Does that extend to our Thai / Singaporian spammer friend who was flooding the forum with betting syndicate spam that you were so vocal about getting a ‘mod’ installed to clear the site? Whats the difference? No it shouldn't be extended to someone trying to flog stuff on a discussion forum anywhere but in the for sale section and not even there if they are doing so commercially But ok for someone to flood threads with their own ( I use that term loosely, as I don't personally think he has the necessary gumption to formulate his own opinions without the use of google🙄) repetitive nonsense, despite being asked multiple times by ‘virtually all’ of this forums active membership to desist / keep it to his own covid based threads? 🙄

(and I have had a very long think about it)
If someone joined and from the start acted in such a way as to "spam" the forum I would think of it in a different manner.
This forum really is for "us" warts and all and Ross is one of "us" and has been so from the start.
Many of us have met him and know the real life face behind the virtual keyboard irritant

I would hope naughtyfox would listen and adjust his posting style ... at least restricting his 'crayoning' to a few covid threads ... we've all asked that one way or another. I was alarmed by suggestions he should "get a life" and preferably "away from thunderboat" ... the suggestion appeared to be he was being excluded ... my mistake if I got that wrong. I don't read his posts anymore (it appears few do) which is sad ...but back in the beginning this place largely consisted of his flooding threads. I've thankfully never met him ... but he's one of us ... I don't want him to feel excluded. Rog

You’ve missed a trick there, he is fine company. Edit to add.. Completely agree with the rest of your post.

And that really is the disappointing part about his actions! 🙄

I'm not so sure it is obvious he is struggling - he hasn't mentioned it. If he did mention it I'll bet many if not most on here would offer words of support or advice. Some have already. But it has already been mentioned that his posting style has not changed much over the years (only the subject has changed).

I’d always found many of his posts very interesting over the years. Each to their own I guess.

I keep reading the title as Cummings and Gowing.
I don't read books but in my yoof I was educated and proof read a few titles including the diary of a nobody.
Which is a Good Thing.

The name of the book with Comings and Goings as characters is eluding me... Help!
