Well Randy...high time has come it would seem.
In my opinion it is time to start banning users to preserve the board.
"MileageGOD69" is first from what I have seen...abusive posts with direct swearing...
I really believe it is time...regulars are starting to leave.

Wrecked 4 threads in 15 minutes or so.

And to re-iterate my earlier postings, and many others .. this clown has NO e-mail address visible on his profile or I could have taken to him by direct email and spared others.
He does however tell us this much about himself on his board profile:
Current Email: Not available.
Homepage: http://
Occupation: Porn Star
Location: New york
Interests: Sex in Foreign Lands w/ Foreign Dames
ICQ Number: 0000069
Let me guess .. the ICQ number is a fake too. What makes me think that?

Yes, some posters can be annoying, but usually such folks will leave after they get their jollies for a few days. At least, this has been the case on other boards I've visited in the past.

Randy, Removed my e-mail address from my profile. Would not like "mileage69" for my enemy. Very uneasy feeling about him (her?).

HI GUYS!
HERE'S JOHNNY!!!!!!!
Geez, Accusing me already you cowards? Hmmm?
If you tried to be civil & talk TO me instead of AT me, I would have let bygones be bygones.
I'll tell you this.......I will stop from this point on & NEVER post again if the 6 or so commentators will stop bantering/insluting with me. I will tit for tat to high heaven! (you may not use cuss words, but still have much of the same effect.)
SO FROM HERE ON OUT YOU STOP! I STOP! I WIN!
OK? Nuff said.
------------------
The Man they Call...."THE MAN"!

How about banning its username? IP logging is useless...ban it.
All of this will continue for weeks when you have something like that around.
Randy, Michael et al. BAN IT (MileageGOD69)

What a horse's rearend. The poor guy must have had the hell beat out of him repeatedly as a kid. One could well argue that he deserved it then.

Why not require a legit email address with a confirmation back in order to activate one's account? If there are changes to the profile involving the email change, disable the account until a confirmation is once again sent (with a link to activate the account).
I know this is not a popular view at all, but I have been saying for months that this board is full of rude people, and they are some of the most frequent posters. So while I may disagree with the means by which this person is communicating it, I can't disagree with the post he has in this thread.
I have come to accept the fact that common courtesy is not an arrow in everyone's quiver. This board seems to allow some people to either further their already inflated self image, or provide the means by which to inflate it. I know everyone here will disagree with me, but that is a difference in opinion...not proof I am wrong.
Whether it is curt responses to questions like "maybe if you told us if you were Premier we could help you" or outright attacks, this is not the friendly little place you seem to think it is.

One question... What kind of compensation do bumped users get? Vouchers? Drink Coupons?
