They may say that, but I think it's more to do with keeping the number of registered users as high as possible to increase ad revenue. Not that I'm cynical.

Any decent forum software can remove or deactivate users without having to remove posts.

Hi Simon,

I've unbanned your account, please don't refer to rocktalk as cocktalk.

Cheers,

Paul Phillips, Chief Technical Developer.

Apparently using the word in a post, automatically triggers a ban :devil-smiley:
