I was able to plant a broadside below the waterline, sending Davy Jones an early Christmas gift.
The "new mods" have no power to ban or delete members, simply remove the offensive posts. I wish I could do more. _________________ The Code is the Law. |

Removal of Posts is still an achievement. |

Thanks for sending his posts to the bottom. Just wish I knew who the fellow was. I have a pair of Nike shoes I would like to test on booting this fellow overboard myself. |

Hmm it seems a new member thinks he can spam us by placing links in some posts and not in others. Tsk, tsk. I'm deleting those posts that contain the links. |

Sorry for the double post.
A very new member has made two posts, both of which are VERY generic (as in they could apply to anything, and don't mention the subject of the topic).
In a topic about concept art for Sid Meier's Pirates, one post said "I think the issue that you put forward, I have learned."
In a another topic about Swashbuckler level in sword fighting, one post said "A message that can benefit the many members."
Do members have any thoughts on what to do about 'generic' posts? Moderators can't ban the poster, but we can delete the posts.
very respectfully,
fleet |

I have seen short, generic posts like that in other forums, including my own blog. I once inquired about it, and someone put forward the hypothesis that such posters were just trying to rack up some posts across the internet for the purpose of establishing a history. I don't know whether that is correct - or even plausible. |

Generic does not equal spam - so leave them be - unless they become annoying. |

Aye. I they do it more than a few times you can say something to them (as that is NOT the correct way to build a history) but if it is only one or two posts at this point then I say let it go. _________________ The Code is the Law. |

I had already deleted a half-dozen or so that posted on established threads. I am glad we have mods now.
