    Precious?

    Fuckwit account pops up, you delete it and low and behold another one springs in to life minutes later, as said, give over.

    There's about 200+ spam accounts on this site that are inactive and start generating shite at any given time. You've only seen one that happened to coincide with me binning another. The IP doesn't match nor does the email address so whilst your deserved desire to clean up the site is well appreciated, don't put 2 and 2 together to make 5. So do one with the 'give over' bollocks.

    You think the really determined ones use the same email and IP?

    Last comment on this topic because it's frankly boring. Fox and horses's email and IP is a variation on a previous ID that was banned. So yes, they do tend to use the same email address and moniker. The automated ones (the majority on this site) do as well so we can spot them a mile off and they get nailed as and when we and others spot them. Random individual ones are easy to spot and Firehorse may well turn out to be one but he isn't at the moment. The so-called determined ones tend to be automated and post from the same IP so whether you choose to believe this or not is your call, it bothers me not one jot. I have a fairly good idea of how it works so if you disagree, crack on as it makes no difference. Really.

    As you say, Firehouse may or may not be a troll, however we know for definite that Firehorse is not.
    Please let's be careful about who gets hoofed.
    Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:
    "If however you offer to moderate you may be a sanctimonious, unfunny pissflap to your heart's content."

    Some comments are allegedly "very very nasty and uncalled for."
