Zero tolerance approach needed to stop abuse
Manx Forums' moderators closed the shutters on adding new members to the site.
Hosting over 10,000 members, the site has been notoriously linked to trolling - with a growing number of people using it to make personal attacks.
It's the Island's longest running site for public comment on societal issues.
Now, it's been decided a zero-tolerance approach is needed to stop the abuse - with prospective future restrictions to prevent abuses.
Former detective inspector, Derek Flint, is a member with history policing the site - he says it's not an ideal platform, he explains why:
Palatine GP changes booking system
MGP Supporters Club to make decision on charity next month
Isle of Man residents to take medical supplies to Cuba
"Clowngate": MHKs start 2026 with a war of words
Island has to 'plan for things we hope will never happen'
