Magnum Mania!

To mutilate a phrase from my comic book nerdiness "sometime there comes a foe no single superhero can withstand" .....

With the board being under constant assault from spammers it has taken more time than I currently have available to both "take out the trash" and enjoy Magnum-Mania and my fellow Maniacs in all their pure Aloha drabbed glory.

With that in mind I have contacted a long standing member, and already a trusted sounding board and advisor, to see if he'd be O.K. with being Deputized. As usual his response was "anything I can do to help".

Of course it was, he's that kinda guy.

With that intro out of the way, I'd like to introduce the new Moderator of Magnum-Mania, Styles Bitchley!

Duties should be mostly to help clean up the spam that I don't get to, but he also has banning power (can't fight spam without it) so don't tug on his cape nor spit on his badge and all should be good.

So, raise your Old Dusseldorf in a long neck in toast to Styles! Thanks for your assistance man, much appreciated.

Thanks Styles!

That's great!! Hats off to Styles!!

Thanks pilgrims. It won't be easy taking on these Ruski bots, but I'll do my darndest to weed them out and maintain civility throughout the forum!

Great! Thanks for being willing, SB!

Doing my best to wrangle these varmints, but it's not easy. Thanks to all those who hit the spam button.

Still doing my best to keep up with the spam bot but since I can’t ban and remove the account all I can do is delete the posts one by one. That would basically mean doing little else! Apologies.

. Bye-bye shoe salesman Al Bundy.

Phew. That was crazy! I reached out to James and then to Doc Ibold, who both have moderator privileges beyond mine.

Doc came through and I managed to stop the bot. Thank you sir!!! Haven't heard back from James yet, but nice to hear that Doc is alive and well!

Thanks so much to everyone for handling that one!

Thank you Styles for your efforts. I just started a new thread about the Spammer before I saw this one, I wasn't ignoring the fact you are on the case.

No problem. It was really getting out of hand!

Absolutely thanks! It was the worst I’ve seen and happened right as it became your responsibility. Great work!
