Things that are making you crabbit! [2]

Im sorry, this may well sound like favouritism but, I miss the Old Crabbit Scoundrel ! I miss the stirring up, the moaning, the arguements put forward, his views,clouded or not ! His total disregard for that pompous oaf PJ ! his dissecting & analysing ! Oh,its all to much ! I gotta go lie down ! (swoon!)
Im even missing the crazy debate on the length of fecking Hobbit grass ! this has affected me more than I thought it would ! Where's my sedative,..... DOCTOR!

yep me too, I need a good old Amy Pond moaning session.

Bree is seriously fucked up. there is about 100 spam threads and no body is doing ANYTHING I am alone fighting the spamorcs the admin is a lazy twat I have emailed it and nothing has been done. Stu is nowhere to be found. and then one of the Breelanders starts moaning because the threads are all bumped. whats the point really? he doesnt seem to fathom that without me bumping everything there wouldnt BE a forum. there are at least 30 new spams per day. fookin spam but I may be little but I will fight alone. you dont screw with Tolkien fans.

Did they reinstall you as admin, or are you just using plebian voting privileges?

haha double meaning last sentence much

not that I belive it true

plebian voting, but I noticed admin has done something after my er..pep talk

I am probably banned as a result, but it was worth it.

I like your euphemisms.

thanks. I meant to say 'rocket up the arse' but I am too ladylike to say such things natch

the dickhead banned me, and he banned me from seeing the website too.

hey! I feel like Frodo! Bree is saved but not for me! the story must continue, figgsbane will go to the Havens.


((((()))))

are you banned from bree?

You can't even see the website? Is that possible? Wow.

yup well and truly banned. cant access the webpage. I was getting a bit bored of Bree but what the heck, I have spent the last few days bumping spam off the forum and this is how he repays me, although I did call him a jerk at some point of the proceedings, maybe thats what torn it?

shit!

I am getting a bit irascible in my old age.

I believe you deserve a pat on the back Mrs Figg ! I pop over to Bree every now & then, I noticed the abundance of spam, & it was a bucket load ! Sorry youve been dumped so hastily ! A bit of the old "Tyrant" has rubbed off onto you,has it ?! Dont knock it ! We all get fired up now & again ! Good on yer !

Bree's been a bit queer lately anyways. Don't feel bad, Figgs.

Good see you using the crabbit Mrs Figg- maybe a little work required on the amount you let out at once mind you.....

Anyhow the mod who banned the spammers (and you) has made a sticky post about spam on Bree- I have made my feelings clear there, which I reproduce here seeing as you cant get to bree-

'Thank you for banning the spammers- but you seem to have inadvertently also banned figgs- without whom not only would you not have been alerted to the mass of spamming occuring here in the first place, but whose absence means it will be a lot less interesting a forum without her.

I will assume this was an accident on your part to be quickly rectified.
If not look for this to quickly become a protest!'

If you are not reinstated they can expect some professional level crabbit to be coming their way!

Quite a dramatic change in the last couple months or so though. Bree has had a mod, some trolls, people have been getting banned, threads deleted... and a Sticky Thread! Now I've seen it all.

I asked PT to 'ban' all usernames and their ISP addys which were not 'Proper' names, as the bona fide members here generally dont use stupid 'WYSIWIG' namesmade up of random sequwnces of letters and numbers/ One of those spammes has about five or six usernames already geared up.. so go figure. I didn't know umti;now thas Figgy would get caught up in the measures Dawsons taken, but I'll get in touch with PT when I'm done here.

Maybe you'll get reinstated after all.

'Hm, fair enough. Well, if she emails me webmaster@planet-tolkien.com with her email address I will make sure the system unbans her.
For future reference, I would appreciate it if members didn't use such a method, but leave it to me to deal with the spam and I will as best as I can. I am now looking into it and will find a resolution asap.
Apologies for the disruption to all, including Figgs.- Dawson planet Tolkien (aka the Dark Planet!)


There you go Mrs Figg all sorted!
The 'method' he was referring to was bumping threads above the spam ones. He mistook you for a spammer.

I did call him a jerk for deleting ALL my posts. I thought he was taking the piss. I went on there and all my posts were gone and the spam was still there, so I assumed after all the recent weirdness over there that he or someone was messing with me, plus I had emailed twice to tell him about the problems and nothing had been done, then I spend an hour bumping spam off the page for a couple of days, so I got irate and when I get irate I blow up for 5 minutes, simmer gently for another 5 minutes and then apologize. But its no biggy its queer over there anywayz.

thanks for the moral support though guys.

Only went on Bree once, all looked a bit messy. Not like our tidy Forum we have here.

Thee-hee, that's the Taz I know.

Happy return to Bree, Figgy!

I'm amazed that Petty managed to have a complete conversation with Taz that didn't result in a crabbit explosion and/or further bannings!

I know! I didn't even dare to mention it. That is queer, even for Bree! I suspect he ran his reply through the Gurgle Scothobbit-to-English translator.
