What those other folks said, then + 1!

Thank you mr Admin!

OK, no where I'm I going to get the latest info on the fine line of Genuine Authentic replica knock-off Gucci products?

I'm also going to really miss all the mention of "Paisley ".

SB, thanks again for all of your efforts and making this such an excellent forum! BLF rocks.

Awesome!

Does that gravedigger function really work ? I mean the re-burying of spammed threads. For example this thread has a post from 02/05/2012 at the end. Therefore it shouldn't be on starting page 2 between posts from 03/09/201.

Most of the time it works... but as you have pointed out the system isn't perfect. I think it would be okay to bump any of the threads that got buried.

If there is a general glitch, the starting pages can easily become useless... even with that spam protection in place. It would be interesting to know under which circumstances it works and under which it doesn't.

I think the way it works is that thread dates only get reset when Mr. Admin deletes the user rather than when they get blocked by Mark as Spam votes.

I think so too. But quick user moderation stops it from affecting hundreds of posts and instead is just a few scattered posts.
