Ok Ive been doing some thinking on what I think is needed around here. Ive been reading other posts about stopping new members from posting or posting in general places except tech support. At 1st I was like yeah good idea Im tired of seeing trolls pictures all over the forums. But then after reading more posts I changed my mind. I dont think its fair to punish all new members because of one sick troll. So heres what I think this site needs.
1) better moderation and maybe more mods that can deal with the trolls early on and so the mods we have now wont have to be over worked trying to stop this.
2) an ignore button so we have an option top ignore people who harrass us.
3) The flag button should be made to where you have to give a reason for why you are flagging instead of just saying spam but why is it spam and that it only goes to the mods.
4) there should be no flag count on peoples profiles. That only encouraged trolls to flag posts to make a user look bad.
5) there should be a way that users can hide their stats if they dont want other people to know how many disagrees or agrees they have. Or the disagree count needs to be hidden in profiles. Not saying to remove the ability to disagree but to make it so its not publicly displayed.
People have the right to disagree with you but it shouldnt have to be openly on your profile. The only reason I feel this needs to be done is because people are abusing the disagree and flag buttons. And the site needs to be more moderated so people cant post dirty pictures because no one no matter how old you are should have to see this on a sims site.

I think they need someone like that - even if it is just locking threads, but not banning people.
EDIT:
Crinrict is what they are called.

It's more a case of moderators in time-zones really - not just one who is there for 5 hours out of 24 hours. They may already have 10 moderators who are all in the same time-zone.
I don't use this feature. How did it mess up the forum?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but if you disagree with someone you should be prepared to say why. Hopefully this will deter the stalkers.
As for new members the way they are treated demonstrates lack of trust. While we have a few who spoil the Forum the vast majority are sensible and have valid points to make, not to mention being part of the community on the old site
