how bout we have certain areas, where everyone would be allowed to read, but only selected members would be able to post? Also I hate to say it, but I think this forum needs an age limit. I'd have it so only those who are 16 or older would be able to join. The would help cut down the childish posts that are increasing.
And how do we achieve that? How can we impose an age limit? By asking if he's older than 16?
One thing is trying to ignore a bully who is capable of phisically harassing you. Another thing is ignoring text on a monitor.

I hate it when people tell me that. That is what my parents and teachers told me to do with my bullies at school. Newflash, it didn't work.

Warbler, I totally understand your point of view and I agree with you. I hate these trolls as much as you do, as much as all the older, serious users do, but I don't think it's fair to blame Jay for omission. He is doing what he can do under the situation and under what he has specified for this forum. Maybe with the new software he might come up with something that might make this matter a bit better...
