RWBF hit bad by SPAM again (Read 189 times)

wcrunner2


Are we there, yet?

    The spam appears to be gone now, if that isn't an oxymoronic statement. I keep a Miles Game team thread there for those who don't want to move to RA and follow one thread in the 5K, 10K, HM Training forum that I subscribe to so I get emails when anyone posts. Sometimes I will quickly scan page 1 threads in BF and respond if any interest me.

     2024 Races:

          03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles

          06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.

      I started a wiseass post about it over there and 1 person responded.

        The mods here can abuse you.  You shall only ask.

         

         

        Interesting offer! What will you be wearing?

          This could be good.

              Why should I do the work myself when I have other mods to do it?

                Because you are the only puerto rican lady that I know with great legs that drops the f-bombs in that special way. Big grin

                  I warned a new user over there at the  height of the the spam attack yesterday.... about the spam there and sort of hijacked the whole thread. That made for some interesting reply's. I figure I might as well warn new users about the spam.

                   

                  I really do like the fact that new runners are always posting in beginners and I thought I would go back for awhile since I have not seen any spam for awhile. The first week I go back there is this spam attack that is typical and I have about had it!  The only way to fight back I see is to warn new users.  So on the Intro thread I posted a warning.

                   

                  Some of the reply's.....Rants and Raves is supposed to be the complaints forum according to Mr Beta tester Moth. Really!!!! I think  Rants and Raves is  for politics and religion plus whatever floats your boat. Not a direct line forum that the admin reads for sight improvements!

                   

                  The whole frustration  for me is the fact that the admin does not seem to care!!! First there was slow forums that lasted years then spam and other site loses. You really don't hear any feedback from the mods.

                    Ah yes, forgot how Machiavellian  you are. What's next, everyone in the group will be buying you donuts?

                      Doh.  You didn't get the memo?

                      Dave, he does get testy when we try to bring more people here or criticize RWOL.

                        RW was useful in it's day, I don't discount that.  But, for the previous couple of years, the users have begged for changes, only to be told that they were working on it.  Blah.  I got an invite to be one of the alpha testers for the new forum, I didn't even bother to respond.  That's been a couple of months ago, and nothing has changed.  And when it does, zzzzzz.

                          Newbies who complain in R&R usually get taken to the wood shed. Half of them get piled on by the diminishing crowd left and I never see their posts again. I go there occasionally but not much.

                            You men can have mod Damaris in her cat outfit. I'll go with mods LTH and LRB. I hear the first one is good with pain and I'd love to see the second one in leather pants. Now let the abuse begin! Big grin
