hey guys, although the past months have been pretty much spam free, the occasional spammer slides in. Maybe there should be an "official spam reporter" thread where as the mods can beaware that one has "struck". This way we the members don't have to PM one of you guys, you can just check it out when you log onto the site. Just one of my brain farts!

Good job reguardless!!!!

Sorry guys, Richard has informed me about the "report button", I guess I have not paid attention!

 

Thanks for the heads up, vigilance is always appreciated, especially when they are buried in a thread.

Note to self; must try harder. LOL

 

Thanks for the thought anyways Rick and glad you found the report post button
We weren't deliberately hiding it from you honest

We're all doing our best on the spam and not too much is getting through, so far....hopefully this continues.

Feel free to "report post" and we'll try n do our bit ASAP

Thanks Rick

All the best

Jim

 

Hi all, keep the old eyes peeled. It seems that the sandwich fillers are posting about car cleaning devices of late.

As always, we appreciate all your help in keeping this forum as clean as possible.

 

Maybe a different graphic could be used for "report post".

Other forums use a button that says "report post" so that the the button function is obvious. Otherwise it is just some other random eye candy on the page to most users.

Remember, the cardinal rule of web usability design is: "don't make me think".

 

Thanks Rich...It seems we need to be more vigilant I guess. We've almost had it good recently with relatively few issues. I'm sure we'd all like to keep it that way!

Looking into your pm issue Rich

Thanks

Jim

 

HI! Jim, seems astho somebody named glebshein, has jacked my garage and cars, from my avatar.

on XJS site, and post ,xjs V12 conv, to 2jz-gte turbo, OP was vexred,

posts were #15 #17 #19, using my garage and cars, but it was way back in 2008, so havent heard anything else.

unless he is somwhere else on site??

 

Hey Ron....all ok now or do you need me to do anything for you?
Please advise!

 

everything ok , just hope this guy dont comeback!

THX again

 

Hi Ron, you should be in the clear. I checked in every way I could, the guy is gone.

However, when you say HiJacked, would you PM me with what happened. Always looking to improve things.

If, all he did was to reproduce the pics of your cars, then pretty much anyone can do this anywhere on the Net, with any picture, from any site. (providing they have access to the pic).

We have tightened new member privileges a lot since this happened, also the Mod team has grown with the forum.

If anyone feels, or sees that they are under some sort of attack, let any of the mod team know, or simply use the 'Report Post' feature, it gets about the same immediate reaction as poking a stick in a nest of hornets.

Snag is, hornets don't have a 'Nuke em' feature'. We do! and after investigation will use it.

We will always work to protect the Forum and it's members.
