    Bastards!

    Looks like they loaded up the Campfire Chat and Gone But Not Forgotten forum. I’ll clean it up when I get time. Grrrrr!

    Looks like someone beat me to the clean-up, except for the couple I deleted that popped up this morning.

    It's like playing Whack-a-mole lately ... they pop back up as fast as you can delete 'em. Figuring out how they get through our approval process is above my skill set AND pay grade. Anybody have a clue how to stop these a-holes?

    I cleaned up the posts but I don’t have the power to ban the users. If someone can give it to me next time I will. Some of the users have been users since November.

    Whenever I delete them, I also ban them, but it appears to have no real effect. The posts are so similar (many symbols instead of letters/words), I have to assume it’s the same people or group doing the posting. I’m assuming they just keep coming in with different user names, but I don’t know how they get registered and approved in the first place.

    I assume Carty set me up with the power to ban these a-holes, I don’t really know. I also assume Len has the power (and knowhow) to set you up. Heck, I might even have that power! I’m clueless. When I get back home to my p/c, I’ll take a look and see if I have the authority to get you onboard. I just never really thought about it or looked into it.

    Well we've been trying to bring in some new members, and to be honest the conversation is stimulating

    Wish I knew how to stop these Jack-asses. I’m banning/deleting 8-10/day. They just post automatically under a new user name. Something is broken.

    Hmmm, maybe they got tired of messing with us (fingers crossed). No new posts for the past couple days. Hope it's a good sign, they've been relentless.

    I’ve been deleting them as I find them. So not totally asswipe free yet.

    Yeah, I saw a few the other day, but by time I went to delete them, you’d already beat me to it. I hope they decide we don’t play nicely and decide to move on. We’re on the way to California, so I’ll just be popping in and out for a couple weeks. Just keep on keepin’ on I guess.

    Bastards!

    This bunch of fucking assholes are really getting on my nerves. I have no clue how to stop them. I’ll just continue banning and deleting, but it doesn’t seem to faze them. Jack-offs! I’ve done 10-12 so far today.

    Bastards!

    A/B, I may be contacting you for some guidance once I return home. I’m traveling right now and won’t be home until the night of the 19th. Once we get home and get my brother out of there (house/cat sitting), I’ll be trying to tackle these mf’ers. I’m not a techie, so I’ll need some hand holding. By time I went to bed last night, I’d banned/deleted about 15 of these a-holes, but it does no good. At 5:00 (Pacific) this morning, I’d already wiped out another handful and will most likely have more to do later. It’s not the way I like to spend my vacations and I’m getting tired of it!
