Moderators (requests and notices)

Can you unmerge notices and requests (here)? Notices are interesting; requests are not.

Spam post at the bottom here
http://www.lfgss.com/thread89006.html#post3482585
tried to report it but couldn't

Has already been deleted and the spammer banned.

Thought that was the case.

Was this guy http://www.lfgss.com/member39024.html
not banned before for spamming that same DA advert?

Was editing the Locks That Work first post, to add a European seller of the OnGuard Brute Mini, but its disappeared, like last time. Will this happen everytime I edit the first post?

Its a tad frustrating, as I was going to make another change, but I can't.

Can you let marcom and pisti back in please? kthxbai

And someone get Squoocher back. Lets get this shit started.

Pisti will be back in time, and is very welcome to stay if he can just refrain from bullying others and purposefully being anti-semitic in the process.

marcom remains permanently banned and has not made any approach to me to have that ban lifted. Not that I'm presently inclined to listen given that he invested a day last week to signing my email up to every porn site he knew about (and Ars Technica, why?). It does nothing to suggest he'll act with consideration to others or that he no longer has a chip on his shoulder re: me, so I can't think why his ban would be lifted when that's what I'm looking to see.

But... TS, you're hardly one to advocate the return of bullies when you're busy bullying others too: http://www.lfgss.com/post3485804-20072.html

what about popcorn?

^reported for being as bad as Cliveo about tags

Someone had to knock the gloating handsome bastard down a peg.

That's cool... forum self-moderation is a good thing.

But when it's the same usual suspects against the same other people, and when they've received very specific and harsh warnings in the past... then it should be left to other people to do the correction.

As it stands, it just looks like TS continuing to haunt the same few people, with the same shit-stirring. And then it's TS asking to let other shit-stirrers back, which doesn't look too good when TS is busy winding up the same few individuals he's been warned not to.

I'm getting kinda tired of it. There is clearly a problem with too much sensitivity, but there's also clearly a problem with a few people feeling that they really don't have to be considerate or show respect to others on here... both sides of that are shitty, and just because there's too much sensitivity it doesn't mean that people should get away with constant bullying, shit-stirring against others. And just because a few people are crap like that, it doesn't mean we should be overly sensitive either... as then we'll end up with a "hug thread".

Basically, both extremes are dumb. And TS should know better. And when I start expressing that I'm getting tired of the silliness of it all, that's when people should know my tolerance for bullshit is pretty low.

Whoa.

Having reflected on it (although still having not read the actual context of his comment), I say ban Joe.

As usual, my default is to not ban someone. It's to wait and see whether they comprehend their own actions and make such minor adjustments as necessary to avoid it.

But mostly... I don't know whether TS asking for marcom and Pisti to be unbanned was a serious request (if so, from totally the wrong person, the people involved should just recognise their own behaviour and promise to try and not do it in future), or a joke (if so, I can't tell).

DJ, quit making posts and then deleting them. Say it or don't.

So no banning? Pfft. Thread does not deliver.

poking the bear

VB, have you considered putting this thread on ignore?

but reopen popcorn first

DJ, the entire purpose of this thread is to permit people to report things and be kept up to date with things that I or hippy have to do.

There's even a legal obligation on me to respond to certain types of things that I'm notified of (in this thread, or via email or report).

So... no.

And popcorn, just another space for a few shit-stirrers to shit-stir. Why people can't just put the bikes and cycling first, treat people with more respect, and keep their shittiness to themselves is a set of questions I'll never be able to answer.

hmmm, good questions there. Maybe we should debate them in the popcorn thread rather than here.

But first, can we have tags back in the football thread?

Have you thought of using a #hashtag?
