Since everyone is complaining about lack of content I wrote down everything I know about trading.
Now back to smelling my ear wax.

Or what, you'll internet slap him?
You have to be the rudest member on this site!![]()
Sorry to be the one to state the obvious but with a 95% failure rate !! Some of the old faithfuls will be among them much to their own disgust and chagrin.
Now you mention it - it does ring a bell! But why not revisit the idea? I think it's time that something is done; ignoring the problem isn't going to make it go away. As for Sharky, well, I would have thought he'd be open to any idea from vet's and advisors to improve the site so long as it doesn't sap his time or his (bulging!) wallet.
The obvious problem with sectioning off - or dividing - the site is that there will, inevitably, be a vociferous minority who will feel victimized and alienated etc. They will start threads that will become very popular and get listed on the front page etc. Ironically, in so doing, this course of action is likely to fan the raging fire of non trading rich content. Even so, I think it's time to bite the bullet and go for it.

As we are strolling down memory lane my two favourite posters (in addition to the ledgendary Mr Socco) where Rude Boy and China White, very different in style/content but still great contributions from both
How about a small section for members with over erm.... 118 posts :whistling Or a section for senior members (and higher)? Newbies could maybe view but not post in that area until they are senior members. Or as Mr. Charts said, a small paid for (cheap!) section? Would filter out some of the crap. It might also encourage newbies to read more rather than just start up new threads asking questions that have already been answered. I admit I've done this because its easier to ask again than search through pages of search results and threads as I don't find the search facility much good.
Interesting that, zup
There's well over 1000 been permanently banned - the vast majority being spammers.
For one reason or another some of the quality posters became sufficiently disenchanted to stop posting quality and resorted to the kind of posts to which you take exception and/or rude and abusive ones. We gave most of them many warnings and lots of rope, but they eventually hung themselves.
'Course, I expect that "We gave most of them many warnings and lots of rope" won't suit you either since it confirms your "not all are equal" view and your conviction of our hypocritical approach

.................Its interesting that you say "for one reason or another" quality posters became dishenchanted. What do you and the sites management think those reasons where ? do you take a view on this ?, do you feel that you are in some way responsible, or do you feel that you play no part in the events that lead to the loss of quality posters ? (or the increase in number of spammers and vendors who arent vendors ?...........
. Only a moron would treat everyone as an equal.
