Spam-tastic

So after having a wee look at the latest spammers it was alarming to discover 12 folk joined a day ago as you can see

Out of these 12 folk 8 are spam!!!..just because some don't post a link it's all there on their "about" page !!

It's ridiculous that these all go undetected unless by the RSPB 

It's like a free advertising place for anything and everything 

From Essay writing to Escorts!!

It's a disgrace 

Rant Over :-]

(Pardon the Scottish Accent)

    And of course guess who’s liked my link. Well I’m not surprised! See you all on Tuesday of this week!

    I can only (hopefully) assume she's been blocked from posting.  That's the main thing I wanted, though I hope she's eventually removed permanently.  It was good to see her old Blackbird account now comes up as Anonymous.

    I somehow doubt this post will get a like from her!

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

    Out of interest Clare do you still see her old posts.
  • 28/08/2023 09:20
    I've been sent links to a few of her old posts. I imagine the nasty ones were removed.

    I just just curious, when I had my old account deactivated I think all the posts disappeared.

    Every last one went - the same thing happened to Bob's old account.  It decimated countless Community threads.  A few of the long-running threads, like Bottoms Up, had to be restarted as it was suddenly impossible to automatically go to the most recent post on it.  You'd just view a blank page.  More recently they (for whatever reason) blocked Robbo's previous username, though he clearly hasn't been banned - all of his old posts have disappeared as well.  It's horrendous.

    Thanks for the link Robbo I found a long thread yesterday and was reminded of a lot of names that's left over the years.

    Hi Alan. Yes sorry. i wasn’t very clear who I was taking to or what I was talking to. I was just confused cause Thomo had not long posted about his NASA links not working he commented about on one of my posts aswell community.rspb.org.uk/.../testing-wildlife-links

    and now has mentioned a problom with posting something he was going to post and then of course you mentioned about your acount and not being able to send posts so I just got confused.

    I don’t know if she’s been blocked from posting but I know her profile icon hasn’t disappeared from posts she’s commented on. If you type Peewit in the search box you can’t find her name so she might of made it so you cant find her profile in the search box you can do that in settings but I can’t say if she has done that or not for sure but her profile still exists.

    I should also make everyone aware that You don’t have to add people as a friend for someone to pm you she could still pm me even though I hadnt added her as a friend. So where the thread says about the update in 2011 you can only pm if you add someone as a friend. Thats Not 100 percent accurate since iv found out for myself.

    Iv allways had my pm open and not really thought about it. so that’s the only reason she could pm me. She said at one point she can’t pm Robbo cause he has his pm off even though she’s tryed cause she gets along with him.

    I don’t know if she’s private messaged anyone else this year but I have been wondering weather she has been doing it to anyone else but I certainly felt like I was the only one she was doing this to. Acuseing me of being Hazy includeing acuseing other members privately where no one can see it instead of publicly where everyone can see it
