SOLVED Chinese spam

[neil9000]

If there are any mods online can you clean up the activity feed? It is absolutely full up with spam from the same user. Thanks.

[neil9000]

Lol, by the time I posted this it was gone!! Good work.  

[DOS76]

Taken care of

[neil9000]

Cheers @DOS76.

Thank you guys for helping out with all that crap. There is a plugin I can install to eliminate it, but unfortunately it ends up causing issues for people trying to register (basically it blocks certain known-spamming areas of the world). Did a wonderful job of blocking spam, but blocked too many legitimate people lol.

Maybe another moderator or 2 to help cover the European time zones to help out with those few hours when most of us NA people are sleeping.

That's cool, I just had a chat with @lordmonkus and now know what to do in future.

Id like to nominate myself

 

Am normally online from 5pm till gone midnight UK time everyday, so can do my bit if required

[neil9000]

Just incase my last post wasn't understood, I was also nominating myself!!  

[Jason Carr]

Thank you guys! I'll go ahead and make you both moderators; however, please understand that as moderators you are held to a much higher standard than the rest of the community, so it is extremely important that you are always respectful and kind, and never condescending or combative. I don't think you guys will have a problem with that though.

Let me know if you guys are still up for it and I'll make you both moderators.

[neil9000]

OOOHHH, yes please Jason. Totally understand that, and I do try hard to be as helpful as I can.

[nikeymikey]

Excellent!! Cheers Jason i know i havent been here for long but i do have a fully working version of LB and have a good few years experience with Hyperspin/Emulators etc so will do my best to help out as many peeps as i can and try to be the best mod i can be  

[Lordmonkus]

@nikeymikey we do fully appreciate your offer to volunteer but the myself and other moderators do not feel it is appropriate that someone that is so new to the forums be handed moderator privileges so quickly. We do hope you continue to contribute and be an active member here on the forums and if you want to join us on the Discord channel as well you are more than welcome.

Then after some time of getting to know you more we could then re consider you for moderator.

[Zombeaver]

I agree. While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I think it would be premature at this point to put you in a moderator position @nikeymikey. I don't think you've been a member long enough or active enough to warrant that at this point. That's not to say that it wouldn't be a good fit eventually, so long as you stick around and are active on the forums for a while. 

[nikeymikey]

Denied.....  

 

I understand your reasons tho guys, cant say im not a tiny bit disappointed tho

 

[Lordmonkus]

Come hang out with us on Discord if you like, we're all pretty active there and hanging out almost all the time except when sleeping. Give us all a chance to get to know you better and all that good stuff.

[Jason Carr]

Sorry for all this @nikeymikey. We'll get you moderator soon once people feel more comfortable with it.
