j1mgg 3,766 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Just with the amount of new members we have recently and the amount that seem to get banned would it not be better to just not accept any new members at the moment?I know there will be some genuine fans that are just trying to get the latest info, but there seems to be an awful lot that are just blatant kiddie fiddlersWATPBJKNO SURRENDERMALARKY Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 72,446 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 It’s a tough one as many out there may want to join who are genuine bears who want to be part of this site as we go through our darkest period in this clubs history but as we all know there are an element of sad individuals out there who will want to shit stir on a rivals forum. It may be a good idea to suspend any new registrations until this period is over and we know where we stand but there are pro’s and con’s to everything and this is no different.

delamonty 992 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 No. Pretty sure Bears who just normally have a read feel the need to get involved. Of course 'they' also join, but it's pretty obvious who they are and just need to be ignored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 New members joining or lots of guests looking in = Money for the forum.So it wouldn't be in the forums best interests to shut the doors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstamomusa 3,811 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 No. Pretty sure Bears who just normally have a read feel the need to get involved.

Alnic3856 358 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 No offence mate but thats a fucking dumb idea,I only recently joined but I can assure you I have been a diehard bluenose fucking Rangers supporter for 24 years, only recently with the amount of shit we have had to endure I felt the need to become more involved with the wider Rangers community, mostly because I am military and due to head of to Afghanistan again in the very near future, This forum will give me the ability to keep in touch with events back home involving the club as coverage of all things scottish football isnt easy to come buy in a predominatly english unit.There will always be fucking reptiles poking there nose in, let them, we will laugh loudest in the long run.

BlueThunder 8,454 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Simply add a checkbox during signup that says "I acknowledge Rangers are, and always will be, a greater club than Celtic!'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitch 364 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I voted no because stopping people joining would deprive more bears than taigs.You can tell the tims anyway, they're either usually more proddy than the Rev Paisley or pretend to be more 'progressive', the type that like to get wee digs in about how we shouldn't have spent so much or we should pay the taxes. Some will sit and preach about how too many fans are bigots and they're no' like that at aw.Why should anyone deny a bear's right to sit and read other peoples opinions on their club just because of a few sad taigs that want to pretend to be Rangers fans? Surely these timposters will have to say something positive about the Gers at some point to ingratiate themselves, making them hypocrites as well as smelly fucks.

al-ger 0 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Don't think it's a good idea - though maybe I would do as I'm new too! You'll probably find that lots of the guests are like me (though obviously i've registered now) in that they come on the board for info during the transfer windows or at a time like this and don't really have a need or the time to post. I was looking at the board for about a year and a half before bothering to sign up. Anyone joining up simply for the wind up factor will be found out pretty quickly and will soon get bored anyway. As stated it's also through allowing as many people as possible to view the site that the board will be financed (I doubt it makes any substantial money in the form of profit, could be wrong though) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian 4,281 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I suggested a couple of things on another thread.Putting new members in premoderation for a period of time, so their posts don't make the board til they have been approved.Create a Timwatch sticky where bears can highlight suspect timposters and the admins can deal with them if needed. It can be tricky at times catching an admin on when someone is at it.The report poster or post button doesn't seem to work. It says I don't have permissions to use it. It was this that prompted my Timwatch idea.None of this affects new members ability to post. It just limits what timmy can get up to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
