** Please don't shoot me **
It seems at the moment that there's a spate of 'sub-standard' posts floating around Scoobynet. No, not the muppet ones (which are a laugh) but the ones that start to insult or just abuse the BBS (ie Advertising).
Couldn't Scoobynet introduce authenticated accounts of some type? That way the moderators would have to activate an account once it's entered and would have the power to delete it and prevent a user creating a new one. I realise that this would increase workload on the admins but it could also increase the quality of the BBS massively.
just a though... if you don't like it remove me

It's an idea. Except how would we know who was a good un, or a bad un before they started posting?. Another way would be all new users would go on a 30 day probation. Everytime a user gets warned about behaviour it 'loses a life' lose 3 lives and it's deactivated.
However trouble with this is
A/ People could misuse the system
B/ It makes SN a hostile place and so we'd lose an element of friendlyness.
C/ Deactivated users can just be re-registered under a different name
D/ It would require a revamp of the software to get it to work.
Personally I like the idea of 'User Ratings' you get them on other BBS's. Other people can 'rate' you as a contributer and behavoir; A little like the feedback on Ebay.

Keep up the good work though. I don't even own a Scooby any more but keep coming back...
