Well I never said it would
. What I said was now there is zero excuse for not reading it
.
As in regards setting it up as a moderated forum (ie a forum which posts have to to read by mods/ admins before they become visable): that was tried about 2 years ago on the epsxe forum.
Basically all that happened back then was that when folks posted a new thread, and didn't see it appear on the list, they immediately thought the board was playing up and created another thread. And Another. Then created yet another in a different forum. So it means we have about 3 times the amount of rubbish to deal with than if we just leave it be.
Really, the only 100% sucessful method of stopping dumb posts is to shut it down permentely... however that is not an option.
