I've been on forums where you are not allowed, for example, to enter the buying and selling section until you have been a member for a month and made 25 meaningful posts in other sections. Other sites insist you introduce yourself. Others again, have to have their first 5 posts approved by a moderator. Why admin won’t do something like that on here for the GD is a mystery - I’ve lost count of those that have signed up and made their first hundred posts in the GD, with not a hint of DIY about them. You can tell a troll or someone with more than one account in here a mile away when they sign up then steam straight into the GD and seem to have intimate knowledge of other members, they never answer when I ask what led them to the site - who the fùck signs up to a DIY site solely to discuss Brexit, the Conservatives or asylum seekers?
