Martin has deleted the thread now thanks to a friend.

I do wonder how much of a hand in all this the moderators have, whether it be by being active or inactive

trust nobody.

last words x

i like this conspiracy theory sharon, however, if the mods did have an hand in all this then i think they will be on a hiding to nothing in future. Dreamsprite well and truly p/issed everyone off this weekend, no saturday night banter and not as many people posting. far from putting ideas into peoples head she almost did what Geoff said he would do , ie bring the boards to a standstill single handedly, the boards on Saturday night were pretty much deserted until sunday when regs decided they would post anyway and ignore dreamsprite.

whoeve dreamsprite is , i have to say, especially as they seem to have ‘charge’ of some young children is a particularly worrying individual, sure we have all replied post after post, but for 36 hours? I suppose in some ways the attention seeking she/he so very desperately needs is still happening but this individual definately needs to get some sort of counselling or some help somewhere, dreamsprite please think about doing something , what you did over the weekend was ocd, take a long hard look at yourself and the reasons you did it, lets face it we all have been ticked off by someone in cyber space but i dont recall anyone who flipped like you did. depression or ocd dreamsprite is no joke go get help!!!

now , to the spamming of the boards, i must admit having seen PB on several times during the course of all this , i was surprised he dint delete/ban whatever they do, ban the ip addy…. i dont know how they do it , idid think at one time maybe he was just leaving dreamsprite to spam herself out and then come in , and yet the minute ‘her pic’ and details were published he removed those pretty dammed quick…… I will never understand the ‘rules’ for deleting posts, lets face it i was a target not so long ago and some bluddy awful stuff was said but the posts were never deleted…..

what do we do about it? have read several posts that suggest perhaps there should be more mods with deleting powers, that may be an idea , but maybe the better idea as suggested in the undertones of some of the posts is that we all walk out? let us who are paying the bills of the owners and the retirement villa seekers vote what we think of spammers with our keyboards !! take em up and go do something else instead?

thing is though and if some are truthful, some need these boards as much as the site owners do for different reasons, i was one of those on saturday night looking for a bit of light hearted banter lol, i dont see anything wrong with that , beats sitting in front of the tv at least this place is interactive for those who dont go out much lol …..

so my point? my point is perish the thought that this place would ever get namby pamby and ‘nice’ cos it wouldnt be just chat but i seriously think we should show the powers that be that unless they deal with spamming and abuse when its on the scale it was on saturday night then we will deal with it ? and admin? bluddy get your rules right, you have deleted some posts ‘just because’ where as you let others go on and on, your site rules clearly state harrasment wont be tolerated blah blah blah…… not worth the screen they are written on!!!!!

*steps down off soap box n gets ready to go into the real world* 8-[ :wink:

I’m also really sorry if your alternative to the TV was disrupted for a weekend but i’m sure that you’ll get over it in time.

Has anyone thought that our phantom spammer might actually be Cath… :shock: :shock:
