I found that amusing too! A spammer asking for help to spam! It's unfortunate what has happened there, it was good, I received a lot of help there, but now it's sad. I feel sorry for some of the legitimate members, I think there is some real first timers looking for help, but most of the people posting there aren't real. I think some of the old guys are slowly starting to see this as well.

400 new trolls in 12 days must be some kind of record.

Well my latest troll ban has apparently expired and I'm now allowed to browse the old site again. It was impossible before because I never logged out and every time I'd try to pull it up the troll screen appeared.
I now see what you guys mean that the place just got weird over there. Threads locked down, certain threads gone (Trump thread no more), newbies with selfies and semi relevant questions... I think they best be blowing air into the life rafts because that ship is sinking.
I do have some work to do there tough. Unsure ow many posts I really have but a few that I've looked at has had the content in them altered to the point they make know sense making me look like an idiot or altered to make me look like a bigger ass than I usually am. Somehow I connect the dots, add 2 and 2 to get 4, and see a duck walking and quacking like a duck so assume its a duck to make the semi educated assumption that when I was banned with no access to my account for the last month yet a few of you guys said on my profile I was "browsing content" that my account was being manipulated by someone above my head.
I need to figure how to get someone to do a complete delete of my posts and if it involves complete termination of the account then so be it as long as any and all altered content is gone as well.

Your posts have been altered? Any examples?

Certain posts had parts of them deleted. Most likely posts that had some "controversial" content, to the admin anyway.

Also when the first time poster puts a profile picture up. Spends the time to do that but not get involved in the discussion after asking the original question.

I had put some information down myself in that thread, was not paying much attention to the original poster as I assumed it was someone who had been around on there for at least a little while until just now when it was pointed out that was in fact a first time post and what country sign is that anyway ?

Uh a Frenchman, perhaps he was looking for a tractor in which the girls would find him sexy ... wasn't aware its the wrong shade of green.

Here is another strange post on the other forum only this time its dragging up a thread that's a year and half old and a first time poster bringing up a topic that is somewhat odd in the way he did, not asking a question but rather telling others something that doesn't even apply to where he lives. I thought perhaps the games were finally over on that site but seems it keeps bubbling under the surface.

First time poster? He joined in 2012 and has over 1700 posts unless I’m reading something wrong?

First time poster? He joined in 2012 and has over 1700 posts unless I’m reading something wrong? Well isn't that interesting, that "thirteenth" post just vanished into thin air as I had not explained myself well enough, it was not the original poster of that thread nor the last poster "now" but a post today from some country flag I am not familiar with ( might have been Iran, not sure ) spouting off about soil and rust of metal screw pilings and being that its in the ground its sealed from the oxygen and won't rust fast etc etc. Whoever it was dug up that thread and posts that remark, now its gone. So no, you never read anything wrong as someones playing games and being that the last post is gone that made the thread no longer be in the currently active threads either. I wish now I would have saved the text or tried to do a screen shot.
