	Thanks Dea, Can I have two please. Feeling a little greedy. Jax I know what you mean. The freedom is good but it seems to get abused more and more these days and I would like to see moderators. I get the feeling that they don't have much experience of moderators and instead of researching it made a point blank decision. Could be wrong though.

	I didnt particularly want moderators meself anyway..But then again I is a good girl and keep me tongue in check..Most of the time.. Nothing about bringing the time back on posts then?? Nor sorting out the boards a little better or getting rid of the stupid Surnames filter.. Still got LOADS of choccies left from my bufdy,not sharing them either,so they last longer.;)

	When I was a moderator of a site you could see the IP addresses of anyone who logged in so if someone was banned then came back on with a new name you could ban them again, which they dont seem to do here?? maybe I'm wrong There should be people around say from 8 a.m till midnight just to be aware if request review is clicked to act on it rather than wait 24 hours for it to be looked at. ja...x

	Thats interesting Jax, I didn't know that, so it should be possible to keep banned people banned. Perhaps you need to mention it to GR

	It also obviously happened on a games site I was on. HID tried to play the same quiz game I was good at and because they used to repeat the questions he was banned because they thought it was me playing in his name (well I was a bit) lol, Same with online poker we could both play but not in the same table. ja...x

	So maybe it's not just the site which needs updating but the techies

	Looking at the FB page it makes it sound like there is argueing and bad mouthing going on all the time. Maybe its different with banning people if the are actually paying money? ja...x

	This morning I asked GR on FB a question relating to duty of care of its members and why they do not wish to introduce moderators. GR after ignoring it for a while posted an answer on FB and the top of all the boards on this site. They also opened a discussion thread on FB.

	Yes, I get lots of hugs on here R. They are a lot more welcome than the Slaps that Fans sends to me !! Dea x

	Posted on the boards here Sylvs.........by the way, do you ever read messages over there???? sigh. Well, I phoned up to chase my internet order today and was told that I would be put back online at 6.26pm! I waited until 6.40 and tested it out. Have got the homepage up okay but cannot search. When I click on Tools it tells me that Work Offline is ticked but even when I untick it, I still cannot search. Am back to using my dongle at the mo and will see what happens tomorrow......unless anyone has any ideas of course.... Why am I asking you lot? Not a tekkie among you really. huh
