Thanks Colin and everyone who added suggestions!

Many thanks again Colin (and Jon of course).

How about a new member who is forced to post nonsensical posts in order to raise their post counts. Lena01 seems to be doing it right now.

Yes I think you are right about that particular poster.
Moderators already have 'secret ways' of managing such individuals!

However there is no point in anyone doing that - they can upload zip files from post 1

BTW This poll has now closed 'officially'
Many of the ideas have now been added to the forum

Hi Tony

And I was trying to keep your secret ways secret...!

 

[pbaldy]

great fun for moderators with a vindictive streak such as myself...

It must be a job requirement. It is fun when you can ban them while they're posting.

That is a very succinct way of summing up why I am here.

I have tried other MS Access forums and some of the conditions imposed on you... well..

As for stack overflow I tried to get traction on there and actually deleted my account, well as far as I could. I had to reinstate it because it was the only place I could get useful information on Google apps script.

There's nothing out there like this forum for apps script and Python, not that I found yet anyway..

I agree totally.
I joined several other forums before this one but in different ways found all the others less than satisfactory.
The worst in my view is 'Experts Exchange' - see my comment in post #34

Colin, I have to agree about "Experts Exchange." I joined it for a problem related to Outlook on my home network. When I scanned some of the other posts, I saw some links by Pat Hartman, who is of course a long-time member here, so I thought it might be OK. I eventually solved the problem myself because their experts were not as helpful as I had hoped. No disrespect intended to any of them; it was just a problem requiring registry twiddling and they didn't appear to want to go there.

This forum continues to have what I consider to be the best group of contributors of the lot that I have seen out there. That is why I remain here even though retired. It keeps me mentally active and in communication, however tenuous, with highly technical people.

Apart from anything else, I doubt any other forum owner would have responded to the contents of a thread like this.

Another reason why my main activity is this site.
I still look at others but much less often
