His welcoming spank as mod and I agree with him on the general security point so I'm appy to draw a line however we got here.

The thread merging does confuse me at times. I've never needed to look at the post title closely before the last few days

I'm extremely pleased to see Chezlaw's great pleasure at Low Key's generous welcoming of spank as mod.

It can be "reversed" but you'd need an admin or supermod to restore all the posts (unless they are all in forums you modd) and then you'd unban the user.

Its more like "can't be easily reversed"

And the PMs that are automatically deleted could not be restored.

For a discussion about OTB&C spammers, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't get to the point of being able to PM.

In fact, that's part of the point.

I always assumed that OTB&C only works (easily) for posters within a certain range regarding #posts and join date.

The true spammers also wouldn't be at a point where we need to worry about restoring their posts. I assume people have been discussing whether reversing post deletions would be an issue in case there was ever a mistake - such a mistake could also lead to deleted PMs, which wouldn't be reversible.

FWW, I'm not suggesting this is (or isn't) a concern - I was just adding a fact to the discussion of how reversible OTB&Cs are.

Date, yes. Posts, no.

the above suggestion on mods who are only able to one touch isn't easily doable and not particularly necessary.

Enough of this nonsense. Somebody needs to give metaname2 his richly deserved Hamburglar undertitle already, that's all I know.

The fact that the main dude whining about spank spending 8 solid months trolling has spent 8 solid years trolling says all we really need to say on this subject.

For someone with a name like metaname2? No way, that's full of possibilities like mean2meat.

Using your gimmick account to defend yourself? Stay classy, Alex.

In other news, spanky is now setting up rules in PU and not informing anyone what they are:

Are you interested in being in that poster/mod workgroup for serious forum business?

I mean I could just make a new rule tomorrow for how personal an insult is acceptable by simply articulating category. Seems funner and better to get participants in some political spirit.

However if a person must deeply and repeatedly apologize for behavior the rules may not cover using a thin interpretation, than being open to thickening weak spots with a finer rule is a smart choice- so as not to ruin the bad poster thread for ikes.

Is it too much to ask that whatever the ground rules for PU are, they be clearly articulated?

He has pretty clearly articulated that bragging about sexually harassing another poster and threatening to do it again is perfectly acceptable.

It's obviously just whatever Spanks feels like doing. Because putting people's names in threads is clearly allowed:

Here are some of those threads:

* Air Grievances about BruceZ Getting Called Racist ITT: New Posts Arriving All the Time!
* DiB is a big phat phoney
* spankthebadwookie is a dingus

Edit: For context for other people, Spank changed my thread title about TheKid being a welcher because TheKid cried to him.

I'll just add that I don't really care about thread titles. But TheKid is the biggest piece of **** troll there is but Spank's is going to cater to him because he knows it annoys other people.

Well played, Spank, well played.
