I don't think the "cons." forum gets enough traffic to warrant a mod.... It may stop Deano from posting his theories elsewhere though... You may have something there Mr.Valentine.

Why random? Could we not make it choice bannings.... That would be sexy-tastic. I already have a list in the back of my mind...... Bye, bye Syren... hmm 😛

I did think of changing it to 'specific members' but that seemed mean.

And stfu

I have a radical suggestion. How about we change the GDF to something like "Current Events" and then expand with different forums, like a Science one or whatever.

I like that idea. Perhaps separation of some kind would keep the forums neater. More work though, which means more mods.

Which means more "specific members" being banned?.... hmm

Nice. We could branch it out into certain sections like:

[list]
[*]World News
[*]U.S. News
[*]Politics
[*]Business
[*]Science
[*]Technology
[*]Entertainment
[*]Health
[*]Sports
[/list]

Just a suggestion, really.

However, I fear that certain people would have a time trying to discern what story/headline/current event belongs in which section, thus making the Mods move thread after thread after thread.

Also, what about all the people who have registered over the years and posted 10 times or less, if at all? Couldn't the accounts of inactive members be deleted after a certain period of inactivity? I've noticed accounts of "members" who haven't even posted as far back as 2001.

What would be the advantage of that? And what would happen with their posts?

I remember Raz' previous answer being that they don' t cause a problem and hardly take any space, so there would be no point in deleting them. But it does serve the purpose of keeping a record of people who have applied for membership.

Well there is one obvious advantage as there would be more usernames available again. But maybe that could be changed otherwise?

The answer to that is on page 41 of this thread.

What concerns the GDF' s content, it think we can say it mostly treats current events.

Duh? That's why I want it to be changed to current events so there can be other forum(s) for other material. Expanding the forums and it's capacity to cater to more people's interests.
