Dear Mr. Admin, is there an easy way to limit the posting to only "identifiable" personalities? It seems that some anon posters find it easy to be rude and obnoxious knowing their identy is hidden. One recent anon thread about a bad business dealing turned into a flame about girlfriends! Last week this forum was great with loads of good questions and good answers. This week the flamers are out. Next week? Who knows :sad:

Hi Arcsrule

this is a problem of every forum, where you don't have to log in, that sometimes postings with very negative, not constructive and bad mouthing content will appear. Compared to other forums there are only quiet a few of these postings, please keep it that way.

If something really severe will be posted, we will delete and erase things, lettimg you know about it.
Also posters will be given a chance to post informative stuff or ask normal things.
If not, they will be banned anyway.
Please, we are not interested in such actions, since we are all mature enough, and, more important, all kitesurfers, which should be together as a big community and treat everyone else as friend. You never know if this person might save your life one day...

If you want to let us know about anything bad that happend to you or you are disappointed in something, try to post it neutral and informative, since we don't know the background and sometimes can only listen to one side.

Thanks!

And now have fun again!

Ya Toby - remember the woman from Hatteras looking for some guy who "stole" her and his kid in the DR? I'm actually glad you clipped the comments I made in haste, and then trashed the whole thread.
Good editing.

Jim
