Maybe ask the programmers to enable email notification for that?

I will not be signing up for that. We get multiple reports daily.

Comes with the territory of being a mod, does it not?

A scammer can rip off a number of members in under an hour.

The reason why we have multiple mods is so that workload is distributed. We all have families, full time jobs, other interests... lives. Between the three of us there is usually someone on the forum every hour or so. If that’s not a quick enough response time for you maybe take it up with VS and request them pay a staff member to maintain the site at all times. If you think that I’m gonna set up email alerts for every report you are dead wrong. But maybe the guy with 16,000 posts since 2019 has way too much time on his hands and doesn’t understand that concept.

I just offered a suggestion to your concern. Nothing more.

We don’t get an email alert for reports - we only see them when we log on. A scammer can rip off a number of members in under an hour.

Now, go have your cup of coffee.
or maybe a snickers.

Responding to reports does. Constantly getting email alerts does not. Other than Scammer alerts I've never seen a report that warranted "immediate" reaction. Most of them come from people with an agenda. PM's are the best method for dealing with scammers, as noted.

No. You offered a suggestion, and I explained why I wouldn’t be doing that. Then you came back with a snarky remark which I took exception to. I welcome suggestions, but I will not roll over when someone takes a shot at me.

I’ve been up since 5am. I’m past coffee and thinking about lunch at this point. You wanna tell me what I should eat for my lunch too?

Thanks Dave!

Wow. Someone is pissy today. Maybe you shoulda slept in.

Im not pissy at all. I’m having a good chuckle at this little sparing match.

Plenty of time to sleep when you’re dead. Mornings are my favourite part of the day. Especially in the spring!

For those of us who can't always quickly recall the names of the mods, I wish this was posted in a more obvious and predominant place.
@davetcan was easy for remember in the past as we had met several times.

 

[JBFairthorne]

Yeah…I totally forget any of the mods names when I actually wanna @ them.

That was not my intention. Please accept my apologies.

My comment was serious though.

 

[Offbeat]

Thanks for letting us know. For quickest action in the future, please PM the mods. That way we are sure to see it quickly.

Just had that scam as will with Terryeric470 sending me an email address to [email protected] in relation to my WTB for a Ric 660, says that person did post one and to contact him.

The guy/scammer does respond to the email with pics and info to negotiate. Says he’s from Missouri.

Was suspicious as see no GC history from Edwin Bruhn and then querying Terryeric470 led me to this thread. Thanks for that.

It'd be nice to know who these mods/admins are too.

Just for the record, I was never contacted for follow up by 'G'.

I often wonder to myself what your title would be

I wouldn't be around long enough to come up with one.
Because I'd open up the free-for-all political forum again and be immediately dismissed.

 

[BlueRocker]

Seems fishy to me

 

[terminalvertigo]

Banned.

Keep reporting em folks

 

[elburnando]

I figured I'd have had more of these guys.
