I definately agree that the board has gone down a little bit in general and appreciate rluz for bringing it up. What are other message boards like SOS doing? I have a couple of ideas: all new posters have a probationary period where they have to wait a certain time before they can post after they register. In that period, they can be gotten rid of much easier than someone who has been here for years and knows the rules. I think that if you make posters observe for a while (like I did years ago when I joined) before you post, they will know that this is not the ESPN message board. Another benefit would be that it would keep away trolls who would want to post right away and would not be willing to wait.
