RE: New members issue

JonH · Tennis legend

Seem to have had a number of new members join in the past week, I know one went on to Spam, but they look like genuine members? Hope they all go on to stick around and get involved on occasion!

Not really new members but old members - one person who Ive not see around for a while is 9Vicman. Anyone else spotted them or ever had contact? Until recently, I remember them being one of the posters I really liked to follow and interact with, very knowledgable.

I was trawling through the members names and cant even find that profile name anywhere, so cant see when they last accessed it. Anyway, a poster I miss.

Other posters I miss are available! Just one that springs to mind!

In fact I found them and see he deleted his profile in January, thats a real shame.

Dont recall anything. It would have been mid Aussie open, but dont recall anything happening

He voted in the player of the season votes on 10th January I see. But nothing seemed amiss then. Theres also a twitter account with same handle i see but, and Im not an expert, it may have been deleted?

There have been a couple of new spam postings in the last few days (weeks ?) Whilst the posts themselves have been deleted by moderators (not me), the posters themselves are still registered and can only be deleted by Sheddie.

So I'm noting them here. Seokd and ngoexpertsca

When deleting Spam think that there is an option to block the poster first. Once the post has gone, as you say TA, I doubt a mod can help(?)

Thanks, maybe next time I'll look into that.

You can click ban IP, but it doesn't seem to work much these days.

They'll be using a VPN or multi-hop software to route through multiple servers to mask their IP. Certainly there has been the odd occasion when I've had a message that the IP is banned when coming on here using a VPN.
