As this forum grows so does the problems.
As of recent we have had a number of spam attacks.
New members and also old members are starting new threads where there is already a dedicated thread on the subject.
Please use the custom Google search that you will find on the navigation toolbar and also at the very bottom of the page.
This practise of starting new threads is making the use of the forum disjointed and hard to navigate.
We will not tolerate any political opinions or views.
Negative comments on peoples professions, lifestyle or social status, everyone is equal on TSF.
Starting this weekend new members will be locked and only be able to post in the introduction thread, once they have posted they will have the ability to post through out the forum.
All the giveaways will be done in the buy/sell/trade section. only members with 50 quality posts will be able to post or reply. To determine the 50 quality posts I and the staff will review the members posts if they meet the requirements then they will gain access.
A post like " that's cool" or "nice" will not count.
The giveaways are a reward that one member gives to the community, it should be for participation in discussion and dialogue.
At times these give away take away from the forum and the original purpose of the forum.
Someday I log on and it feels that this forum has turn into a lottery site.
I have sent out emails when giveaways happen and submarine members pop up and post.
That's the only time the show is for a giveaway.
This forum is not about the number of members we have but the quality of the information available.
At the moment we have 270 or so members, I will be culling members this weekend, we have members that joined 2 years ago and have never logged in or are inactive.
These accounts will be deleted, if they want they can always rejoin.
Our members that have passed away their accounts shall remain as they are in memory of their hard work.
