Well I guess you have your reasons but I did think I made fair comment about suspending one person who changed from using their real name to the organisation in good faith.

Mean while others have changed from using a faulse name to intitials.

If you are looking at ways to make this system fair I thought that was a very good example.

I will leave it with you

Antj, are you suggesting that someone else has been using two id's at the same time?

If so hit the delete button under one of the offending posts with a note to the site administrators about why you think that is the case.
I don't think changing ID's is an issue, using two at once is.

As I've pointed out earlier I'm not part of the site management so I don't understand why some comments directed at me are phrased as though it is expected that I can do more than any other poster about peoples behaviour.

“Antj, are you suggesting that someone else has been using two id's at the same time?”

Yes, pale. Are you accusing someone? That would get the culprit banned wouldn’t it – just like when pale and wendy did it?

I don’t think it is very fair to Robert that posters try and involve him in their own mischief either. He is just a poster like the rest of us and doesn’t need the hassle or to feel that he needs to ‘take sides’. I believe he started this thread to gather suggestions not to set himself up as some sort of agony aunt.

Antje is obviously aiming at PF and Pig Farmer. There is no rule against using two IDs unless you are using them to subvert the rules of the forum, such as those on numbers of posts, or on suspensions. If Pig Farmer wanted to retire her Pig Farmer name and post under PF that's her prerogative. Just as it was OK for Wendy to change the name under which she posted.

In other words, you can't have two active IDs, but you can have two IDs.

I think that some posters are under the false impression that if
a poster starts a thread, its kind of "their" thread, they own
it or whatever, or have some responsibility towards it and those
posting there.

IMHO that is totally false. Its simply an idea for discussion,
anyone can participate and nobody has any kind of responsibility
towards "babysitting" that thread

PF and Yabby thanks for the comments. I neither have the power or interest to police others actions. If I spot an obvious breach of rules I'll hit the recommend deletion button. Occasionally I'll drop in a post trying to give an indepenent perspective if another poster seems to have really misinterpretted where someone is coming from or do a bit of searching if I think collating some bit's and pieces will help clear things up but that's about as far as it goes.
