List of what is currently wrong with the forum

Deleted User

I was wondering if most people who contribute here are fine with no current problems, so I thought a list might be useful.

I'm rather despairing at the moment of its brokenness and absence of communication from NAS about a timescale (or anything) for sorting these.

It's making me wonder whether to bother any longer.

1. I know that   has a message coming up in orange at the top saying his account may/will be deleted.

2. I keep being logged out (orange banner at the top with a seconds countdown).

Is anyone else getting anything still (or even unable to use their original account?).

Has anything been sorted?

Thanks.

  • I tend to produce typos, if I go back to edit a post more than once it gets quarantined for moderation. What in a user editing their own post is suspicious, what is this irritating glitch supposed to be guarding against?

    The reason for this is a lot of spammers bypassed previous filters by first posting an innocuous post then coming back and editing it to add a link that would have been stopped in the original post.

    On the previous site here, editing more than twice would have had the same effect I recall - it certainly happened to me when I was correcting something and added a typo by mistake and tried to correct it.

    I suspect by making the site "safer" that it has just become more intolerant to our failings.

    If they regard editing as suspicious, it would make more sense to simply remove the functionality than keep banning people for using it.

    My suspicions are they are treating us like vunlerable children and they lack the resource to evolve their systems to our capabilities.

    You see how rare it is for a mod to post here now - I think they just don't have the staff anymore so we are a lower priority than ever. I don't see that getting fixed anytime soon.

    There alternative is not having this forum and I think that is a price not worth paying.
