suein56 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) The forum is receiving posts from unknown people who are promoting smthg .. either their services, their company or 'n'importe quoi'. Some posters/readers might be happy to see these posts ..but others might not, including me. As none of these posts here been removed I can only assume that Wooly and Hoddy have no power/authority to verify/authorise these new posters. This, if a true view of their position, worries me. This new site is very odd .. ok I understand it is 'off the shelf' .. but it is reminiscent, to me, of smthg akin to a bizarrely extruded form of a Twitter a/c.

anotherbanana Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Yes, suein, Archant are aware of the problem. Meanwhile very frustrating for Hoddy and I not being able to do anything. Fingers crossed something happens soon. And, yes, software definitely a cheapo, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 It's true to say that communications are not brilliant at the moment. I notice that we have lost both ways of sending messages too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 This must be so frustrating for you both .. it does appear to be very limiting software. 11 hours ago, anotherbanana said: Yes, Archant are aware of the problem.

I notice that we have lost both ways of sending messages too. If you click on the person’s emoji ‘circle’, then it brings up that person’s profile.  Within that is the ability to message that individual - not sure whether that’s a ‘PM’ or an email.  The latter I’d guess. You can also ‘report’ a post by clicking on the three asterisks in the trhc - you then have ‘report’ as an option on the dropdown. I’m stating the bloomin’ obvious here, but some narrative to help with site navigation would have been helpful.  Not the fault of the mods - they should have been the first to know!

suein56 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 As neither Hoddy nor Wooly appear to have informed about the new website before it arrived I rather think that they might have lost the message contact they had previously with Complete France Admin .. just guessing at that.

Hoddy Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It's true that we weren't informed and our 'powers' have not been reinstated. We cannot, at the moment, delete advertising posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) But I have been reporting the undesirable posts though to whom they are going I am not sure and I think they have been disappearing, havent they?

Peter Raven Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hi all, I work at Archant and have been moderating a similar messageboard on another site. I'm not sure who in the company was responsible for moderating the old forum but it looks like it's fallen my way for the time being. if you hit the report button I can delete any posts which break the rules and ban the user if necessary.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Thank you Peter, as one of the two active moderators here ( we have/ had our own approved moderators forever ) IÂ have been reporting but the problem now seems to be with websites insinuating themselves. Will let you know which ones are the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hello again Peter, could you please remove what looks like websites insinuated into the forum as electrician91 and a travel website UtmostExpeditions. Many thanks, anotherbanana ( dont ask) or Tim if you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betise Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Peter Raven, anotherbanana and Hoddy were our moderators, but now their profiles only show them as members, if they could regain their moderator status it would ease your workload, and slow down all of the bots that are posting spam here.

anotherbanana Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Some posts have been removed but I dont know how to get rid of the bots; Peter Raven has not been a moderator until today and I am assuming that it is a temporary arrangement as I cannot imagine that Archant have an employee who acts a moderator for multiple forums.

suein56 Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hang on in there Wooly .. you might have to wait til Monday, as it is now the weekend, but there are those of us who will back you and Hoddy if this Peter (Raven) doesn't come up with some useful hints.
