Nope, its Christmas. Spamming increases on the Holidays.

Why is this a thread? Instead of a private message?

It was also a private message - but a thread will be seen first in all likelihood.

Shunka - I only wish it hadn't been a problem before. We catch things pretty fast here but if it happens past "our", mostly EST, then sometimes we don't catch it. Wasabi can catch a lot of stuff because she's on waaaay after we have all gone to bed.

I think wasabi (and probably Bucky) should be given a special title for catching the bad stuff late at night here in EST-land. Thanks, guys.

Midnight Rambler, Cleanup Batter, or something..............

I wish I had the golden "delete post" and "ban member" power. They would be gone so fast, their heads would spin.

I moderate on a discussion board....With ultimate power comes ultimate responsibility. Boards are tough to moderate, especially since most people are anonymous. Granted, people who just show up to spam are one thing..but people who simply have different view points or different ideas about things are not necessarily trouble makers. It's tough to constantly walk that line. I've also discovered that when you ban someone, if they really want to be on the board they just change addresses. It's easy to have a ton of email addresses.

Now back to your regularlary scheduled thread
