should they bring back the old system?

I don't know how was the old system, but I've personally reported a new user an hour ago who has posted the exact same message in different threads.

They're just comments, I don't have any problem with it.

It's just moving towards the lion's den type of community similar to the YouTube comments section. :S

You mean the comments after the articles on the main site. I guess so, they are comments aimed mostly at famous people who have put themselves into the public spotlight, rather than comments on forum members or commentators (if they're from Facebook and don't use the forums). I think you'll find most showbiz sites or sites with showbiz sections are pretty much the same with some nasty comments about the famous person. Any article on Cheryl Cole will usually have a comment bringing up her assault on the toilet attendant, for example.

What section? Not sure if I could handle another one.

GD can be bad enough, delve into Politics for a few mins and your out for the rest of the week

I quite liked it how it was before just using my FB to comment and then i'd get notifications if people replied or liked the comment and i could go back and reply again..but you dont get that anymore.

I think it was healthier the other way as people were more accountable as you could see their FB basically now as you say a lot of "anon" users being more abusive.

The Facebook commenting system isn't that old. The old system was like this 'new' one, but the only thing you needed to do was enter a name, a Captcha code and possibly an email address.

For a lot of people, "nasty trolling" actually means "people who don't agree with me".

If you mean the comments on the main site then hell no. Restricting posting to people with facebook accounts when there is already an established userbase here is pointless and the last thing we need is another website trying to tie people up in the facebook bandwaggon.

To be fair, a few of us never venture outside of the forums, and so assumed that the OP was talking about a new system with regards to them.

Edited to delete string of letters - my PC froze while I was attempting to type a reply.

OP: Cheeky monkey!

You must realise that we are not mind readers. Have you read and understood what people are telling you? See my questions - if you're not blind, that is. You need to answer and explain what your thread is about.

Make that 5, i've never been anywhere other than the forums

I didn't vote in the poll as it didn't have "I've no idea what you're talking about"
