Out of three active mods, none have had time to log in today. I feel bad, they're so far behind right now... I know it'll be taken care of before I get up in the morning, but it'll take some time for sure.
Is it bad that when I see the online users list at the bottom of the forum, I judge unfamiliar screen names and assume that they are spammers? Edit: Mods, is there any way to ban a specific IP address? I've noticed that several of these spammers always put a specific address as their location, and it's always the same address. A quick Google search of Location: Cherry Street, Room 318 Atlanta Georgia USA 30332 turned up a few other website being hammered by the same spammers, which we already knew. I'm just curious if we can ban the IP and stop a few spammers in advance. We really could use one more mod, sadly.

Couldn't browse all day yesterday...was quite disheartening.
The annoyance factor rises when the fix is so simple. |

Someone needs to get Christian to turn this site over...its falling apart and horridly dated...
But I do have to commend ours MODs recently, when things happen they have been on top of it! This post has been edited by playr158: Aug 14, 2012 - 3:02 PM |

From what I know, its a simple 'delete all posts by his user' button. And I doubt mods have much more access than that, so banning would be out of the question.
It's back to phase getting coomers attention. Anyone called him? -------------------- |

^^ We don't have that button. The mods have to ban the user to prevent any more posting then go through and delete each individual post. They must have been quite busy after yesterday.

we dont have a magic 'delete all their posts button', if we did that would be so much easier.
I don't think I can comment on the ip address blocking situation sorry. I think atm the best thing members can do is raise the point to a mod if you notice any odd looking names that are online and don't have any posts -------------------- |

Could one of the mods PM me when the clean up is done.
I don't want to backup spam, and seeing there is a bunch going on lately...I'd hate to tarnish the backup. |
