Would it be possible for the editor to tell us what protocol they adopt to deal with users who post insulting/abusing/rude messages? For example is there a warning e-mail directly to them, is there a...
How about a pop up advertisement type of box that says:- "If you are going to ask anything about Blanks, Hooters, Tasty Bran Flakes, cowboys, Malboro or anything else that's been answered ten thousand...
Following the great replies I had to my last (huge) question, I thought id give an update. Things are still a bit well, iffy. My g/f told me that she wanted me to back off a little & that she needed...
