Not easy to get people to post and share their info / knowledge. Sometimes by commenting and sharing, we might get belittling remarks or malignant comments.
Even old timer flashaholics had dimmed their passion and stopped visiting / commenting. Sad to see someone banned actually.
Kill ’em as fast as I see them … I maybe get a couple a month, but it seems like it is in waves.

Did anybody ever confirm it was his post delete that was mid-giveaway? It was rude, but if the admin knows of other antics then I guess he hit sb’s pretty high tolerance threshold. My own level would have been pretty low on a thread where someone is so generously giving away stuff to BLF members, too.
Regarding the Kreisler issue, I would just like to make clear that he was not banned just for deleting posts, although it’s worth mentioning that he had been specifically warned to stop creating confusion with his post deletion. I won’t go into any personal details, but his offences were much more serious that playful post deletion. Please keep in mind that I am on the receiving end of the “Contact the admin” link, and I am frequently contacted by a lot of different people about many different issues. So if any user starts doing anything devious I usually find out pretty quickly. So with that in mind, please understand that Kreisler was not banned just for post deletion.
I don’t want this to turn into a public shaming mob against Kreisler, so please avoid further comments about it here. I would be glad to explain via PM if you are still in disagreement. But in this case, he burned his own bridges and his ban is permanent and reinstatement is not an option.
Just helped kill some spammer named joanna-something. Thanks whoever clicked her to oblivion with me. I could go for a grilled spam sandwich right now.
I’m in the same time zone as steve and chloe, it does also come in waves, you’ll have a monday morning where every other post triggers a spam blast, then nothing for a while while they pester someone else.
I am quite enjoying my mod status on other forums, there I can silence them, edit their ppostsin an amusing way and leave them like a carcass hanging from the state line as a warning to other would be spammers, it amuses me I have to admit.
