but as I had not seen this used before I thought it would probably ...
Normally I try very hard not to delete posts unless I really have to, but in this instance I think everyone would agree that the thread is irrelevant (among other things) and so I have deleted it.
Thanks for that, much appreciated.
@Don Pearson Also, the anglicised Scots used in Trainspotting was hard going at times but the book better because of it, so I agree it can sometimes add rather than subtract. I'm not saying I'm going to ban Rainbow1 because of this. I'll have a think about it and also leave it up to users to discuss.
When someone posts something personal directly to or about another user and the other user replys, and there is a continuation of personal posts between the 2 users, then this is classed as a chat dialog. Dallas's thread may not have breached this term, but I put it there to remind you and others. I hope this clarifies it for you Rainbow1. The only thing I would add to this is that I think ...
Admittedly Rainbow1, you did not start the thread. However, I think users would prefer that you wrote in the version of English we all learnt at school, rather than the phonetic version you have invented or adopted, which is just hard to read.
Flaming other members with the apparent intent of inciting or perpetuating a conflict or argument. Bombing the forum or individual threads with repetitive, pointless posts. Posting personal e-mail or chat dialogues.
Rainbow1 & Dallas, You must know that your last long discussion thread is in breach of the terms of this forum. Therefore, please be warned that if either of you continue to breach the rules, I will have no choice but to terminate your account. Regards, Webmaster
I wasn't saying I disagree with Lynne - quite the opposite. I am unsure about slang. Everyone uses slang now and then. Rainbow1's use is excessive and is closer to shorthand notation. I agree it does not read easy.
I think if Rainbow1 genuinely suffers from dyslexia then perhaps we could help her in some way like her hubby is doing (as she claims in her posts)?
