nasty spam going on in old message board thread

bump

The problem is that Bob is the only mod and if he's not around, the crap doesn't get deleted. And Bob can't be expected to be here 24/7/365. And if iirc, all Bob can do is delete a post anyway. He can't get rid of or stop anybody from posting. Only the site owners like Brad can do that.

Right. And "notifying" me or posting a thread like this is just a waste of your time and of mine. Especially bumping it after less than an hour.

Then, what's the best way to let someone know such is being posted?

If I "miss" a post (you've seen me around and the offending post is still there), then let me know. otherwise, I read all the threads with new posts and delete the offending posts as I see them.

That's what I'm asking. How do we let you know?

You don't accept private messages.

I have several email addresses for you but have no idea which one is current.

More porn in the "Does your local association have a message board?" thread.

Well excuse me. First I didn't know you were the only mod. I understand that mick has passed away. But someone else needs designated then.

Second you don't accept private messages.

So how else would someone alert game management that the board was infiltrated by porn.

Third, the crap is still there, after two hours after your post alerting me that it was a waste of my time bumping this thread in less than an hour.

The point is, it does no good to notify me. I read this forum as often or more often than I read my email. And, if I was here to read my PMs, I'd read the forum and delete the posts.

If the posts are still there in "2 hours", then it means I'm not available to delete them *OR* to receive a notice about them.

What happens if youput mzxxxxx -- whatever the name is, on ignore?

How would you like us to let you know?

In that case, email is fine. That is, if something offensive is still there a day or so later, it means I miised it. If it's there a minute or an hour or 4 hours after it's beenposted, it means I haven't been around to get it.

For example, I'm leaving for games in aminute. Ilikley won't be back until late tonight, and might not read the forum until tomorrow. Sending me messages this afternoon won't get the spam deleted any sooner.

The point is, I got umpteen emails reporting the spam in the "Does your association have..." thread. I know you (the generic you) don't know that someone else sent one. But, it's more inefficient to send the message than to ignore the spam for a while.

Now, most of the spam was in that old thread. I closed the thread. I hope that will stop some of this.

Are you checking the other sports, too? The same guy has posted some stuff in one (or more) of the football threads.

Okay. Since I've already told you I have several email addys for you and have no idea if one is current, I guess I'll simply ignore the porn and hope so meone else reports it.

I also hope someone has reported this guy to someone who can ban him. Even if I were to put him on my Ignore list, he's posts still show up for guests who visit this site, which does not seem like a good thing to me.
