First Troll - And a moderation policy
Well that didn't take long, less than a week and we've had the first person sign up just to post abusive stuff on the forum and on peoples photos.
The most tedious part about running online communities is trolls and how to moderate them.
So, basically this is the story. We're here to discuss, meet people and generally have a good time. Nobody has the inclination to deal with people just here to mess that up.
With that in mind, I'm going to have a bit of a zero tolerance for spammers and people who are just here to make a mess or be abusive. I'm just going to ban them straight away.
I think that will make the place more fun for everyone that way.
Comments welcome :)

Hi Damien - Good site. I support your tolerance position.
A suggestion: Post your "acceptable use" policy in the Welcome, Annoucements section on the main page (ie just above the bikerepairs.com link). Would help set expectations for new members, and serve as a useful reminder to regulars who are having a bad day.
Keep up the good work!
