It appears that a great deal of the disquiet on the Speakers Corner and other non-bike related threads is caused by so called "newbies". Just a suggestion, but IMHO it would be a good idea to make all threads SUBSCRIBER ONLY posting, unless it is a direct DUCATI related thread. After all who wants to join in a debate on politics unless they really knew who they were talking to and had already formed a relationship with on the main bike forums. Secondly it would mean that they had invested £5 into the forum, allowing an additional form of verification on there true identity. I believe this £5 investment would mean a great deal of these 2nd / 3rd user accounts would cease. Also if a user cannot be arsed to invest £5 in this fantastic forum, do we really want to listen to them anyway? It would allow newbies to ask questions on bikes, without heading into troubled waters.... Just my thoughts.
Bit elitist and overreaction to one or two people you don’t like Be better to ban emoji only or less than 30 character and over 200 character posts
There's 31 - I was seeing if the Emoji restriction could be steered around with the less than 31 character rule - it worked
Bring back the old Emoji's or give us more - we have very complex relations on here and cannot express ourselves accurately, thus causing fall outs
