I small charge across the board wouldn't be unfair, especially as we'd like to upload pictures, and that costs. It would also keep the trolls out. Most other forums do it.



The issue related to image upload and any additional cost that this could bring have now been resolved, whereby all graphics are "Linked" from a ttwebsite posting, back to their original server location and therefore any server space and bandwidth issues have been negated (I hope).

I made a posting in the  "Your Photos & Video Shots etc earlier today" - http://www.ttwebsite.com/forums/showthre...?tid=18350 related to graphics uploads/appearance etc and the only thing that I request and would really like everyone to comply with, is that sizing is checked and kept to an acceptable size for viewing within a posting.

Trolls: -

I monitor the site continuously and the manner in which registration is performed, denies access to the greater majority of SPAM bots and other SPAM/HACK items. 

Unfortunately every now and again one or two try to register manually, however they still cannot gain access to the forums until they have been manually checked out, by cross referencing names, locations and the IP address that their registration is made from. Any dubious location or IP is immediately banned or deleted.

Every now and again an innocent person gets caught in the banning and/or deletion, however if they are genuine, invariably they make contact via the email address on the site, and after verification of their identity, access is usually granted.

Things I will not tolerate under any circumstance is abuse of the site and the people who use it. Neither will I tolerate non-compliance with the T&C's of the site and if people have not read the T&C's , and then do something that is contrary to these, then they can expect to receive an email from me, pointing out their error.


(You should have read the T&C's at the point of Forum registration, so don't come crying, if you haven't )
