Thanks to Carlos-F and Eddy

Question

Last night someone thought it would be fun to attack this site with numerous abusive postings. Carlos stayed on top of the situation and deleted every posting from the malcreados. Then this morning Eddy removed their logins.

Thanks to both of them for keeping this site the family friendly place that it is, and for helping make sure we don't lose the purpose of the site.

Anoche algunos maleducados pensaban que sería chévere hacer publicaciones abusivas en el foro. Carlos mantuvo la situación y borró cada publicación hasta que Eddy tuvo la oportunidad de borrar sus cuentas.

Gracais a ambos por guardar este sitio como un lugar apropriada para familias, y por ayudar en asegurar que no perdamos el propósito del sitio.

Answer 1

Thanks for letting everyone know about this, CalvoViejo. Way to go, Carlos & Eddy!

Answer 2

Thanks, yes I did flag all I saw and deleted the content of one particularly distasteful compostition...I mean composition.

Another day in the life of a guardian dog.

Answer 3

Indeed, those types of people can be very annoying and disturbing. Especially with the extremely inappropriate things he/she was posting. Also, if we wanted to make an "honorable mention" I think volpon and nizhoni helped out a bit too.

Answer 4

I agree with volpon, Carlos F could be the one on guard on those hours in which the administrators cannot be watching the site. This is a free site and everybody is also free to ask and suggest things and surely out there there are lots of crooked minded people trying to deviate intencionally the main purpose of this forum.

Definitivamente nunca faltarán personas de mentes torcidas que quieran hacernos daño y desviar la atención de los participantes del foro hacia otros temas que nada tienen que ver con el propósito principal de este maravilloso foro. Carlos, tú nos puedes ayudar muchísimo en proteger los intereses del foro en horas en que los administradores como Heidita y Eddy no lo pueden hacer, básicamente por diferencia horaria. A mi me encantaría ayudar, pero múltiples ocupaciones me lo impiden.

¡Enhorabuena Carlos!

Answer 5

Thanks a lot, Carlos and Eddy. There's nothing better than doing the right things for this community.

Correct My English, please! - Fidalgo, Feb 1, 2010

Your English is fine, Fidalgo. "do the right" seems a bit incomplete, though. Likely, most English speakers would have used the cliché, "doing the right thing," instead. But if you don't like clichés, you could write "doing right by..." - 0057ed01, Feb 2, 2010

Thank you very much, volpon - Fidalgo, Feb 2, 2010

Answer 6

Thanks, hisbookworm. I was so outraged by that poster's vulgarities that I became nearly obsessed with looking out for more.

I did manage, as did Nizhoni, to cancel out a couple, but the super-vigilant Carlos F was a step ahead.

What bothered me, though, was that there was such a long time lapse before his account was canceled by an administrator.

I'm thinking that the reason likely was the time difference, though. Most of his posts were made during the hours when our two administrators were taking a well-earned night's rest.

Maybe an associate administrator, who lives in the time zone where this site is based, could be appointed to snare such vile posts?

Carlos F would be the ideal choice. Chile's time seems close enough.
