Don't know but I started reporting those guys first thing this morning when they were hitting everything hard.

But I guess since the Porn Spammers aren't using Sigs that break the rules then no one cares. :D

Gee, I wish I would have volunteered for Mod Duty, since I'm on the internet about 15 hours out of the day. It's too bad nobody took me up on that offer....

I agree that we need a new moderator... The moderators do a great job (no complaints here) but cannot be expected to be on all the time. Another moderator would, in my uneducated opinion, just make it that much less likely for what we have now to continue.

Hahaha, don't let him catch you calling me that! :eek:

But anyway, something tells me having me in there would cause a little dissention in the ranks.

Edit: As far as calling him, I can't. A) I'm at school, and B) he's at work.

Bambi and Top Ramen so far... i want to know their IP's, they might be the same person or even a person who was already banned and came back for revenge or something...

do you think AO should have a system (for a time like this) where if a post is reported by 5 or so upstanding members (to prevent abuse of the system) the post is automatically deleted (but still viewable to moderators, in case that is necessary) and maybe if that happens with multiple posts, the user gets a temp ban? the moderators could choose who they deem "upstanding members" or maybe it could be a combination of join date/posts.

As far as i know there is no feature like this in Vbulletin. Would it be a good idea, maybe, but I can honestly see it getting abused. There are people in here that know enough people in here that they could conspire to get a legit post deleted.

Also, in a case like this it would take 5 people the entire day to get rid of the 80 or so porn posts.

What IS needed, and not difficult to code into vBulliten is the ability to pick a member and delete all posts by that member, within a date range, and delete the member. I had something similiar for an e107 site I developed.

Top Ramen started at 3:48AM and made a porn post (via sig) every minute until 4:22AM

That would be a fine solution, but not something you would want just 5 ordinary forum users to be able to do. If the mods had that ability then fine. The problem here is all the mods seem to be away.

Well crap, it's not like I have a business to run.

85 reported posts takes a while to push through. They're both gone and all their posts are too.

Admins can already do that. It's a helluva time saver.

well i said upstanding members, like... you. maybe the mods could select people to have that ability. then again, as was pointed out, it would be a bit hard to program and wouldnt help THAT much.

Well the one time I was actually sleeping something goes down...then I was out working. The only side effect of this is that Top Ramen and Bambi are still listed as having posted in a thread but when you go to it (the thread) then the post isn't there. I would guess from the post times that it wasn't an american who did this as at around 4am your time who is actually going to be online, unless that was the idea. I left early (for me) for work or else I would have caught the lot at the time it was posted.
