Thanks for the concern and I see what you are saying but you are wrong with the "a post or two on a discussion forum" thing, I have spoken to them all on MSN and seen their driving on LFS. I can't keep tabs on them all the time and I'll have to accept that occasionally I will get drivers like Preston who seem all right on the surface but are/were wreckers. Preston was promptly kicked from the team when I found out he was on the wrecker's barricade. This was about an hour after he joined. I am surprised that he joined with the Moo tag and started wrecking but no team can avoid that. I assume that he had already been booted from the team at that time so he was trying to give me/us a bad name for kicking him off the team.
Of course every member of the team is liable to be booted off if I find out they have been/are a wrecker and I know that people like that would bring the reputation of the team down but I'll accept that and see where it gets me. If I end up having a one or two-man team who nobody has any respect for then I'll go about it a different way but until then I'll do it my way. If I went about it your way I would have a team all for myself for a long time, while I got to know all the members. I find it easier and more friendly if they come into the team before I start getting to know them more, it shows I trust them. Lastly, you're right, I know I need to research their history a bit more, this was something I failed to do with Preston. If I had looked up his name on the wrecker's barricade I wouldn't have let him on the team.
Oh, btw, please could you tell me when Preston came onto your server and started wrecking, I would like to know if it was while he was on the team.
And a general note to everybody reading - if you see anyone with the Moo tag wrecking then please report it to me AND the wrecker's barricade. After Preston I need to be more alert.
P.S. Thanks for the good luck
