By coded messages i mean that this would include using initials of words that others might not understand so they can some way make themselves seem superior, why i don't know. This is an international and inter continental forum and we should all be sure that others (everyone) can understand what they are saying. Rgds Ian
QUOTE: Originally posted by Railroading_Brit Sorry, but I feel a "subscribers only" area wouldn't help - the same goes for charging. At the moment these forums have a very good atmosphere with only the occasional troll mangling things. Personally I wouldn't join a forum that demanded my full name either - I'm very cautious about identity theft and similar security risks. Let's keep all members equal and carry on as we are - I'd say that 99% of the time this place works very well, and I'd also say that two or three troll attacks in a year is a lot better than some forums put up with. We have a great community in these forums, so why change it?
