NoelAmiOverwatch do we have a procedure . . . for reporting and getting spammers posts deleted and the users banned? They're bound to start registering eventually the longer the forum site is up the more likely they will start showing up

I find the lack of configuration options disturbing !
I felt a great disturbance in the force.. as if millions of win 7 systems suddenly cried out in terror.
We have been keeping eye on it at the moment and will be taking appropriate actions when necessary. As for having a formal reporting system in place, that might be something we will need to consider doing in the near future.
good to know it's being monitored reason I brought it up is 33 has no activity yet but multiple links in sig. line
and that's a red flag from my previous experiences on other fora where they got overrun and basically had to shut down due to the amount of thingy enhancement etc. spam posts

I would have no problem with deleting a user who has spam links in their signature, even before their first post. I'm not sure I have that power, though, and maybe it's a good thing.
I believe only a spammer would sign up without posting.
What if such a person were to then post something like "I hate Windows 10, it's disrupting my life", then adds spam links in their signature?
Deleting them would be pretty ruthless, but I have no love for people who don't contribute. Big Bad Bob has already showed us that one doesn't need to sign up here to participate.
as long as it's not > earn 2grand a week working from home removing win 10
that could be tempting
on another side of this the last forum I was a member of that was shut down due to the horrid amount of spam over 50% of the links were not spam but malware

I have taken care of the 33 issue. All ad related links have been deleted, and the user advised accordingly. If it recurs the user will be banned. Ooo, I just realized that this is the first time I've actually had to act in a censorship position. I feel dirty like an MSFT mod. Oh well, my evil has carried over. Let me know what you think of a one and out.

Overwatch it's not all evil some things need to be monitored and moderated
Free speech is not a license to abuse
absolute anarchy and absolute dictatorial control are both useless to society whether it's in real life or in web / gaming etc. communities
"one and done / out" is a reasonable solution
at some point it may have to change to: > we see spam / malware or other unnecessary advertising links, then "Boom ! Gone" user and all
but that wouldn't be my call I can only suggest it for consideration at a future date should there come a time where it's not manageable or efficient to manually edit profiles and posts

I would think the only time to do that is if we start getting such users on a regular basis. Until then, we can certainly deal with them on a one-on-one basis and be a little more lenient.

Microsoft, is Windows 10 the best you could do? Really? After promising to listen to our feedback, what a letdown!
<Rick> Good video. It's almost hard to believe that at one time Windows 98 was the resource hog, but even then, it still ran circles around what Windows 10 can do on today's modern hardware and look a heck of alot better doing it.

<Rick> As stated elsewhere, So much for the launch of Windows 11, "The Great Crash." Myself, I had a hard time getting into the site listed above, when I did get in, the video was partly done and then it crashed. There has been many other reports of crashing.

<Rick> I see Microsoft has been very quick to pull down reports of site crashing regarding the Launch of Windows 11 on the Microsoft Insiders forum.

<Rick> The rebroadcast is working okay.
Jun 24, 2021 11:00:25 GMT -6
<Rick> With reports of people being able to install the dev-edition of Windows 11 on machines not meeting spec, I thought I would give it a what-the-heck try. Lucky me, I'm caught in the downloading, doesn't meet spec, clearing, re-downloading loop on my machine!

<Rick> I've recently purchased a license for ArcaOS from www.arcanoae.com/ to play with. First impressions, it's still OS/2, but it now has a Linux twist to it.

<dozrguy> laptop shit out and am stuck buying a new one. os win11 as fucked as win10 was?
Oct 2, 2021 12:56:10 GMT -6
<Rick> Let's see ..., my impression of Windows 11 is that it is a spruced up version of Windows 10 requiring a 64-bit processor plus a piece of security hardware that is less than 4 years old in order for it to run.

<Rick> On the plus side, Microsoft is supposed to be supporting Windows 10 for some time to come for those of us still using systems with I7 or older processors.

<dozrguy> i tried installing win10 om the 'shitout' pc this morning usung media creation. EPIC FAIL! went into an endless bootloop. win7 reinstalled just fine
Oct 21, 2021 11:23:38 GMT -6
<dozrguy> STILL so much bullshit and so little time for the kiddie ideas from the hill. My new laptop (MSI GE 11-UH461) would be an awesome "10" machine but because of Winblows I can only give it a "2"......wasted $3500

<Rick> Hello. Just checking in.
Mar 17, 2022 10:46:54 GMT -6
<isidroco> Each new w10 update adds >100000 useless files to \Windows\Servicing\LCU\Package_for_RollupFix... folders. Even in a SSD takes time to delete that stuff. In each version they manage to worsen stuff.

<dozerguy> still traffic here?
Oct 9, 2022 17:32:44 GMT -6
<Rick> No, there does not seem to be very much traffic these days. I still check in from time to time.
