Options with the forum: All new members are moderated (they post but you have to validate the post before it is visible to other visitors, if they are posting non suitable posts you can send them to coventry (put them in a user group that no one else can see, they post their messages they can see them and think everyone else can... but they can't :) so they then talk to themselves :) Or take on a couple of volunteer forum moderators, someone who is active in forums and can spare a couple of hours a week checking and pruning your board. Heck right me a copy and ill setup and moderate it for 6 months for you!! :) Hi Ray,
