Supermods, now, look - names later - too much to clean up.

If you select his name, find all posts, you can delete all of his threads in your forum.

3 was in W&C.

I've got a really strong case of deja vu.

Ok, SG was mainly hit - my 4 forums are sorted and I've given them infractions that have lead to the bans of I hope, all of them.

Usernames are:

Tidbit

bender-tender

N.T.Maximum

Microwave30sec

NucleonChargePhase


Basically, they were copying threads, from any forum and just spamming them - at first they looked like legit threads, and then there was a few pages of the fuckers in SG.

So hmm, prema-ban kthnx!

I've got the first three names in mine.

Infracted them.

See how long it takes to kick in.

Yeah I know, so much easier doing 2 pages of spam in one go like that aye!

And here we go again:


CentrifugalLaunch

EDIT: More...

PlasmonAbsorbsion

And another "PolarityCheck" and "RebootCoreReactor" and "PlasmonAbsorbsion"

I was told on IRC that these were 4-chan members, whether thats true or not, I dunno, just thought I might add that if its any help.


We really don't need 4-chan vs. totse war.

Yeah, because 4chan would probably win.

Out of interest why aren't you deleting the locked threads?

I firstly went through and infractioned them, they didnt look like spam until I clicked back to the main forum page and saw ALL of it.

I'll delete them soon, don't worry yourself about how I mod :p

I ain't worrying, just asking.

Ohhhh
Actually, you can't see what I can see... you know how we soft delete threads?

Well lets just say I can't see any regular threads for almost 2 pages ;)

Suggestion: Can we please have the option of deleting things PROPERLY, none of this soft delete crap?

This "soft delete" only is fucking bullshit. I've got eight threads in Redmond that are "deleted" and it looks as ugly as as brown recluse spider bite.

Is there a reason the only option is "soft delete?"

In IFIOTW:

Tidbit
bender-tender
NucleonChargePhase

He seems to even use " Charging lasers." sig on all his nicks.

stay bad

Yeah.

I've cleaned up Green Planet, Clean Tech and Bitch & Moan.

I agree improve the delete function and give kate her supermod blazer...She kicked some major arse here!

How many mods does it take to vote in a supermod?

............


Someone else can finish that... But I second the motion!

Uh one to hold the lightbulb and the rest to drink until the room spins?

That gives me an idea!

If the one holding the lightbulb drinks fast enough, the rest don't have to worry. :p

* tries not to divert the topic too much

I also notice CPT.LAWL and some link to a Rick Astley song in fake news threads posted a few times. If any other forums have that problem?

stay bad
~stormy

More spam from...

Tidbit
bender-tender
N.T.Maximum
NucleonChargePhase
CentrifugalLaunch

...and another called "Optical center" in Conspiracy.

I have made two suggestions recently. One was that I needed cover for S&A for just this kind of event at this time of day and secondly that KAtE would be a good super-duper-mod.

I rest my case.

I've just cleaned GPP and STS...STS was hit pretty hard.

My bet is it takes a lot longer for him to spam, than it does for us to lock/delete.

3 mods in favor...

...You know, I'd make a great super mod... But sadly I am too busy saving the world with my brilliance, sorry!

Yes, she has support, also a few against. But I doubt the validity of one.

I've infracted every single motherfucker who's posted shit like that in my forums.

Hey, I'm growing some balls!

:O

Are the infractions not kicking in or something?

I've got the same people posting this crap in my forums.. and they dont seem to be dying:

Optical Center
NucleonChargePhase
Microwave30sec
Tidbit
bender-tender
..spindl3--chopper?

It seems that sometimes the infractions don't kick in automatically. It might be a glitch or something.

I dunno. It's early.

Reinvent Yourself currently doesn't have an active mod and needs cleaned up.

I noticed that. There is one in politics too I believe.

Kate also missed one in MP, but I got it. Guess I should be made supermod...:p

homerunbrad posted in Green Planet the other day so I think he does hang around?

I dunno that mod forum leak bullshit is still there I guess

Why do we need a supermod when we handled that ok?

homerunbrad posted in Green Planet the other day so I think he does hang around?

He's posted twice in RY in three months according to the 'find all posts by...'. It could probably do with another mod.

Or instead of getting yet another mod, get some active mods.

Since we're talking about RY(a forum I read every day and post in from time to time), I think Hung Like Christ or HARDMAN would be a good mod there. They're both knowledgeable and they're very helpful.

^^agreed.


Would K.Hallenbeck re-mod RY? he used to do a good job, as I remember.

I had about 8 in College Bond and 3 or 4 in AR&R.

I think they just started spamming SG again.

Woah, I had like 6 in TGO and Trouser cleaned up a couple in CT, but they are stilling popping up.

Looks like I picked a good day to sleep as I seemed to miss it all. Though it doesn't seem that BLTC was hit. It never is ihit for some reason [knocks on wood].

Though it doesn't seem that BLTC was hit. It never is ihit for some reason [knocks on wood].

It was...look on the second page and see how many 'Needle Question' threads there are.

Take note of the usernames Kate and everyone posted as some of the thread titles would SEEM to fit into bltc but are really just spam that laid everywhere else also.

Just FYI

Sorry, some of us had to be up early today ;)


I'm not going to get into this supermod thing again except to say - look at what happened last night, it could have been much worse. The timezone thing is a big factor here, most spammers hit when its night in america - when we've had spam attacks in the past its mainly been the au/nz/uk mods cleaning it up first.


And thanks to those that have faith in me :)

Will do, thanks.

But it isn't like the world ends if it takes another 4 hours for spam to be cleaned up. It could have been much worse, but that had nothing to do with how you handled it, it had everything to do with the willingness of the spammers to make it worse. I'm just saying, deleting spam, which all mods know to do, is hardly a case for being supermod.

I just think it's cute you and your "supporters" think otherwise. :)

nipping it in the bud by one person rather then having mods of multiple sub forums closing them sounds good to me

Of course, but the world doesn't end if spam sits in Reinvent Yourself for an extra four hours while the supermods sleep.

I just thinks it's cute that Kate thinks deleting spam makes her supermod material is all.

I think that we all did very well.
Spam, I hate it, it's tiresome, it's annoying, and the people who do it are usually those mindless little teenagers who think it's really l33t to post shitty little threads everywhere.

But it doesent mean we need another supermod.
It's good we've got mods that can deal with stuff in all forums if there's an urgent reason to do so, but I can deal with the spam in my forums perfectly well by myself, thankyouveryfuckingmuch.

They're at it again.

So far this morning , he/they have posted in Gearheads under the name xabinuce and nixifuzo.

So much for "most spammers attack at night in America"...

But yeah, those were the two doing it in Go Team.

Yeah, I've killed a few spam threads from both those names.

pozibasiwagagiwu

pozibasiwa

DownloadRectifier

Those names were also spamming in OI.

Amongst those already mentioned, there's another called "docufepago" in Conspiracy.

karohe as well.

Sucks...I think I must have cleared about 50 threads in 3 forums.

Has anyone banned them? I know I didn't.

Just go through and infract anyone that isn't already banned.

The mods of Eat Your Words need to get their shit together. I even SAID in each post that it was spam and they haven't deleted them. King_Cotton ended up moving one to another forum.

I love you guys, and you're fantastic writers, but please do some modding!

Easy to say that when you weren't the one who had to delete 16 threads in College Bond.

:p

SG is getting nailed again.

I went ahead and gave out some of the shiny new 15 point infractions (through the CP, not trying to step on any toes...), but the ship... she can't take much more...

I gave out only one through profile as well, I hope I didn't offend any SG mods in doing so.

Robin, how did you delete so many threads in BLTC so quickly? I was deleting them one by one....

BTW, I just noticed a bunch of this crapola in Noah's Ark.



Perhaps we need more supermods.

Robin, how did you delete so many threads in BLTC so quickly? I was deleting them one by one....

That's what I was doing at first, too, until I realized that the front page lets you mass-delete.

Check the boxes on the right of each post, scroll to the bottom, Select "Delete Threads", and hit "Go". You can delete an entire page worth of threads at once.

SG just got attacked, AGAIN.

Mlor and I kicked some ass though, I gave out infractions so that the users would be banned before more could come up.

What do you guys think about closing registrion?

EXCUSE ME? WHERE, show me EXACTLY where, I was the one to bring up ME being a supermod?

In the two threads its come up in, NOT ONCE have I been the person suggesting it.

Please direct your opinions elsewhere, kthnx.

This seems to be an explicit reference to it...

But I'm never the one to bring it up, can you not see that? Its OTHER people that are suggesting me - am I meant to ignore them, pretend that people aren't talking about me and to not give a response?
NC, I don't like filling this forum and this thread with crap, do you have a way I could contact you (msn, email, irc)?

napoleoncomplex@hotmail.com

You did bring it up that time though. You even said: "I'm not going to get into this supermod thing again except to say..."

If that isn't bringing it up, then what is exactly?

If you choose to disregard half the posts on the page before..


edit: I added you to msn, but I'm thinking you meant me to email that address instead?

napoleoncomplex@hotmail.com

You did bring it up that time though. You even said: "I'm not going to get into this supermod thing again except to say..."Not to insert myself into your private argument, but on the first page (post 16), Trousersnake specifically brought up kate being made a supermod.

And then you referenced it shortly thereafter when you posted, in jest, that "Kate also missed one in MP, but I got it. Guess I should be made supermod... :p"

Edit: Nevermind. Kate's a big girl. I don't know why I posted.

I never said she was absolutely the first person to mention it, but she did bring it up without agitation.

Kate, I don't like MSN, so yes e-mail would be prefered.

I stand by what I said. It just makes sense to me.

How many mods does it take to vote in a supermod?



Totse isn't the Holy Roman Empire. :D

I perma-banned those spammers listed above.

Registration has been closed since yesterday.

Fantastic. Thanks.

What's the word on "soft-delete?"
