Who's On First ???

From Rich: "New Moderators: I just wanted to take a moment to announce that Brad has appointed moderators to the following forums: Basketball: AllPurposeGamer and Snaqwells."

The king is dead. Long live the king(s).

Congratulations to AllPurposeGamer, and Snaqwells. I would love to attend the ceremony where you guys get your "Fashion Police" badges, and Forum secret decoder rings, but I seldom leave my little corner of the Constitution State. Something to do with some silly outstanding warrants in other jurisdictions.

Thanks for volunteering guys. Good luck. Especially with Abbott and Costello, and I think that you know who I'm talking about.

And pray that Old School never returns to haunt us.

And pray for Jurassic Referee. That's all. Just pray for him. I really miss him. Really.

I wish that bob jenkins would return every once in a while as just a poster. After all, we all would say "Always listen to bob" for a reason. Like Jurassic Referee, he was almost always correct in his interpretations. I really miss bob jenkins too. Really.

Now who will we always listen to?

Upgrade ???

Has anybody noticed that there's a lot less spam on the Forum lately? I don't recall any spam at all over the past few weeks. Whatever the Forum is doing to prevent this, keep up the good work.

Now if the Forum could only figure out how to "block" Mark Padgett's posts about the "First rule of officiating", and how to keep Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.'s posts shorter than War and Peace, then we would be "Cooking with gas". Now that would be a real upgrade.

Brad put a hold on new users (which was the primary source of spam...bots signing up to spam) to help curtail the spam problem whilst he was the only one moderating. That an there was an issue with a certain poster on the baseball side. Now that that hold has been lifted, there may be an increase in spam, but now a slew of people able to deal with it.

P.S. Thank you BillyMac

Can't the Forum create its own "bot" to take care of the Mark Padgett, and Mark T. DeNucci, Sr., issues? Just a simple "bot" blocking all excessively long posts from any Forum member born before the election of Woodrow Wilson would take care of the Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. problem. Easy peasey, lemon squeezy.

Maybe we could name it Skynet Forum Defense.

For the record, I do not post on the Baseball Forum.
