   Sorry nota, this is about either banning someone or getting someone to screen the offensive comments so they don't get into the Italian comments section. We haven't gotten to the right person for that, yet. That person probably won't need a translator,.and will use one if they do. Some of the Italian regulars came here, hoping to get in touch with somebody. I'm with you, banning doesn't solve the problem in the long run. There's no substitute for conscientious moderation in the comments section. Even though some (or all) are volunteers and I don't want to give them more work, it seems the only solution that permanently solves the problem. By the way, wondering if you had any success with your computer issues? Waiting for your post in that thread. I'm assuming you're still working on it.

   Thanks w13 not had time to try all suggestions offered although I do thank all kind persons who offered advice. I somehow lost link to thread and only printed one or two as luck is not with me I guess printer ran out of black ink about same time. If not for bad luck would not have any!!...Mother is dong better so perhaps I will have more time to try to figure out this mess of mine. Either that or I will find a person willing to hire a 57 yr old woman and can save enough to get a new computer....or maybe hit the lottery!!! That would be a hoot huh...I could give Whiterabbit his own web site!! You Too for that matter!!...We could call it Computers for idiots....lol

   Hello,

   more than 1 year is passed since the last post of this thread, and I want to put again the attention to the situation of Italian section.
   We haven't only "Giovi69" between us, but also another figure called "Cerbotto"; they posts ironics messages almost every day, defining themselves "Special Ones" and "geeks" with an "incredibly fluent english", and writings a lot of off-topics and grotesque messages... "Cerbotto" also says to conquers a lot of girls on the beach thanks to his fluent english (from this, you can understand what is their level of comments!!!).

   But, I think they're funny and not offensive (even if they call the other italian people "poor devils" because in our country most of us don't know English very well), and some users says to go on Giveaway website only to read their funny comments. So I don't think is this the problem.

   The problem is that now in our section there is a very "strange" moderation, and our comments are published after 4-5 hours they has been writing.
   This moderation was caused by an unsubstainable situation in this section in the past months, due to offensive message written by some stupid people (not Giovi or Cerbotto, but "Fiorella" and other users).

   Honestly speaking, I don't know if this moderation is a good method, because now is absolutely impossible to have a "real-time" help in our section.
   The publication of message is really too slow and in my opinion the function of the comments is damaged from this.

   Bye!
