Although like a lot of other people I suspect I don't contribute here but I do read (often in despair recently) a lot of the threads, some informative some not but linked in with Tom's point about behaviour I do wonder whether it would be better if some of the forum was removed from the public domain and made accessible/viewable only to signed in and known members, although they don't have a problem with abuse the talkawhile forum do something similar but their software may make that easier to administer.
