new members-strange names

codonly

Well-known member
seems to be a lot of members joining this site with strange names,and not posting anything.
anyone got any thoughts on this?
 
People just wanting to look at the catch reports.
No interest in posting so just use silly names,no doubt thinking that is really geet clever
 
Spammers Stevie, as they join I delete them. That is why everyone joining now has to be verified before they can post mate. It saves having to delete loads of rubbish from the forum. I did almost twenty today at tea time, another few waiting already.

Of course,i stand corrected but the verifaction system is far better then those daft number/letter combos.
They never seem to work for me
 
Spammers. All the forums are being plagued by them at the minute. We currently have a system in place so all new members have to get admin approval before they are let loose :rolleyes: Thats why they try to register then dont post - they have been banned:D
 
Been stacks turning up on the evening chron/journal forums I've noticed, same thing everytime - some daft websites claiming to sell cheap branded footwear, all of them registered to various chinese names (all variations on similar names too).
 
Strange names? Take a look at some senior members, moderators and administrators. Do these names appear on your birth certificates? I think not.

and not posting anything.
think you missed the point.and its also been explained for you by the people with silly names
 
I understand the bit about them not posting, but why does everyone use silly names?

To escape the hum drum that is normality :rolleyes::o:p:D

2 key facets to my nom de plume which are in fact correct and true...

  1. I am in fact Great
  2. I do happen to live in Wallsend

Couple that with the inference given by my user name that I possess magical powers....this is also true - I possess the ability to catch Cod!!!
 
im content being called the plum , whats wrong with that ?your only jel cos my fladden suits brighter than yours hehe lol:o:D
 
i`ve been a member for years but following a stroke two and a half years ago it`s almost impossible to to go fishing anymore. (dvla reclaimed my driving licence) i still look in on the site every day though. even though i live almost 90mls from nearest beach. so i hope that my strange name wont bother anyone ?

Sorry to hear about your health FINN, that certainly put things into context. Not getting out very often myself now, spinal surgery a year ago has left me struggling to walk or stand for any length of time. It must be a real pain not being able to drive though, I wasn't able to drive for a few months last year and was climbing the wall. The PC must be a bit of a Godsend for you, as mine is to me at least you can keep in touch with friends. Keep looking in mate, good to hear from you again.

Know where your comming from Jim & Finn. Had an accident in 2001 which left me in traction for 3 months with a damaged spine. Plays hell when your casting. Fortunatley I am still allowed to drive but sometimes it gets so bad its best not to. Its at times like those when sites like NESA are a godsend ( despite all the silly names ) No matter what you use as a name everyone on this site has showed nothing but friendship to me since I joined and I am proud to be a member of NESA.
Its still good how one comment on here can stretch a thread out into something different.

I apologise if you are indeed an angler Ms Natasha....and if you are also indeed Sexy then all for the good as far as the North East fishing scene goes...
