through my school life i was up at 6 for my paper rounds and i dare say some kids have a quick surf before setting off on their paer rounds etc

i wasnt suggesting somone to moderate over the late night people but it would be handy having somone who could deal with it if needed

everyone has banter and comes out with some pretty disgusting stuff in the chat late at night but this guy was beyond a joke and was infact downright disgusting towards 3 female members that i can think of and if i remember correctly threats towards 1 members property were made and although i highly doubt he would have the balls to set fire to a shop a young woman may not be as comfortable with it as a man would be ( not saying women are wimps of course )

all i was suggesting is that if an idiot like this does come on that we have some measure to get rid of them and thier posts before seen by the decent folk , granted these idiots dont come along often but when it gets to the point where a member is getting upset by anothers actions with just cause then the offender needs booting asap

anyway its not my place to say whats what i was just making a suggestion

I used to be a moderator on a message board (which sort of fizzled out through lack of interest in the subject matter) and I was the silly fool, er volunteer, who logged in first thing in the morning to cover such eventualities. It didn't happen often but we did once get a spate of idiots registering just to post filth and abuse.

Hopefully it won't happen often on here but even if the place was manned (or womanned) 24/7 you could still end up missing something.

Wishing the mods all the best in dealing with such hassle.

if the moderators have done a good job and sorted it out during the night then whats the problem... why are ya trying to fix summat that seems to be working.... just a wondering

Good idea, maybe? We do have members on here that reside on the other side of the world and to them it won’t be a grave yard shift because as we sleep they will be in their daytime and visa versa.
But to be honest thou for the amount of times that this sort of thing happens, which is quite rare I don’t think that this is necessary, it will probably be quite boring for anyone who has to visit the forums when everyone here is in bed.
Best thing is I recon, is to just report the offence via the report button and leave for the mods to sort the next day, with everyone’s help, and it is appreciated we can keep on top of this. Another thing that may help is, don’t reply to any of their posts as this may only encourage them even more.
cheers.

was gone when i woke up

dont think its practical for the mods, but the instance last night wouldnt have made much differance with not answering - you didnt get chance to answer the screen was constantly full of rubbish for about 20 mins.

garinda · 21-09-2005, 16:32

Thank you to sorting it out.

For those who mised all the 'fun', he was a complete idiot who used the forum to attack two female members in a very nasty and personal way.

Hoping he never darkens our forum door again.

KIPAX · 21-09-2005, 16:33

Just a guess cashman.. but are you talking about the chatroom?

SPUGGIE J · 21-09-2005, 19:14

If after last night he was banned i am hoping my work computer is playing up as it said he was in the chat room. Please tell me I was seeing things.

PILKYBUSDRIVER · 21-09-2005, 21:04

I'd like to know how some disturbed idiot can post messages in the chatroom using my id while I watch helplessly at the filth he/she is typing.

May I suggest the next time this happens in the chat room shiny, just make a private room. Then only invite the people you want into the private room and leave the idiot on his/her own in the lounge. You can then carry on insulting and talking the mick out of each other without interuption

As far as someone using your nickname, that is a little bug in the chat room software. Make sure you do not use white colour for your text. The 'fake' messages are always the system colour - the same as when it says things like 'neil has entered the Lounge at'. Then people can tell it is not you if your set as a colour and a message appears in white.
