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:
Football fans urged to drink responsibly
Residents still want to see what wind farm will look like
Construction costs on the Island 18% above UK average and comparable with Outer London
Manx residents 'will probably need to pay more' if they want universal health service
