Can we have a faster "Troll Alert"

[fingers]

Seems Trolls can continue their merry way for 20 minutes at least!

[Pete.]

The alert system is quite slow at times - maybe mods could help this (michael21 will be happy to help)

I have suggested a limit on who can start threads to those with 50 posts. But I don't think admin agreed. Plus it wouldn't stop people from spamming in existing threads.

Something needs to be done, in twenty minutes a troll can spam multi threads, as just happened.

20 minutes is a faster response than you'd get from the emergency services a lot of the time you know :idc:

[Marc]

I reckon you just go around finding these posts for me and reporting them. That's a good boy

I presume you know that that that is unwarranted and condescending in the extreme?

proof!
set your house on fire, phone the fire brigade and time them

[Marc]

Well I am very so sorry fingers. I do hope I haven't ruined your day

Please don't try to patronise me, I'm not a moron!

[Marc]

I would never.

[Marc]

I don't believe you know me at all.

[AnnieK]

Oh my god....Marc was obviously joking.

[Lee.]

:joker: :joker: :joker:

Naughty mod boy having a sense of humour :nono:

[Marc]

Lol dw Annie

I know now who I can and can't have a bit of a laugh with.

[fingers]

A mere "member" would receive an infraction for less!

Let's not get carried away

Do you consider "thats a good boy" acceptable here?

[Josy]

Trolls and spammers are 2 different things btw.

The report system we have now is fine tbh theres just not always a mod or admin online when things are reported or they are in a different area of the forum.

Fingers, Marc was joking with his posts, I think you are taking things a bit too serious.

Thanks for replying, however "jokes" don't work in print, that's why members get infracted or banned.

They need to hire some people who only have the ability to delete posts and threads, it would really improve the BB section and a lot of others.

No the staff do all that
in the end

[Marc]

We're not employed lol

I think they should have temporary staff with the powers I stated just for on season, I', sure they can handle it during off season.

There's plenty staff available for both on and off season, no one can see every single thread or post that's made the minute they are posted that's why we have to rely on reports sometimes, having someone with the power to delete posts wouldn't make any difference because they would still have to rely on reports at times too.

[Marc]

I repeatedly press the New Posts link at the top so if any reports are sent to us, while I'm on, I'll see.

Obviously you weren't on between 4.59pm and 5.20pm today?

Admin has spoken

Give it Up

[Marc]

I weren't no. We do have lives and can't be only 24/7. But we do seem to have at least one MOD on at most times.

I'm afraid you've lost me. What are you implying?

[Pete.]

Unfortunately I sometimes see no mods at all. That makes me sad :sad:

Fair enough. :hmph:

I'll PM you my mobile number so you can text or ring me whenever you need a MOD

[MTVN]

Its not as if he was running rampant for hours lol, he posted a few times, I warned him that if he didnt stop he'd be banned, he carried on so I did ban him

He made 19 posts, its not the end of the world is it

[Marc]

Anyway I shall inform James of this thread for the OP. Although Josy has responded now and she is a newly appointed Admin so I shouldn't expect any different response.

[fingers]

It seems Mods can make what are regarded as jokes about members but members making tongue-in-cheek comments about Mods get an instant ban.

...and 19 posts were 18 too many.

[Marc]

Oh crikey. Drop it would you.

I won't discuss other members infractions with you.
