2. YOU HAVEN'T DELETED ANY FUCKING POSTS. Leaving empty shit hanging there doesn't count. Leave the stuff up and ban the fucker or nuke the posts and ban the fucker but for christ's sake, how can you say the above when YOU "HAVE THE TIME" TO GO BACK AND FUCKING WRITE SMARTASS SHIT IN PLACE OF THE OLD TEXT. If it's easier to delete the whole thread then DELETE THE WHOLE THREAD. Yes, that is exactly what Chet did. Repeatedly.


OK, jeep, you're seriously making me hold my fingers to my temples.

There was recently a spammer you didn't see and my post was regarding that issue, not the whole Zseni issue and people responding to her old dangling threads - I don't care if people respond to those. This new spammer's posts were not just changed to smartass shit, I blew them off the fucking face of the posts database - I also banned his IP block, and nearly someone elses who responded to him with all his Q's inlined.

JUMPING BACK TO THE ZSENI SITUATION OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE WHY MUST WE GO ON ABOUT THIS FUCKING TOPIC - What ES was worried about was someone responding to a deleted thread - which might mess up the threading code. That's really as much as I've been told on the topic, so it'll have to suffice for you. It was a legitimate concern because in three different forums there were responses to Zseni's spam. I advised him on two occasions to delete them all - and he told me 'no.' Since not only is he the site head, but the DB manager, it's his final call twice over.

JUMPING BACK TO THE PRESENT In the event of a post needing to be deleted, I will remove it from the database entirely. This is what I've done - since Entropy Stew is on vacation for a few days, I went through the psql buffer, found the last time he deleted a post, made sure the command matched the time before that - and then used that same command again to delete the current offenders. Seems reasonable, no?

Until he gets back and tells me that I'm missing something or that you're an idiot (the former being more likely), I'll assume this is good enough for the time being.

For there to be code would mean for him to write it since I don't have any hardware currently in any condition to handle a secondary experimental Caltrops mirror to play with coding upon. Currently, the situation around here hasn't left him feeling very motivated at all regarding being involved with the site and writing more code for it. Your forcing me to get into the gladiator pit over an administrative issue is making me feel likewise - and I'm feeling pretty goddamned unmotivated regarding things around here myself.

Jeep, I like you. But as regards administrative issues around here, consider this a 'fuck off' to friend and foe alike.
