And Bob was banned.

I wonder what truth he posted.

I wonder if the elusive enigmatic Elad finally set something up that automatically excises spam; Skins's island does have a problem with that.

We do too, but we got Chris_ to automatically get rid of spam; we don't need any computer software for it.

From the supper secret Meta forum where a similar question was posed:

Quote
EarlG (13,262 posts)
2. It is a new feature

When someone with fewer than 100 posts is banned, the software will automatically delete all of their messages posted in the 12 hours before they were banned.

FWIW, the subject line of the post is supposed to say "Message auto-removed" not "Message deleted by DU Administrators" -- that should be corrected sometime today.

So not only do they disappear the person and the offending truth, they also remove all evidence (in the 12 hour window) of the person's existence.

How tolerant of them.

It's an improvement on 1984, there they had a department where the employees edited people out of old pictures, newspaper articles &c. now the DUmp has computer software to do it for them...

Yep. Thanks to technology the website site of tolerance, open-mindedness and free-thinking can silence differing opinions and disappear folks not of the hive-mind much more quickly and efficiently.

I like it. Troll droppings are unsightly, unsanitary & stink to high heaven. Plus, they've been known to attract more trolls.

I didn't think the Chris_ Skynet episode had been that long ago.

Imagine this...you go to bed and Conservative Cave is Conservative Cave. When you wake up the next morning Conservative Cave is essentially Chris_ Cave. All of your posts were made by Chris_. All of Freep's posts were made by Chris_. All of my posts were made by Chris_. Everyone's posts were made by Chris_.

What this means is that if one of our lady members had posted that her ovaries were causing problems the morning after the episode it looked as if Chris_ had posted that his ovaries were causing problems.

At first glance it was a 'what the hell???' moment. Then it became funny. Well, except for poor Chris I suppose because he had the headache of fixing it.

I was kind of conflicted at the time because you don't want to laugh when a good guy is having problems, and Chris is a good guy. He's never failed to reply with help any time I've asked anything of him, and I know it had to be a pain to fix things. Still, funny is funny. Chris_ hasn't become the board again so I guess he didn't hold our amusement against us.
