Hi!

The administrators do a fine job banning spammers. However, is it possible to delete all private messages globally from those spammers, too? I log in unregularly and always have quite some spam and real messages aren't really noticeable. The messages are from already-banned users mostly, though.

Thanks for considering.

Well, when a mod comes in here, he'll likely tell you to manually delete them yourself, and something about the system would use up more of the precious resources necessary to maintain order, such as the Barrel Roll navigation system used to keep the moon in orbit around the Earth, without which I wouldn't have anything to use my mega laser on.(just letting you know, I'm blowing up the moon again tonight guys.)

Maybe they're banned before they reach 'z' when spamming

But seriously, 1-2 years ago it wasn't nearly this bad. Currently it feels like every damn banned member put mails in my inbox. It's just annoying. I'm short of ignoring the functionality altogether, but since the senders are almost all banned, it could be easily accomplished deleting those messages globally (aka cronjob nightly etc)

Hehe, thanks for the imaginative answer Omega_2. It's the duty of every administrator however, to try to keep the functionality running well. So...

Yeah, you should see some of the mods on the game 'backup' sites(none mentioned)
Most of the mods are kids on there, I'm telling you. XD

Still blowing up the moon, regardless...unless I can just carve the 3 Days Moon face on it, THEN make it plummet towards the Earth.

We're don't access (delete) sent and received PM's for your privacy rights, therefore it is for you to delete them yourself. It's a 10 second job so I don't see why we should need to do it in the first place.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
