Posters we never knew

That’s interesting, Pap.

But something I find even more interesting is all those posters we glimpsed for an all too short while, before they disappeared. For instance, I had high hopes for Cascadia Saint, especially after he revealed that he had Isle of Wight connections; but now he’s, seemingly, gone, leaving just Furbs and me with Island associations … well, if you exclude the bloody bloke on that damn map of yours :confused:

Yeah, that is something I wonder about too. There were a couple of accounts I needed to be firm with, Dave_Of_Clausentum and StickyWhiteDovePiss spring to mind. But yeah, Cascadia is a mystery, and has one of the coolest personal badges going :slight_smile:

On the forum that I moderate on, we used to delete all posters who sign up and then post nothing after 6 months of innactivity, any plans for binning off inactive posters pap?

That’s a good shout. Deleted some already, but they were the basis of a lot of my spam rules.

It would be interesting to get some feedback on why people stop posting

I was thinking more of people who sign up, but never post at all. I can understand more that people may just stop posting for various reasons, but to sign up and never post seems stranger to me

Good idea. If all the posters that don’t post could post to let us know why they don’t post then we’ll all be better equipt to encourage them to post in the future (post non-posting enquiry).

Double negative (s) :cry: … Downvote

I agree, and I’ve been in contact with a couple of the posters I talk to anyway, such as Tokes. But there’s a delicate balance between wanting a bit of feedback and being needy enough to seek it. I could email them, but it’s a bit stalkery and I figure they’ll be back at some point to see how we’re doing.

Moi?

As I recall, Tokes is a ****.

But what has happened to him? Prison privileges revoked?

His tag interferes with his wifi.

He is, as the Bear would say, very business at the moment. Pah, even I go through slow posting phases, with matchdays being the absolute worst.

I initially signed up just as part of a brand protection exercise.

It would be easy to take a name that is infamous elsewhere and start using it.

Imagine seeing some random nutjob post a load of old bollox using a brand you have nurtured, when you have your own load of old bollox to post.

Well that hasn’t gone well. Half the posters on this site have nicked your avatar.

Exciting times were dashed in the early hours of Tuesday morning as I processed the application of our 132nd poster. All the initial signs were good. The username, JeremyCync, did share some hallmarks of the spammer usernames, but it could just have easily been a Jeremy Corbyn supporter or critic, perhaps coming here to set the record straight on matters.

It was not to be. JeremyCync fell at the first hurdle, failing the Russian test.

*No you can’t. Fuck off.

Seems to be a few more for the bin today pap.

Cheers Goatboy,

That was an interesting attempt. Didn’t even attempt to use real email addresses.

I was really looking forward to hearing from A Sphincter Says What, but I guess he did not pass the sniff test.

good work Pap
