Dear Admin
I have enjoyed reading and participating on the forum for a while. I have enjoyed a laugh a few spats and on the whole discussed topics with a few who I hopefully neet and share a pint with in the real world someday. I find the forum mostly a balance of views and a space I can share my views. As most of you know I am not a fan of Mr Bently for reasons discussed previously. Now to the point. Keith and the other admin do s great job and as other have said give time and money so we can post on the forum. Quite rightly there are rules of engagement and if those rules are breached there is a sanction of being put off the forum. I now find go my dismay at least nine topics from a few ( and one copy cat topic Mr Potatohead out, which is fair enough) all goading Keith and saying the same thing. To be fair the admin are pretty tolerant and give warnings ( too many in my opinion ) before the final sanction. Now to stop Keith being criticised by the few I give him my support just to kick these off the forum now without warnings and encourage others to do the same. Either that give me admin privileges for an hour and I will do so but I am sure the current admin has sufficient balls to do it. I The only thing is how do you stop them coming back with new identities as obviously these are reincarnations of those departed previously. I will let those who are not Luddite s sort that out. Yours Doonhamer.

Thanks for the support. Despite the paranoid delusions of the few repeat offenders, I try to be tolerant of views that differ from my own (including Doonhamer's) Sadly, some (at least one of which I think is a Lancaster fan, trying to wind people up) aren't able to offer opinion or enter a discussion.

Most of their poo has been cleaned up and tonight's numpties banned.

Just so they know, it takes me literally four clicks to delete or de-activate their new account. That's a lot less time than it took to make the new email and register, then post!

Thank you for trying to be tolerant of me.

Well done Keith and thanks for all your work.

You are doing a great job, Keith. Keep going and get rid of these idiots.

Totally agree with the above, but I would actually go further and put a complete stop on accepting any new posters on OUR forum which may be too radical for some but for me it's the only way to bring back any sense of normality to a forum which has over the years provided a much needed voice for fans who only want what is in their opinion the best for OUR club.

To be fair, this was always going to happen when they shut the Moor Hospital and the Royal Albert.

Yes, and unfortunately the internet gives such people a platform. Before it, you could just ignore the nutter on the bus or the idiot in the pub - not as easy now they can play to a huge audience.

Keep up the good work Keith - we do appreciate your efforts.

Hope the numpties will eventually get bored and go to play somewhere else......

Why do you want me tossing off doonhammer?

Sorry Neil but I have to disagree. New blood is more than welcome so that we're not constantly listening to the same opinions from the same minority of posters. What we do need is for those new members to stick to the rules. At the end of the day though, regardless of our own individual opinions, this is a (mostly) benevolent dictatorship, and I for one am happy to continue to bow obeisance at the feet of the great and powerful Mr Keith Fitton.

You've reminded me of the time I was running a meeting and a management team member referred to me as a benign dictator. I replied 'What do you mean, benign????'

Imagine a world where we had to read unlimited unanswered posts from yourself CC.

Thanks folks. I've change settings so that all new accounts have to be manually approved. I'd like to be able to return it to 'open' at some point when the idiots have found somewhere else to play. I thought they'd set up their own 'Bentley out' Facebook page.
