Far be it for me to ruin such a positive thread, but can we have todays featured scooby changed and updated regularly now?

Still waiting for a reply. No point me upgrading to full member with this sort of response (or lack of it) at this stage.

Has the potential to become better, but....

One problem with the removal of the infraction system is that it has allowed certain permenently banned ex-members to begin posting their particular blend of trolling, misinformation and insults again. This is unfortunate for a number of reasons, not least because of the amount of time needed to police such disruptive posters.

If the infraction system had any merits it was to allow the community the chance to ban these sorts as soon as they appeared trolling under whichever their many many aliases they chose in their attempts to bring as much dischord to the forum as they possibly can.

Sadly, this has now begun happening again on a daily, almost hourly basis and seems set to increase unless some form of prevention exists.

So report them then. It requires little extra effort to infracting them and allows a panel of chosen moderators to decide what to do about it, as opposed to just one member tarnishing anothers reputation with his singular view.

With regards your instaban ability, that hasnt changed anyway, you can still do it.

Well that's one view.

An alternative one could be that certain members were banned as a result of the infraction system being abused by certain individuals.

The so called Perma-banned are around again, stimulating healthy debate, as usual, can't be a bad thing, surely?

Keep up the good work Stewart and Team, so far very good

So far, so good!

I do feel some people need to put the past behind them along with the histrionics.

Things will not change overnight so i think it only right and proper to give the new owners and new webmaster a fair chance!

Possibly the wisest string of words I have seen on ScoobyNet.

It's looking good imo. At least one of the most vile and disruptive username trolls from the past few years seems to have been eradicated, and hopefully we should never see this particular type of distasteful person posting again on SN.

Hopefully sense will continue to prevail, and the most disruptive users (as thought so by the majority), especially those who seem to think they are the star of their own little SN reality show, unable to control their urges will once again be banned.

As SDB once said, it's not all about you
