Anybody out there?
Mods, can we please get rid of these spam/ bot posts?!
I don't know if anything can be done about them going up in the first place, but after they do get posted it doesn't seem like they should be up for maybe more than half a day or so. These are up for days, sometimes a week or more.
Shouldn't someone be on here on a daily basis to clean this stuff up?
I understand being a mod on a forum is a thankless position, but these should be able to be cleaned up a little bit.
Yes it is the offseason and posting is going to be slow around here, but when someone logs on and sees over half the front page as a bunch of spam, they're not going to spend more than a couple minutes here.
And yes, I've sent a pm to each of the mods before this post.

Re: Anybody out there?
Why not give some of the regular posters on here the power to delete all the spam???
I really don't see why it is so difficult for the mod's to do it (or not do it)........... but yeah, just let some of the regular posters do it for you. (I'm assuming that would be easy enough to set up, but I don't know?)
cuz yea, it is pretty annoying........

I wonder how tough it is to install some kind of captcha widget thingy.

That would be one way or getting rid of scats posts.

Re: Anybody out there?
It doesn't make sense to me why the guys don't give low level privileges to a couple of people they know spend time on here and are competent (like some of their buddies). I don't expect anyone and especially them to always be here, but lets get some of the crap posts cleared up. Just my .02

I'm annoyed by them, but I just mark them read, after I read the stuff I want. But I do have some very good Pandora Nike gear for the discriminating buyer.

That only works until a class act like Griz5700 bumps the thread. He must have lots of time on his hands. Do they let tenants at the prison in Deer Lodge have internet access?allcat wrote:I'm annoyed by them, but I just mark them read, after I read the stuff I want.

1. Report the post.
2. Be thankful we don't have mods like scats.

I don’t want mods like scats or any of those egriz dudes. Just want the garbage posts gone. Just annoying, and sometimes a bit of change is ok

Hard to say what’s going on, but it seems like the mods have lost their passion for this message board. Understandable, but, if so, I hope they find someone to at least clean up the spam threads.

BUMP.
Everytime a new spam post hits the boatd, bump this thread, keep it at the top of the topics. This crap needs to be fixed!

Yea, seems like a mod ghost town anymore these days. I get it, people have lives, situations change, etc. But this place is an import place for thousands of Bobcat fans, so why not groom someone to handle some of the simple tasks like this?TomCat88 wrote:Hard to say what’s going on, but it seems like the mods have lost their passion for this message board.

I've visited a lot of opposition message boards over the years, and when you find one that has a bunch of spam links, you know there aren't many users and you're likely aren't going to get any good conversation. It is not a good look to have.
