    Intentional thread spamming

    Very disappointed in certain people here who decided they're going to thread-bomb the site when I'm not around, as some pathetic form of protest.

    As I said, in 2021 I am not tolerating BS here. If you're going to act like a child, you can go elsewhere.

    The worst offenders have been given a 72-hour nap to where they cannot post at all.

    The remainder I'm giving a public warning to stop, and a 72-hour nap next time it happens. Not bothering to send PMs. You know who you are.

    For those already given a nap, if this occurs again, you will be outright banned.

    some of those threads, while useless, could have spawned into some interesting discussions

    Is it a coincidence that Druff logged in and laid down the law, just as I paused the beginning of the movie "Patton" in this particular spot? Hmmm

    Can you please deal with d.r. in the same manner?

    Tonight I created 4 threads I think? Likely the first four threads I created all month. Desert likely created 4 threads in the past 24 hours as well.

    In return you deleted them and threatened me with banning either short term or permanent.

    As I said in dwai’s thread I do like you and enjoy posting here. But I have no idea why you’re ignoring a large majority of your posters.

    I always am open to listen to constructive criticism regarding my forum moderation or anything else. As I've mentioned before, desertrunner isn't here to ruin anything. There is nothing malicious about what he's doing, and I say this as someone who has known him since 2010. With that said, I already asked him to tone down the new thread creation shortly before all of this protest spamming happened.

    However, I will never allow people to force me into doing what they want, by ruining the forum until I comply. I didn't name anyone involved because I'm not trying to turn this into a power trip. I stated plainly that the worst offenders of flooding the forum were napped for 3 days, and the lighter offenders were just openly warned (without naming them) to quit doing things like this.

    You were in the "warning" group.

    BTW I am always taking note of how the users feel about things, and that also has a large impact on my decision. I noticed over the past few days that some people are unhappy with desertrunner's thread starting frequency, so I asked him to bring it down some. That's why there hasn't been a thread from him since 5:59pm PT (hours before the spamming began).

    I appreciate the users here, especially the longtime good contributors. My only request is that people here treat me and the forum with at least a little respect, and that includes not intentionally ruining the forum or threads if you don't like what's going on at the moment.

    This goes without saying, please treat everyone with respect. Druff is a good person, meet him or not. And yes, I will tone down my postings here, but I don’t see me as the problem, rather the few that ruin the place for everyone else here because of political disagreements.

    Much respect and thanks to Druff for the service here, thank you.

    Noticeable pattern- Every time Druff comes in here and cleans up the place, the other good members come out of hiding and post. It’s like a little city where they arrest the bad guys and then the good people come out of hiding. Druff- I think you’re into something here!

    Good people? Have I been at the wrong place all these years?

    I'd be happy to see new people posting, but I want the existing posters to be around too.

    Not trying to make a statement here. Just can't have stuff like this occurring.

    Can you please pm the names to me. I host an online covid 19 support group in chat here saturday evenings and we have strict rules about non attendance. For confidentiality sake I have no other way to get in touch with my members. I trust you will understand given the nature of my request.
