There is an antispam bot featured installed. Its supposed aim is to help track down spammers based on a set of criteria including filters. Why the bot also hits on posts of regular members is something you might have to mail the Admin for an explanation of. Until you do that, just stay safe with all your posts, use regular words, avoid posting links, stay away from vulgar and avoid constant use of abbreviations. This is just a suggestion.

@ Sissy

Dual Core's answer is an excellent one. I was personally a 'victim' of this spam bot yesterday with two of my posts on this thread.

Please bear with us while we try to resolve the issue. Wink

The anti-spam bot is a very useful tool. Previously moderators spent almost ALL their time removing spammers and getting the admin to ban them, with no time for real moderating duties.

It's not perfect, but we all have to live with it for now till we fine tune it further.

Again, bear with us while it gets improved.

Sam Milla has a system set on his forum and that system seems to be removing and avoiding all Spammers from coming to his forum. Infact am bored that I dont have to delete all this Spamming msg's there and so foirth  Tongue maybe Seun can learn something from him  Smiley

That system was set in a way where no members will get their postings deleted. . . Especially like simple basic postings. . . I posted on my cake thread on how to make a Sweet potato cake on nairaland  and it got deleted I mean common! What a waste of ma time typing that or sourcing that and it got deleted!  Angry

Sam should talk to Seun about this wonderful system of his - but know this, there is NO system that can avoid all spammers. Wink

I've already apologised on behalf of the anti-spam bot - it is being improved as we speak. We won't be perfect overnight, but progress is being made.

Are there any issues you feel needs to be addressed?

No problems Gab, I'd take it that you have no complaints. Wink

Sam, you claimed not to know how to find your "missing thread" yet you come back to this thread each and every time with such perfect ease.

Let it go. It has been confirmed that your thread wasn't deleted, it was merely moved.

I suggest a public e-mail through which you direct other members to your private address. That's what I did!  Wink

This is just an outright attention seeking thread. It is worthy for locking-up and deleting. It is not as if the feedback (if any at all) are taken in. On the contrary, there are already premeditated answers for every concerns raised by respondents on this thread.

Only iice seems to be doing an impressive work on this thread so far. By her having to ignore this thread.

Thank you for your feedback Mr. Pataki.  Grin

Sissy's feedback has been accepted, she's been told why there was a problem with her thread/post. Sam's comment about not finding his post has been addressed - the post has been 'found'.  Smiley

Feedback is a process of hearing what forumites think - regard is as a forum for suggestions. As always, not ALL suggestions will be accepted, but all will be listened to. Wink

Trying to 'railroad' things to go in only one particular direction by continuously posting the same thing will not be successful.

Nice to hear you think iice is a good mod - I shall pass the feedback on to her. Wink

Regarding premediated answers, why wouldn't there be? If I carried out x action with y as my motivation, should I invent a new motivation simply because I am asked to justify why I did xHuh

PM function gave Seun some problems in the beginning - it was used for nefarious purposes (groups using it to attack people they didn't like and what not)  and he felt it was not ideal for all forumites to have PM usage. However, it's something we should look into and see if there are benefits.

You will note that it was relatively recently that PM was activated even for mods. Wink

@ platinum - please direct your queries to the relevant mod for your section Wink

Mine is very easy, just support Man Utd and you'll get under my skin. Bad grammar/spelling does it for me too. Cheesy

However, be warned, I am asking seun to create a rule to ban people with too many grammar bombs. Cheesy

I answered to your question above but Mukina removed the post. (no comment about that)

I didn't see that post on my "show posts"  from my profile.
I wouldnt have asked if i saw it.
I have no issue with anybody here.

I quoted your post above over ten times before it hooked.

Some things malfunction here at the moment.

plus i also believe that there is a programme here that allows only the admin and/or mods to see some posts. (maybe i am wrong).
That could have been the reason.

I dont see why i should post that i didnt see the post knowing fully well that the issue will come up.

Anyway, I just made this post so u get the answer to the question u asked.

Mukina you can go ahead and remove it again.

I think one of your posts was tagged by the spam-bot, that's why you can't see it. I'll report it as 'not-spam' and hope it gets rectified soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Seriously, I need to know what's happening.

I started a thread to find out why I was banned without prior warning and suddenly it was gone - still without any plausible explanations. Moderators, what style of government is this? Just explain your reasons and that settles the problem

Wait, wasn't a thread like this created before? And as I recall, the thread was unstickied and locked by Seun thus making this thread a duplicate thread which also happens to be the reason why PureLogic was banned. Now all things being equal, shouldn't the creator of this thread be banned too?

First of all, how do you know why purelogic was banned? He didn't say he was banned for duplicating threads, so I don't know where that idea is coming from.

A feedback thread is a different beast - the previous one had served it's purpose and there was a need to start on a clean slate with this new one. The other thread is locked, so two feedback threads are not running concurrently Wink

If a thread was  created once, then it got locked, then someone else created it and it got locked again and a third person in an act of defiance  creates a third one, then i think the ban is justified.

Just stay out of trouble and obey the rules ok? Wink

Funny how that doesn't apply to any of the "thighing" threads. That thread was locked back in April. This was created in June, both of them running concurrently is not a valid reason darl. I don't see the need to start a new feedback thread. All you could have done is unlock the previous thread and continue from where you stopped. Matter of fact, that will make more sense so that people don't complain about stuff you already resolved. But if indeed it was that serious to start afresh, you could have simply deleted the posts in the first thread instead of creating a duplicate topic.

So far the Guilty ones in my own opinion include Mukina2( Everyone complains about her high handness and extreme bias Angry), Spikedcylinder(Always arguing sheepishly to proove a dull point Undecided), Michelin89 (I was suprised when i knew she was a mod because i couldnt believe the amount of very lewd and obscene things she normally writes Undecided). You people better wake up and earn your respect that is falling everyday.

Shocked That Michelin89 is really obscene. Wow strange to see you have just 8 posts. Does that mean you are an old member who is too coward to show his face and so hides behind a different username?  Undecided

I may write obscenities, but at least I use my name.
