Cali spammer

A user was spamming links to a website in Cali (thanks for reporting him). His links and account were deleted, but the posts that he spammed on (all related to cali) are still showing up in the 'active' page. This problem will resolve itself over the next few days.

Furthermore, if you are missing some active threads started recently there are some on page 3-5 that have recent comments.

Did you delete the Colombianitas in NYC thread? Despite the title, it had actually evolved into an interesting thread about Colombian culture in the US.

Desideria (Moderator) says on Apr 24, 2008, 09:21:

No.

Well. Someone must have. It is now showing No Such Post. Too bad.

Desideria (Moderator) says on Apr 24, 2008, 09:27:

Yes, I know it's gone.

It's a shame that they delete interesting discussions, but they don't do anything when people post highly inappropriate pictures of people with diarrhea all over themselves or trannies with their testicles hanging out.

vicshere says on Apr 24, 2008, 10:51:

CG the rules appear to be selective for some people....nothing you can do its there site.....they can even kick you ass out of here...its up to them... I wasn’t allowed to have a boob pictures.....but there are profiles which have some

listo

ColombianoGringo says on Apr 24, 2008, 10:53:

Well I for one would rather see some boobs than some guy covered in his own diarrhea. I think someone actually took those pics down, but if that doesn't deserve an immediate ban, I don't know what does.

slguy says on Apr 24, 2008, 10:55:

i gotta believe there's something else goin' on....that wasn't the sort of thing that peter would delete, normally.

Whenever Peter deletes a post Desi loses a day's pay :)

RAAAY says on Apr 24, 2008, 11:23:

Morphus...........You are WRONG...WRONG....WRONG............Desi's does'nt lose a day's pay when Peter deletes a post. She has to pay for her own gas, in her company Mercedes for a day. There is a big difference. Please get your facts correct.

.........Its useless to argue with ignorance

Peter (Moderator) says on Apr 24, 2008, 12:18:

I deleted elmo's post, perhaps that was a mistake, sorry for that then. Boob profile pics are not allowed, if you see a user who has one let me know.

Poor but snappy

slguy says on Apr 24, 2008, 12:29:

you deleted that entire thread over a couple boobs???

not once have i ever been critical of the moderation here before, peter -- in fact i'm a staunch defender of anyone who does the job - but deleting that thread was pretty reactionary. did you even read any of it after spotting the tits?

kat1 (Moderator) says on Apr 24, 2008, 12:47:

he was distracted by the tits jiji... can't blame him :))

engage brain before opening mouth

Desideria (Moderator) says on Apr 24, 2008, 12:51:

Slguy...you had to read pretty deep into that thread to find any redeeming value in it....of course it took a totally different direction after you people started discussing their Colombian roots and how they felt about your heritage.

It's a good idea to start a new thread if you want to discuss something important like that and not just hijack a thread with pictures of barflies and how to hook up with women in N.Y..

slguy says on Apr 24, 2008, 12:52:

then he oughta learn about the "control" key, not just "delete" is what you're saying? ;)

If I had a 'control' key for this forum all our problems would be over ;)

Poor but snappy

Peter (Moderator) says on Apr 24, 2008, 13:58:

ps: the deleted thread and the boob profile pictures are 2 separate issues, not related.

Poor but snappy

webmanco says on Apr 24, 2008, 14:01:

Peter could not take his eyes of them, the tities, How could he read the thread?? JK.

But, I'm going to start making some assumptions here.... Which means I might actually end up making an ass out of myself ..........Thu 04 17, 2008 11:34 am

robi666 says on Apr 24, 2008, 17:24:

I was out the whole day...
What did it happen?
Someone posted a photo of Desi's boobs and the entire thread was deleted?
Vic got finally an extension?
Peter showed that Belgian people hate Irish people and so deleted the Cali Irish guy account (which was infact another Ray's account)?

You guys and gals are too funny! Peter and Desi keep up the good work.
