It's quite clear that some have 2 usernames or maybe even more, just to back themselves up.
This board, and any other board, has a range of differing ages, cultures and backgrounds, which I feel is important.
What this board must not become, is a free speech forum. If people want a free speech forum, there are many boards that will take peoples racist and abusive views with pleasure.
Debating is good, telling someone they are thick/need to brush up on reading/spelling/knowledge skills, or telling them to shut up (the list is endless) is trying to cause an arguement.
Don't let the debating end, but the personal comments should stop. If you want an arguement, go into your town centre on a Friday night, and someone will give you what you want.
When I first arrived here, the majority were friendly, now it's out of control.
My suggestion, is that any future registrations have to be approved my James, Mark etc etc first, and you must only sign up with an e-mail address from your ISP provider. (No hotmail/gmail etc etc) as that way, any trouble makers can be reported to their ISP.
I hope the new warnings system works, it's not nice having to have something like this in place, but the minority spoil it for the rest of us.

That's a really interesting viewpoint ITH, I quite like the idea of signing up with your ISP's email address as it makes life easier for those with the power of the forum to make complaints. Like you say, with hotmail you can be nearly anonymous!
