I agree, I think mederation is the key, Ihave seen of late, especially after bob
announced he was leaving rgcc a few new names that turned up on here and started
to have a go at him, and even a few new names that were making extreme comments
about the cheating issue.

I think if a new person makes some comment which you can clearly see is not
constructive, then a warning should go to him via email, And then if they
persist to make useless comments or attack fellow members then you just get rid
of them.

I mean people like sean and others who have spent their whole life in rgcc or
other forums making, after a short while will not be able to help themselves,
and they will post something that will show them out. I suspect a few people now
have just come from rgcc since bob left and are making some comments in here
which are niether constructive but are more on the negative side to just stir.
