Hi, they are not bots, they are an individual posting messages. We are working with their ISP to stop their abuse of the forum and its users.

Hello Admin

do you not have any moderators these days?

[Administrator]

Hi Alan Medic, yes we still do have a team of moderators, why do you ask?

[Alan Medic]

Hmmmmm, just thought things were getting a bit out of hand. Multiple threads on football started overnight. That sort of thing.

[Administrator]

We don't monitor the forum 24 hours a day, and we don't read all the threads. We do 'sweeps' of the forums every now and then where we tidy things up but we would not touch a few football threads in the Lounge as they do not break any rules and who knows, they may work and become popular.

We do however act on reported messages as soon as possible.

Can you tell me why I have been blocked from posting messages on the Gossip forum?

[Administrator]

Because you were sent a polite message a few days ago asking you to not post messages about businesses in the gossip section, please post them in the businesses section. You then posted another message about ED businesses in the gossip section, so a block was put on you posting in there because it's a waste of my time having to continually clear up after you.

[Frankito]

Ok ok message received. The reason I did that was because there is another thread in there too on a very similar subject..

I promise not to do it again...B)

[Administrator]

Posting a duplicate thread eh? Now that's another offence... but anyway you can now post in the ED Issues & Gossip section.

[Frankito]

As dictators go, you are beautiful....

Hello Admin,

Can you tell me please, is it possible to send a PM from more than one person, e.g. jointly with another/other forumite(s)? If so, how?

Thanks.

[Administrator]

Hi

Not that I'm aware of. Have you received a joint PM?

[Laddy Muck]

No, but I would like to send one jointly with someone else to a group of people. Not to worry. And thanks for getting back so promptly (so early in the morning too!).

[Alan Medic]

Dear Admin

I'm sure I declared my love for someone in the fooball thread this morning and it appears to have been deleted. If I can remember who it was, where should I do this in future?

[Administrator]

The person in question is someone we are currently taking action against, and all their inappropriate posts (and references to them) are being removed.

If you wish to declare your love to someone in future I suggest you do it in person, soberly and in front of an enchanted moon in Paris.

Admin would like to remind people that this is not an extension of the lounge.

Admin thanks people.

*removes above props* ;-)

[Alan Medic]

Admin, in your attempts to keep the place tidy, have you ever thought of putting a thread from the Lounge into the Drawing Room? I'd have thought that Slutwalk would be ideal for such a move.

[RosieH]

Can I ask why this thread was moved? I posted it in the Lounge as that's where I wanted it.

Since when do we have a rule that the Lounge is only for tedious word games and comments about football? We're supposed to be able to talk about anything in there, and it wouldn't have attracted the comments it has had it been in the Drawing Room.

Sorry to be a pain in the arse, but could you move it back please?

[mockney piers]

It was done at the suggestion of other forumites, it has now been moved back at the complaints of others.

We may flip flop but never let it be said we don't listen.

[Alan Medic]

Has huncamunca been banned? I see he has been deactivated. I just wondered if the cat lovers of ED united to request he be removed?

[RosieH]

Thanks Mr Mockney, much appreciated. I knew things could be moved to the Lounge but wasn't aware stuff could be deemed too serious to stay there.

If that's the case, I wonder if it might be time to revisit my former proposal for a Playpen or Sandpit section, where people who don't like sentences can hang out?

[mockney piers]

I'm pretty sure there are other fora that fit that bill rosie.
