Speaker's post is inappropriate for this forum because it discusses and advocates violence. We have no desire to hang our butts out on this kind of thing and do not wish to be seen as advocating violence on this forum. Discussion of theoretical aspects of revolution is one thing, but advocating we go out and do it is another.
Hence, I'm going to save this entry elsewhere in case the moderator consensus goes against me on this, but I am going to go ahead and delete it at this time.
Merged Two topics on "Former congressman warns of Detention camps in America" by Security Six & Basil Fishbone
March 4 2008, reset email address for 'freetraveler' by request as the old email was defunct.
I would like to like to propose a postpin topic at the top of Monitoring & Surveillance.
"List of Cities with smart card ticketing for public transportation"
In this Monitoring & Surveillance forum since it will be used for human traffic pattern monitoring (for better transporation efficiency of course...) Any new cities can be added with posts to this thread for example, train/subway/bus service, name of card, type of technology used in the card, date of trial or start of city's use of the new smartcard/contactless transportation card.
It will reduce the threads for new cities on the forum itself.
something similar to:
"List of Countries with National ID card/ E-license and year expected" postpin thread
in ID Issues
When a moderator has time any ticketing threads can be put into this public transportation thread.
Looks like we have two threads covering the same stuff here:
https://thementalmilitia.com/forums/index.php?topic=17084
and:
https://thementalmilitia.com/forums/index.php?topic=17094

by the time I get back there, the title is changed and I can't find it anymore.It ain't a perfect system, but it's what we got. And the search function seems to be a bit cludgey anyway, even on the best of days. If it worked better I might be more inclined to tinker with thread titles, but it would be a lot of work to start making a lot of changes now. Not to mention the confusion it would cause, and I've already had a few folks complain of broken links from recently merged threads.

It's rated a twelve on the gauge scale.

  Edited a post by Klapton which contained content that violated the terms of service agreement which prohibits the use of abusive or threatening language.
  Posters are reminded that civil responses are a requirement here, and also a much better way to get your message across. Abusive, threatening posts, and posts which merely "attack the person" without rebutting the idea may make you feel better, but do not reflect well on your position and are not persuasive.
Edited out portion of post by Anduril to Objectivity thread which violated TOS.
And since no one else can see what was objectionable, a correction is impossible.
Just as the USC is imponderable to most Americans, so might the TOS be to those who haven't memorized it, not to mention those who hold 1A as much more important.
If the search engine could find "TOS" in anything else but "tos"sed, maybe we could review it more regularly.
If we are not to know the contents of the mighty TOS, we will inevitably violate it, just as we do the laws of which we are ignorant.
Is there a shrine to the TOS to which those of us who gesticulate may attend?
If the search engine can't find it, it is probably for a good reason.
But, there is no point in knowing it if it's enforcement is arbitrary, especially selectively against "trolls," the cybernigger, it appears.
If you define "nigger" not by the color of skin but by actions: Whiny, always the victim mentality, A desire for power over others while having no restraint on their own behavior, and a foul language set, Yes, that description is accurate.
1. Civility: TMM asks that all participation in the forums be civil and respectful. Posts which are defamatory, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, or violate another individual's rights may be deleted.
it was 100% objectionable. Had I moderator powers, the post would have been deleted as soon as I saw it. I only hope the person it was directed at was spared the insult of seeing it.

Vonu, you can attempt to defame us to your heart's content and say what you will to attempt to denigrate the admins. You are wrong. The only lobbying done was done by Anduril himself. The crosshairs comment was the last straw. A word of warning, since you don't like our secret voting, you are 1 vote away from being shunned your own self. There is no holdout per se, just an admin who has not logged in recently.

All tyrants eventually take actions to silence their critics. Y'all are no different.
And to think I once believed that you believed what you wrote, and defended your writings from those who acted like you now do.
Letting a newbie come in and start defaming senior members, regardless of how you feel about them, is a bit like letting your child walk into a gathering of adults in your home and start slinging stuff at your guests, IMHO.

I don't have to defame you, even if it were my choice, because your actions fit the online descriptions for a Star Chamber, secret and arbitrary, in particular.
You can all go hide in your cave and turn mental militia into mental masturbation. That's where you're headed.

Vonu, Ragnar has just spoken the truth to you. As soon as the Administrator who has not voted shows up over at Admin, the final vote shall be cast regarding your status and privileges here at TMM. All the rest of us have already cast our votes to shut you down. Just one more Admin who is not here right now - that's all that's needed to shut you down. I've got a hunch that that Administrator shall cast a vote reflecting the general consensus of the rest of us, and if that happens, you're going to lose your privileges here just as anduril has lost his. In the meantime, if I hear one more god-damned peep out of your sorry ass about how this place is administered by the ownership, I'll shut down your ability to post here while we're waiting for that last vote.
Am I getting through to you, vonu? :)
Salute!

Nobody can rightfully enter another person's home to criticize or denigrate them. You can do so to your heart's content from your own property, but not as a guest somewhere else.
TMM is private property. We are all guests of the owner. If he chooses to tolerate uncivilized behavior for a while, that does not mean he will do so forever.
Live with it - or go home.
Y'all can act just like the megalomaniac Boston Tea Party, or you can act like you are truly interested in free intellectual discourse. It is your choice, and if you choose the former, no defense can save you from being grouped with other intellectual nazis.
I'll say the same thing to you I did to Boston, quit your bitching or carry out your threats. He made the threat twice and only took the action when I pushed him into the corner he built for himself.
I don't feel poorer for being exiled from FSW, and this forum is so full of itself that it would miss me more than I'd miss it.
I was home, but somebody let the vermin in and they ate the best intellectual seed corn and stayed to deposit the manure.

While I'm nowhere near mod status, I'd have to agree. He's making claims that would be of interest to certain agencies, even if they are way 'out there'.
We can do well without any further of this from the member being considered or any others in the future who violate the rules, post in a manner that might bring legal problems to those owning and operating the forum,..............

The thread got moved. It's at http://thementalmilitia.com/forums/index.php?topic=22483.0
What you deleted, Elias, was the "MOVED: U.S. Government Owns Twitter?" thread left behind in "Oath Keepers" by the thread movement process.
Pm had been sent to two members who posted entire articles, asking them to edit their posts in compliance with TMM policy on copyright material. No response was received, so the appropriate edit was made for both in the thread called: From a Rancher.I did edit as soon as I got back to my computer. Sorry I am not on here all day and night. I have dsl and leave the forums I want to read up so they are loaded. I did it within 4 hours, sorry I had laundry and some other housecleaning things to do. You did the edit in an hour after pming me.
An ad was placed in the barter section offering .45 primers. Extremely large photos were also posted later. A pm was sent requesting that the photos be resized, but no response was received. Photos were deleted, with a post to the thread letting him know that they could be put up again when resized.

Any author who tries to restrict their articles, I will laugh at.
PM to DadaOrwell re: "Outlaw Journalist" defies orders to stop recording, requesting he edit to conform to TMM policy on copyrighted material.
The restriction on posting whole articles is more about copyright than bandwidth. Text is exponentially smaller than pictures, which are exponentially smaller that music and videos. If he is the author/publisher, he can repost his whole article without violating copyrights and getting us in trouble.
You have a point, Mama Liberty. It makes sense to ask people who repost their own articles to say explicitly that they are the author. I know that DadaOrwell is Dave Ridley, but you may not, and it may be even more unobvious in the future.

Actually, I think his point was that the ignoring idea everyone had doesn't seem to have the desired affect. I could be wrong, but that was my interpretation.
And I don't think he'll "get over it" until someone actually does something to prevent him from doing it. Until then, he'll continue to do it as he's learned that any threats to the contrary are all bark and no bite. Again, my opinion and observation of the situation. Take it for what you think it's worth.

Hi there! Don't know if I need to PM a moderator or if I'm supposed to post here... Anyway, I started three different threads about safes and was wonderin' if someone could merge them? They're all under the Special Interest: Two in Gulching; one in the Guns section. Many thanks!!!!

Removed posting privileges for an account under the name "oxi". I did this because of the extremely sensitive position of Oath Keepers currently under national spotlight. This will last for 14 days. After 14 days, if oxi returns and continues to post libelous statements which could be used against Oath Keepers and/or TMM, I'll take his case to the Administration here and vote for full ban.
Salute!

The one in Recommendations is marginal. If I see any others I'll probably pull the plug on all of them and discuss with the mods blocking that person or bot, or whatever. Can't always be avoided. :)

HWG: There's a difference between leaders and rulers. Rulers control others for their personal benefit; leaders lead because that's who they are. And leaders teach others to lead themselves; they're constantly working themselves out of a job, so to speak. Humans will always have folks who lead, but no human needs a ruler.
I know it's a decision to be made by the Admins, but is there any way to delete a post with an explanation of why it was deleted? There are a lot of threads with deleted posts, and when you read it, it doesn't make sense--the context is gone. Perhaps a line like, "Post deleted due to offensive content" would help later readers understand why someone below is ranting.
I suppose as providence would have it, I just joined this site and my very first post was on that thread. As I mentioned in that post, I am glad it was left up for all to see. For without shadow of a doubt, anyone with half a brain can read that thread and now clearly see what a true racist is from the vile comments that are spewed forth.

Sometimes when I put the keyword in search nothing comes up on the first attempt. Then on the second doing the same thing I get pages and pages.
Having had much personal experience with the TMM search engine BangHead, let me just share my alternative. Use Google advanced search and constrain the domain to thementalmilitia.com
I've never looked for the twinkie thread using TMM SE however I just did it on Google and Page 1 of the thread was the top hit.
Sometimes when I put the keyword in search nothing comes up on the first attempt. Then on the second doing the same thing I get pages and pages.
I agree with you on the funkiness of the search engine. Yesterday I used the search engine as (I figured) a quick way to find the infamous Twinkies thread. But searching on the word "Twinkies" brought up several threads with brief mentions of Twinkies -- and not the endless, five-year-old thread dedicated exclusively to the worship and study of Twinkies!
Still ... the people who constantly start duplicate threads aren't tripping up on the search engine's quirks. The same people do the same thing over and over again. It seems to be because they don't actually spend much time reading or getting to know what's on the board. They just like to start threads. There's even one person here who shall remain nameless who actually started two threads on the same topic himself when another such thread already existed and he'd already been told he was duplicating. Arrrgh.
No offense to anybody who occastionally starts a duplicate; we've all done it & the mods are helpful about it. But some people just don't give a damn.
Guilty...

teach myself Drupal - so I can do some free lance web development. I've been "meaning to do that" for over 2 years now. The thing holding me back is I think I need a good 8 hours or more uninterrupted to get my WAMP or LAMP development server working at home. I don't see that as something I can do with an hour here or there.

I just jumped into jai-mann's shit with all fours. I'd like to note that I've just deleted three of his posts on a thread about "zionism 101". I did not follow my own protocol, so I'm apologizing to the Administration here.
<snip> But as soon as a discussion on "zionism" moves over into a discussion on "the Jews", I'll be raising more hell than anyone wants to see.Â
jai-mann did it again, an obvious provocation involving a virulent anti-semitic rant.

What the heck?! Why is JUNKER now appearing as guest?!
Strange. I'm downloading last Saturday's full backup as I type this. His web site, http://delanion.com/, is still up. I've sent him email asking whether the deletion here was intentional. I'll restore it when he gets back to me, unless he asks me not to.
MamaLiberty runs the ship here, with help from the rest of the moderating team. I just keep the bits flowing.
No response yet from Junker to my email of this morning...
No response yet from Junker to my email of this morning...
Should *we* be concerned?...
I got an answer to my email. Junker left intentionally. I reminded him that he forgot to say goodbye. Hope he'll have a message for me to post here about it. No big emergency, at least none that he mentioned or alluded to.
Just a note to let folks know, I've been dumping spam postings as of late.
Not deleting the accounts or anything..............just dumping the postings.
If we get more spam postings from those same accounts I'll dump the accounts as well.
I'm doing it in the hope of teaching these folks that while they're welcome here, their spam is not.............
And not only Junker's gone, but it seems that FF left too...........and that's too bad, because I actually enjoyed "talking"(typing) with her.
Wonder what's up with that?
I was wondering where FF and Junker went too...Maybe they feel the crunch coming and are worried about OPSEC. :dontknow:
Maybe they feel the crunch coming and are worried about OPSEC. dontknow*LMAO*............yeah ok
I can't remember the last time there was a protracted, useful, civil discussion, as in exchange of beliefs and opinions. Â
Time is short, there are many things to do. I think Junker and FF decided they had better things to do with their time. Perhaps they are right. I miss them.
All it takes is a *bump*.
With a comment or not ....
"Sure, but I'd much prefer to see some sort of comment. If a person had a reason to bump it, why not share it? Personally, I tend to ignore a "bump" with no input from the bumper."
I think of the threads as "Neverending" sories/ books on their subject (despite the side trips) as such they are never really dead.  I would actually rather see someone contributing to an old thread, rather than having the same information rehashed in constant new threads.  I remember when I first got here, I think I went a good 2-3 years back in the threads reading before I started seriously posting. There is a lot of Info in them thar threads!
  Just got three Bots. Posts and accounts deleted.

The problem was that I "lost" all of the "unread topics" prior to me joining TMM. You know when there are no more new topics since your last visit, and an link pops up that says "all unread topics" or something like that? Well, before, ALL of the topics in the history of TMM that I have not read yet would pop up, enabling me to work my way through the history of TMM, 1 topic at a time. Not anymore. Now it just shows the unread topics since I joined. I now have to just click on the list of forums to do that. Nothing serious, just odd that it changed for me.

I just wanted to thank you for your tireless efforts. I've done spam patrol. It never ends, and they get more clever as time passes. Your efforts and those of the other mods make this a safe and pleasant place to visit. Thank you.
Peace,
Silver
Maybe I need a new handle so no one confuses me with that person
I nuked CalebMcanelly and one other on my iPhone in bed this morning. I rarely bother to post notices here unless I remember them (or are reminded) when I get to my desk.
Nuked another spam account. At least one a day now. Most seem to come from an ISP starting with 103.
I'm watching....

30th of every month.......
Maybe TMM needs some "hygiene" products to take care of the "monthly problems". :laugh:30th of every month.......
Looking back, that seems to be true this year. A wave of spam near the end of each month. Strange.
Maybe TMM needs some "hygiene" products to take care of the "monthly problems". :laugh:

That's my job. :) I love pushing the "nuke" button.
Removed two abusive posts in the General forum.
StillAGhost, naturally.
Monthly surveillance lurkers? :ph34r: I am surprised we aren't more watched or harassed given the way or discussions frequently go.......
I just deleted a whole mess of them with .ru email address, never activated or posted.
Three spammers and the last of the old "never activated" accounts deleted. Looks like the new captcha question is holding off the ravening beasts now.
Our experience at The Survival Podcast Forum is that the plain-English captcha questions are the most effective tool for reducing spammer registrations -- but they do need to be changed every few months. I'm pretty sure the spammers maintain databases of these questions and answers, so they can automate registration.
Hi, I am new to the site, I have never contributed to a site like this, I read about the forum on Survivalblog.com. I am interested in learning more about making both myself and my family more safe, secure and prepared. I am also interested in making friends and meeting new people that are like minded, can anyone help me understand how to navigate the site and become proficient in using the forum? Thank you,

Oh wait I've got it $00. See you're already up into the double digits. Woo - eee!
Thanks ML.
Thank you for your quick application of cool, clear water and the hot embers of stupid comments.
I think we need a post named "The Pissing Contest" so those that want to take offence and every little thing can go there and have at it. :rolleyes: Seems like almost every post ends up that way.
many moons ago.
George's place was set up for this very thing with George moderating it.
I liked George, but you had to have a very thick skin to go there.
But if you wanted to fight, that was the place for it.
George is gone, bless his soul, So who has the very thick skin to step into his shoes?

Korben's account has been deleted per his request. He further requests that any reference to his location be deleted. I'm not going looking for it, but maybe gooch will look on the "where we are" thread to see if it's there. Let me know if you need help to modify it... can't remember what tools you have.
Mods, would you please combined threads
A series of drills to work with......OMG!
and

they are the same thing.

Thought it was me. Ought 7. :shakehead:
Account of 1samuel8 has been deleted for ongoing violations of membership agreement. We gave this person plenty of opportunity to actually contribute something, and there was no indication of interest in doing so.
All future manifestations of this persona will be deleted as soon as detected. TMM members are urged to participate.
Thanks ML.
My level of exasperation was reaching its critical mark.
This is/was the kind of troll I dislike the most.
He-she-it wanted a flame war but wouldn't respond when SaG tried to drag him-her-it out into the light where he-she-it could be squashed like the insect it is/was.
Hey ML , it's not that I like feeding 'em , it's that they're easier to nuke once they get grabbed by the ears and drug out where the light can hit 'em.
Struck some more abusive posts from StillAGhost. Generally, at this point, I'm just reviewing his recent history and removing anything derogatory to other members.
One of you mods deleted a post that I made. It was on a thread that Moonbeam started about giving allowance to kids. The "gist" of my post was- Tithing is a waste of money. Religion is free. I did not violate any of the TMM Rights. I would like to know why this post was deleted. It seems that I am being censored for speaking out against tithing, and that does not gel with what I thought TMM is all about. I thought that I had the right to speak my mind, so long as I didn't violate the TMM Rights. This is the first post that I have ever had deleted over the course of 4 years and 3000+ posts, so you can obviously see why I am concerned about this.
The "Moderation Log" shows scarmig deleting a bunch of posts by StillaGhost and one from colby556 between June 26 & 29. The "Economics for Kids" thread was started on July 1. I don't see any deletions from there in the log. No idea where DiabloLoco's post went.
Deleting posts with personal attacks regularly now. Just don't go there, people.Was this in reference to my deleted post too, or just in general?

Not worried. Concerned. Still waiting for someone to own up to deleting it, and explain why it was deleted. I suppose that it is possible that the post did not go through, but that has never happened to me before, so I have no reason to suspect that's what happened here.
Not you, DL. I don't know why you are so worried. Far as I know, you are not throwing personal slurs and attacks. That's what I'm deleting. :)

Bill has already verified that NOBODY deleted it.
I have had posts vanish myself. It happens. Trust me, nobody is out to get you. :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It wasn't me (which the logs support, according to Bill), and I'm not a Christian, so I don't have a reason to remove posts that might be considered anti christian. Sorry it disappeared!
Got lots of email messages about forum software being unable to connect to the database. Checked it out. The MySQL server had crashed. Never saw that before. It usually just gets slow for a while, because somebody is connecting to it at a very high rate. Whatever. Restarted it. Repaired database tables, since the error log said that should be done. All appears to be OK.
Split the discussion of sailing ships off from the "silly stuff."
The mysqld process, which is necessary for the forum software to access the database containing all its information, crashed. I restarted it, and everything seems to be working again.
I removed one of my own posts in the Be Afraid, Be VERY Afraid thread. I accidently double posted. :rolleyes:
I'm not sure that I have to report something like that, but being that it was the first time that I have done anything as a moderator, I figured that I may as well post the action here.
Esau came back, briefly, to resume the attack and trolling. No evidence of any actual contribution to the discussion that I could see. The account was nuked, but the posts left in.

Obviously you missed his post in the Gulching thread.
Esau responded in kind to a recent post. He was provoked.
Sorry, but it certainly appears that you were just waiting for a chance to kick him out.

Coming back with another name won't solve anything. I can keep nuking troll accounts all day. If you don't like the way we do things... go away and find someone else to troll.
Keep up the good work, MamaLiberty. And remember, even when you're up to your ass in alligators, that you're doing a fine job of cleaning the swamp.
Mr. St. Clair will explain to you how that would be problematic.
Keep up the good work ML...I for one appreciate it.
As for Area X
how about keeping Georges Place, "Read only" and start a new section under Area X for the more out spoken among us.
also there was talk about limiting who could use it. how about anyone who has been here for over 4 or 5 years.
everyone else can read but not post. or just hide it from those that can not post. once you reach the time limit, then you can see it and post to it.
just my .02
Thank you for your efforts, Mama. You're doing a fine job! It was obvious that the Biblical Names Guy was one in the same who had no intention of engaging productively. Too bad. I for one never have, nor can I imagine ever thinking you are "Queen Bee." It's obvious you care about the forum AND it's members, and if I may quote Carly Simon, "Nobody does it better." :wub:
It seemed that the obvious and overt attacks began right after I inserted the DNFTT icon.
IF I was the spark that caused the fire (not that I don't think the fire wouldn't have flared at some time soon anyway) then I do hereby apologize.
Thanks ML for sticking with a thankless job. (wait what just happened?)*
I was the lead mod for the OK websites (the first two not the most recent version) for the first two years of OK's web life so I know whereof I speak.
* It can't be thankless if we are thanking her ... right? sheesh whatever happened to basic physics?

I dunno... I like that icon mucho. We need to use it more instead of trying to argue with these folks. I'm not very diplomatic... heck, I don't even try half the time. sigh... What you see is what you get. :) At least I'm not trying to fool anyone.
Two strong-willed people butted heads.

You have just a few minutes to decide which account you want to keep, or both will be terminated. "Seeker" and "Remus" have identical ISPs and host names. Isn't that interesting.
This is just more troll behavior.
You should leave the internet sleuthing to Bill before you do anything rash. He can explain.

He's welcome to do so. I have been at this for a long time and I don't have any doubts. Time's up. Goodbye.
Congratulations. You let your myopic vindictiveness nuke at least one innocent newbie.
Congratulations. You let your myopic vindictiveness nuke at least one innocent newbie.
No troll, not with both accounts having the exact same ISP, host name and almost identical email address.
Go away troll. And stay away.
Going away will happen at a time of my choosing. Staying away will also be for me to choose. If you persist in your vindictive, authoritarian, bitchy behaviour, rest assured that I will never leave.
When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? I do hope one of you bows or curtsies graciously and stops this useless bickering.
MamaLiberty has retired for the night, and she asked me to nuke him should he come back.
If she apologizes for her boorish behaviour toward me, I am willing to let bygones be bygones.

I was less than gracious in response to your first posts. I've already said that. I have nothing else to apologize for since I've been responding to trolling behavior as is my job here. If you can drop that, and begin to actually participate here, fine.
I've tried, but you keep deleting posts which most certainly did not violate the TMM Registration Agreement and Moderation Policy. By doing that, you yourself violated that policy.
Removed some more provisional accounts.
But, how the hell can someone redeem himself, as invited, if his posts and account keeps getting deleted?
True, but just because you can, doesn't mean you should. But, how the hell can someone redeem himself, as invited, if his posts and account keeps getting deleted?
Full member accounts were also deleted. Did all the moderators vote on those deletions, as required?
Did you read my list of grievances before it was deleted?
I'm sorry, but I saw nothing to indicate that all the moderators voted on any member deletions. There was no posting of the results, as required in Paragraph 3, nor of post deletions, as required in Paragraph 9.
The rules must apply to everyone, pains-in-the-asses and moderators alike.
Your tone suggests that the public policy change might be something on the order of "Whatever the moderators and administrators say goes, regardless of how arbitrary, capricious, malicious, or vindictive it may be."
If that's the kind of place you envision this to be, then do what you will.
I was, and am now, a Full Member. Deleting this account without going through the proper procedure would reveal much about the nature of those who would blatantly disregard their own rules.

all I see is 6 posts at this time, and it shows you as a "Newbie".
Not a full member.
Requesting more established members to volunteer for moderator posts. The "general interest" area has the most traffic, and so far I'm the only moderator. This isn't going to work well if we have more troll attacks, or when Elias gets his thing going and we are hit with a lot of new folks. It will be even MORE important to quickly discern newbie from troll, and deal with them appropriately. Someone at TMM needs to man the ramparts in the late afternoon and during the evening, if not all night.
Just let me know in a PM and I'll set you up. :)
Hey there ML...as I am already set up for Mod duties but in a low traffic area just add me to General Discussion (or any where else you need some help)
I live to serve...well not really but I am willing to lend a hand.

An another one bites the dust.
Not quite. As I've pointed out, but keep getting censored without reason, proper procedure was not followed. The account deletion policy makes no distinction between newbies, full members, members, senior members, or provisional members.
The rules must apply to everyone, members and moderators alike.
I am willing to take on more as well. Let me know. :mellow:Requesting more established members to volunteer for moderator posts.

Great! I'm waiting to hear from Elias before setting mods for general discussion, but I'll add you to Activism.
I've moved MindWar into a separate area previously set up... called MindWar... go figure. I expect Elias to have specific people in mind to moderate that. But keep checking in. No idea where all this is going ultimately.
I used to be one of the mods on the OK threads and due to my s-l-o-w dial up connection asked to be removed.
IF you need me and can accept the s-l-o-w responses and such I can be helpful as well ML.
Just let me know.
stay safe

Where am I at. Ought 7.
Nuked mole account NMB by our dear friend. He promises more, but we've tightened things up, while still keeping the forum open to new members and posts. If you suspect something, please report it and we will look at it.
I can TRY to check in more often. IF I do find this or any other POS am I cleared to "ban" or just report?
Nuked another NMB account.
Do any of you admins remember nuking "Another Bear"?

I certainly would not have terminated his account, and don't think any of the rest of us would. He's a personal friend besides. I can't account for what the troll did, but suspect that might be the problem. We may never know the extent of the damage. I'll write to him and invite him to make a new account. Thanks for alerting us to the problem, and I do wonder why he never mentioned it to me.

Is it just me, or is TMM agonizingly slow today? :huh:
I haven't noticed any other site being overly slow. Just here. :skeptical:Is it just me, or is TMM agonizingly slow today? :huh:
Not just you. Very slow for me all day today. And I've noticed the same with a few other websites. Had a severe problem with that at PoL the last few days, but it seems to be resolved now. We're going for a major overhaul and update the end of the year. But who knows why things are so unstable on the 'net just now. Couldn't be our benevolent government just seeing to it we are all some how "safe"...
There was an attack yesterday morning. Two IPs doing constant POSTs to xmlrpc.php. I noticed it before breakfast, vowed to block the IPs after I ate and walked, and it was gone when I looked again.
