Scumbag
« on: November 16, 2006, 10:16:01 AM »
Apologies to all who received a highly unpleasant Personal Message this morning from a "RobertT". Needless to say his account has already been deleted and we are taking up the mater with his ISP and possibly the police as well. Let this serve as a notice to anyone else who fancies trying the same trick. We will accept no pornography on this forum, and anyone who breaks the UK law regarding pornography can expect to be reported to the police.

In order to keep an eye on this sort of thing I think we should appoint more administrators to the forum. At the moment we have two full admins - Azzy and me, with Moley and Lloydie as moderators. I think we should have more. What do the others think? Julian, JTH, Rhys and Lloydie to be made full admins?

Update.
I've reported the mater to the guy's ISP, the FBI and North Wales Police. NWP seem vaguely interested in going after him.  8)  8)

I've modded some code I found to delete all the PM's generated by RobertT out of every bodies inbox so I think the immediate issue is over. If we get more trouble like this we'll have to look at moderator approved registration.

 :( Yeah. I've been working on this problem solid since Gwyn's phone call 08.30 this morning.

Once again sorry to anyone who's been offended by the little scumbag's posting.

We now have some new admins to help keep an eye on the forum. The new admins are Lloydie, Julian, GuyB and Rhys. JTH has also been invited.

The forum is now working on an "admin approved" registration system. i.e. when someone tries to join the administrators will all receive an e-mail. One of us can then check-out the new member and decide whether to let them join or not. It should not be possible for anyone to repeat yesterdays actions.

  Opened this e mail about an hour ago. 

  Crikey!  Good job I'm open minded. 

  Has this happened because you're using myspace now?

No. I just looks like we were unlucky. Many/most forums get the occasional problem - but it's usually limited to postings about buying Viagra etc. This guy was determined to do some serious damage in order to advertise his website. Grrrrrrrrr  :x

Sorry for being "SLOW" but I just worked out.. even though I'm  a "MoD"  (Not an Admin though)  even i can't access all the members of the forum at once by going to the old page which had a list of everybody.
So..
The only way to contact all members is to read EVERY POST...
This is impossible
Scumbag couldn't have done this !!!
So he must've hacked into Divine Ruler's ADMIN FILE..
Hence he posted as ADMIN !

This is therefore a hacker and not a one off !!!

Is there a way of getting rid of the 1 personal message showing on my profile as there is no message there now?
