Oh I think someone with more powers is on and has managed to delete them completely - phew

AnyMinuteNow · 10/11/2019 02:07

Well done you! Thanks Flowers

BritInUS1 · 10/11/2019 02:07

Wow that was intense, I must have removed close to 100 posts

NiteWotcha · 10/11/2019 02:08

no one has more power than NW at this time of night Wink

unless someone has insomnia at HQ?

AnyMinuteNow · 10/11/2019 02:08

They've all gone!

TyneTeas · 10/11/2019 02:08

Sometimes things don't get fixed until they break.

The Nightwatchers do a great job but if you need more tools to do it then hopefully @MNHQ can have another think

(Have a nice evening BritInUS1)

Good work night watchers.

NiteWotcha · 10/11/2019 02:11

thanks @ElGuardiandenoche

spambots are the worst...Angry

AnyMinuteNow · 10/11/2019 02:12

Agreed, there seriously needs to be a mechanism at night to stop an individual poster posting more than one post in succession like that.

It can't be hard to give that job to developers to resolve, I mean a single post successively across random threads is odd behaviour Confused and automatic suspension result.

NiteWotcha · 10/11/2019 02:16

@AnyMinuteNow

Yes indeed

AnyMinuteNow · 10/11/2019 02:19

A red flag.system me thinks!

First red flag
First post contains link to a site, at night!
..and so on ...

@BritInUS1

Um, that'll be me Grin Waiting up for a wayward teen and thought I'd look in on the site...

Thanks so much for hiding all of those dodgy posts, @BritInUS1 (and any other NWers who also helped out) - there were 135 in total! All deleted now, and the spammer's been shown the door.

Wine and Flowers and many, many thanks.

Night, all.

AnyMinuteNow · 10/11/2019 02:23

Good job

Hope wayward teen returns safe to nest soon @DawnMumsnet

NiteWotcha · 10/11/2019 02:23

Thanks @DawnMumsnet !!!

Hope the wayward teen returns soon and you can get some shut-eye SmileBrew

TyneTeas · 10/11/2019 02:24

Oh goodness, I had no idea any of this was going on or I would have pitched in to help! I see I was @-ed a couple of times but haven't received any messages Confused.

Well done to Nightwatch stalwarts and @DawnMumsnet Flowers

AnyMinuteNow · 12/11/2019 00:04

I certainly @'ed you Eine. How odd that @'ing doesn't work Confused

I wonder if any of them did?
