Sorry we can't suspend accounts Sad

Will keep zapping tho

DeRigueurMortis · 01/08/2019 03:10

Thanks Nite but it's a game of whackamole.

@MNHQ - suggestion that night watch ought to be able to suspend accounts or you have an escalation process in place that Mods who can suspend/wield the ban hammer can be called to do so in situations such as these.

MashedSpud · 01/08/2019 03:14

He’s still doing it. MN have hidden one or more posts.....why not ban?

MashedSpud · 01/08/2019 03:15

Ah, I see. Back to bed for me then.

NiteWotcha · 01/08/2019 03:17

NightWatch is on duty at the mo, and we can't ban.

Also this is of course a bot, and not a real person (probably) so it can carry on alllll night (sigh)

DeRigueurMortis · 01/08/2019 03:21

Of course it's a bot...which is why you're trigger finger is going to get very sore.

It's not a sustainable approach from MNHQ.

I'm not suggesting 24hr moderation but there has to be a middle ground here which involves suspending accounts such as this, or having access to on call escalation to do so.

He’s here too:

DeRigueurMortis

yep you're right - this doesn't happen very often, but NightWatch will have another chat with HQ to see what can be done.

Thanks!

NiteWotcha · 01/08/2019 03:25

its actually doing quite a nice job of bumping Unanswered Threads Grin

DeRigueurMortis · 01/08/2019 03:38

You're welcome nite and thank you for your efforts.

@mnhq please take this under consideration.

NiteWotcha · 01/08/2019 03:39

it seems to have stopped now - so I'll go back and clean up some of the older threads.

Thanks all Flowers

NiteWotcha · 01/08/2019 03:50

Spoke too soon...Confused

SimplySteveRedux · 01/08/2019 03:54

CupoTeap · 01/08/2019 04:51

Still going have reported loads of them!!

PatricksRum · 01/08/2019 04:52

Repeatedly reporting.
@NiteWotcha Do you have access to the reports? There posted on active repeatedly. Could you keep zapping?

MargotsFlounceyBlouse · 01/08/2019 04:53

They are spamming a thread about tattoos too. I've just reported.

tryingtobebetterallthetime · 01/08/2019 05:20

I am 8 times zones from the UK (behind) and have watched this unfold. I am seeing it appear still, one just seconds ago. I can ignore but honestly it is definitely not what you want to see on sensitive topics. I have seen at least one poster get this garbage as the first reply to her post crying out for help.

I am hoping it is now late enough in the early morning in the UK that someone can stop this and ban the user. Please. It is starting to do damage.

Thanks for your efforts. Much appreciated.

Thanks.

You are a star!
