Sorry to be so ubiquitous
« on: December 19, 2018, 07:24:44 AM »
I signed in a little while ago and noticed that a certain spammer was posting inappropriate requests in just about every thread. Didn't want that to be the first thing users saw when they logged in, so I started finding good posts that I could commend in each thread and bump them to the top. Result is that now my username is dominating the forum, at least for the present. Sorry about that.

It's like they knew when Timothy wasn't here . . .

I wonder how many reports about the spammer in question Timothy will find waiting for him the next time he does check in? 

P.S.  What time is it in Australia, anyway?

Caffeine time.  :icon_mrgreen:

And lots. Looks like I need to change the registration around a bit. The posts were so regular it had to be a bot. Also the 2nd registration posting the same thing.  :doh:

In all seriousness, that was very thoughtful of you.   :cheers

That was a nice idea - well done.  I just saw the spam stuff, rolled my eyes -  :icon_rolleyes: - and went to check my sales dashboard instead.  Far less helpful for everyone else!!
