I'm assuming you meant to post this on Brunneria's suggestion thread! I can make prefixes mandatory if you think they're not obvious enough
I only have admiration for the moderators of this very large forum .....not any easy job and a lot of personal time commitment ...Your report has been viewed and no action will be taken.
When a member hits the report button with a concern, depending on what the report is about, it gets dealt with or it is reassigned
Best wishes RRB.
How true ....this can then become a us and them game ...which maybe harmful to individuals ....I really do understand, but some members,( certainly not genuine newbies who need our help, advice and support) need to walk away. Part of the problem is that we are anonymous, some hide behind that screen and just type way with a total disregard of what they are knowingly doing. Some also have many different guises too
Best wishes RRB
This surprises me . I still have a reply in my inbox from Dan dated 29th April 2009 (shows I don't use PM that much!) It is his reply when I told him that I had previous name As a relative newcomer to forums I allowed myself to be bullied off the forum by a now banned membe) When I had recovered from the upset it caused me, I came back under another name some time later. This was as a result of him asking people to tell him if they had more than one account otherwise people with more than one account would be banned from the forum .It's not uncommon for users to adopt more than one identity. This isn't directly against our rules unless one of their accounts is banned. It's not exactly hard to figure out when people are using more than one account

I certainly know of people that have had more than one incarnation at the same time as well as the reincarnation of banned members. I assumed that was possible because they knew how to circumvent the system.
Personally I think that multiple accounts, sock puppets call them what you will should not be allowed and anyone with multiple accounts should be banned I see no reason to have them except to cause trouble. If someone has left for whatever reason then wants to return under a different name then so long as the admin / mods are aware then that's ok.
But one person one account.
There are some wonderful people on here I see the same names time after time being welcoming to new members, never tiring of giving the same advice and reassurances to those with worries and questions. Perhaps we could have a special title awarded to them in recognition of the kindness they show.
The whole my diet is best thing does get a little tedious at times perhaps a debate forum where derailment of threads could be moved if things get out of hand, another forum I use has a version of this called the pit where the argumentative types can have at it without spoiling the rest of the forums.

She was first and foremost in my list tooI nominate @Bluetit1802
Her consistent considerate posts on the Newbie threads are fantastic.
And she even pipes up when the 'my diet is best' bickering breaks out.

Oh how I miss those voicesWell, I suppose it's better than chatting with the voices in our heads.
(For the record, I don't have multiple accounts.)

imagine a regular poster making a new name then coming on here pretending to be new and asking questions only to eventually support their own dietary views, imagine how pathetic! they must feel if they got busted, glad that didnt ever happen
