Thanks Strangeways

Appreciate the clarity in your posting and agree with your points. Just the wording of the email and my interpretation. Just seemed a bit harsh at the time but with your explanation - its all good.

To others with regard to 2 way street and what you make of it, what you put in - totally agree BUT im one that sits back until comfortable posting. Some like to post and get totally involved. Me - it takes a few months as I sit back and get a feel for the place . If i dont post and get "culled" its all good I can sign back up :) Problem solved. Apologies for the word "ban"

cheers

Seems reasonable to me; I don't see any problem with culling accounts that are inactive. It is not such a big deal to make one post (or 300).

You put me onto a guy that had a Midway Monster Gun.

I can understand the need to keep accounts accurate etc, so it seems mroe than fair to remove "dead users".

I think maybe a generic "Guest Account" be created by Admin, and new users can login as GUEST to lurk/watch/read whatever they like, with no POST access.

This will greatly reduce the number of curious members who signup and never return.
I understand many people like to read & learn from forums without ever needing to participate, nothing wrong with that, and there's no need to create dead-user accounts.

Users who finally decide to join in, can then choose to create a new account.

I used to run a BBS (Bulletin Board Service) way before internet was in your homes, so i know the frustration of dead-user accounts  ^.^

Hope this helps?
MM.

Then hello Sundaze! The pokie has loooong gone and gradually got swapped / upgraded to a hot red 1959 version.
 Monster Gun is still here.. love that game.

Hows your garage going?? Was packed with pins when i saw it
