Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

    Damn I thought they were going to come back today and let us poke more fun at them. But they havent and its not really fun making faces at mad people.

    Anyway, most of them have been banned except Keep On Trekkin who seems to have a perfectly reasonably history except where Politics is concerned. So I've banned him from there.

    I've set some options on the sign up too so we'll have more control on re-signups.... its a bit more work but its less then having to clean up after children.

    I doubt its actually NUIG they are using at all btw.... previous posts from these kidiots have used proxies to hide their ips...
    I think thats probably whats happening here too.

    I dunno if someone thinks its funny to do this sort of thing, but its getting old. For the moment, I've moderated signups which means fewer genuine people maybe but fewer muppets too.

    You can thank whoever is behind these trolls (who else would know about Gamire and ErrorCom?). Shame really.

    Ack. I know its probably only for a short time Dev, but thats letting them win. They dont give a toss about boards, but everyone else does. Moderating sign ups just puts ppl off if they have to wait too long :(

    And You people thought of me as a muppet. One of these days ill have less posts per day then dahamsta and then you wont even be able to call me a spammonkey


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz


    you are a muppet. Your just a fairly sane muppet.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Currently its post moderated ie: I'm just alerted to new users and can keep an eye on them.

    Anyway, I'm more patient then they are, they'll get bored and wander off in search of shiny things soon...

    You know ordinarily I'd insult you now, but since you seem to be swinging towards a No vote on Nice, you can pass the Daz doorstep challenge for the moment.

    Do not let the process of Irish Referenda become subservient to a Supra National Federalist edict. Requantify Ireland's democratic voice and vote No the the Nice Treaty.

    Boston - having a lot of posts or a high average post count doesn't make you a spammer. Posting a lot of irrelevant or annoying tripe does (... probably even more so when, like Typie here, you put it in your post rather than your signature so that people who have sigs turned off still get to see it ...)

    You're only saying that because you have 5000+ posts and average over 5 a day.

    :D
