  Re: suspended Bricklink shops
 
Many of the followups in this thread have been changed to "lugnet.admin.brickshops". AFAICT, no such group exists. Perhaps "lugnet.market.brickshops" was intended? Mark (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: My Own Train - Special Offer
 
(...) I’m sorry if I have let myself be misunderstood. In response to your questions: The original post was addressed to the "admins". My original point was that marketing posts belong in .market. But like I said, it is not a big deal. I've no (...) (20 years ago, 19-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

  Re: My Own Train - Special Offer
 
I understand your sentiment 100%. I was not clear if TLC had some sort of special deal to exploit us this way outside .market. It sounds like they have not, but are being extended some flexibility. I imagine I’d be less irked by this if TLC were (...) (20 years ago, 19-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

Am I alone in getting annoyed with TLC's relentless "market" posts in non-market groups? Is this what we envisaged for LUGNET? Scott A (20 years ago, 19-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Why do I not receive some confirmation e-mails?
 
(...) Looking at the headers, there's no indication of extra actions. I notice that Lugnet's clock is 3 seconds slower than my ISP's clock! The thing is, there hasn't always been a time delay - it seems to come in waves. I used to get the emails (...) (20 years ago, 18-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Sleepers and Talent Brainstorm Invitation

  A change to email spamblocks?
 
Would it be possible to stop the "megabloks-are-evil" anti-spam phrase from appearing in email addresses on LUGNET? The sentiment strikes me as petty and, frankly, a little childish. Additionally, I have not been informed that my postings to LUGNET (...) (20 years ago, 17-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Why do I not receive some confirmation e-mails?
 
I'm hoping someone on the admin team can help me. I have been trying all morning to post a message to .space, but I have not yet received the confirmation e-mail.
