Actually, it has changed slightly, Al (assuming things are the same here as they are over at HoF, which I presume is the case). We got an email early last month telling us that the support was being taken over by something called Noeclue, and giving us a new url to go to for support. Presumably the same email was sent to whoever's email address was used here. I forgot about that when I contacted tinwë about the bot mods. It still is just as easy to submit a ticket, but it needs to be done at the right place. (And you login with the email address and password, rather then the username and password.)

Good luck!

I will do what I can to help. It seems like every single time that I log on, I am deleting one or more of these things.

Edit: Make that 4. Just as I finished with the third, another one popped up.

Killed. That's my second one today.

This isn't just a problem for us. Another forum I frequent has been spammed to death with these things - more fool them for letting them start posting!

They post all the time at another small board I visit. Usually just posting their stupid links.

eta - here's a delightful example:

:Q Unbelievable.

And there was another one further down in the forum.

So how long does it take for those threads to be deleted?

That board is tiny - just a handful of friends - so the admin doesn't bother. He probably doesn't have much time. If you look at that forum, 90% of it is bot threads.

I'll leave you one, too. I think that there are plenty of these stupid things to go around at this point. Two, already and it wasn't even 8am. :rage:

Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
