Title: Message Board Spam Post by: Andrew on November 04, 2003, 09:50:58 AM Sorry folks. Did not get home from the unit until about 2200 last night and I did not check the message board until just now. The idiot should find himself blocked and I also removed all of his posts. Have to go into the unit now (I'm on leave, but have a few issues to work this morning).
If this ever becomes a problem, I will just engage the "requires registration to post" function on the board. That will help deter any troublemakers. Plus, I could appoint some moderators. We usually do not have a problem though. Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: FearlessFreep on November 04, 2003, 10:05:44 AM Thanks, I saw it happening and was thinking "Andrew will be making an editorial appearance shortly..."
Fortunately, it didn't get too out of hand. Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: JohnL on November 04, 2003, 06:08:53 PM Thanks from me also.

-the first rule of fat club- Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Scott on November 05, 2003, 11:20:05 AM I seen a bunch of unknown post, but didn't have a chance to read what they were about.
Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Ellie on November 05, 2003, 03:11:34 PM You didn't miss much. Someone just being cheeky.

Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Brother Ragnarok on November 06, 2003, 04:30:41 PM Crap, somehow I always manage to miss these things when they happen. So, what happened?
Brother R Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Cullen on November 06, 2003, 06:07:00 PM You really didn't miss much.
A person going by the name "Cheeky Monkey" started posting new threads. A lot. Maybe better than twenty new threads in a night. Some of the new threads he put up were under diffrent names, such as the incredibly original !@#$#@!#%$%@@#!@%#^#@#%$%^ (my spelling might be a little off.) He would then post again under "Cheeky Monkey" and ask what the hell was up with that. Stupid stuff like that. Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Ellie on November 27, 2004, 10:45:04 PM This is what I was talking about earlier in the "Evil Dead" thread.
Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Dunners on November 28, 2004, 04:30:44 AM ugh so cheecky was a spammer eh? great. just what we needed.
Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Brother Ragnarok on November 29, 2004, 12:38:56 AM I don't think the Evil Dead Thread Guy was a spammer, just a newbie to the world of b-movies. Hell, when I first saw Evil Dead, I thought I was the only person who knew about it, too. It just takes some time to get acclimated when you first get into b-movies and think you're special for having seen Dead-Alive, and then someone starts talking about Ilsa vs. Bruce Lee in the Devil's Triangle and you know you're waaaay out of your depth.
Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Master Blaster on November 29, 2004, 10:21:10 AM You mean the sequal vs. remake war? : )
Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Brother Ragnarok on November 29, 2004, 03:09:24 PM There's a war? I thought it was pretty well agreed on as a bad idea.
Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Master Blaster on November 29, 2004, 04:58:28 PM Nah I'm referring to a different thread. My message wasnt very clear, sorry. Basically one person made a comment that Evil Dead 2 was in a way a remake of Evil Dead. Another person disagreed and it went back and forth in a sort of nerdly battle for awhile. It was in a thread cheeky had started.
Title: Re: Message Board Spam Post by: Brother Ragnarok on November 29, 2004, 05:16:13 PM I see. I must have overlooked that one.
