  Re: Profanity again
 
(...) Sometimes I say "effing" when i mean "effing." Personally, I love using language in all of its varied forms - which includes straight up cursing to 'clever cursing' - where appropriate and for desired effect. Having said that, I think your (...)

(Reposting from the web, auth email lost someplace on it's way to me) (...) I'd expect it to be the common case, as most threads moved are moved from a more general group (.general) to a more specific one (.color, .o-t.debate, etc). (...) I don't (...)

(...) SOME NNTP/SMTP users, those who are not already following the group it belongs in. The rest of them will see new posts just fine. (...) Ya, that's true, but the downside is that it's a lot more obtrusive to everyone else, and if people start (...) (20 years ago, 8-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: What's actually the task of the moderators on BrickShelf?
 
(...) I would actually really appriciate if you DID say something every time you force it, just because otherwise, a thread will just disappear as far as NNTP/SMTP users are concered. If you do let people know you moved it, then at least if I still (...) (20 years ago, 8-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: To Whom It May Concern...
 
(...) As of right now, Todd is the go-to person for password resets. If you've emailed Todd more than once and it's been in a more than 24-48 hour period with no response, then posting here certainly seems the next best thing to do... IIRC he does (...)

  To Whom It May Concern...
 
I need my password reset to Sign Into the database, I've tried to email Todd and Suzanne twice now, but have received no response from them! Can anybody else here help? LMK either way Thanks in advance, Rick LUGNET member #540 (20 years ago, 8-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Cancelling posts (was: ... moderators on BrickShelf?)
 
(...) Hi Bruce, AFAIK the only way to cancel posts is via a newsreader (if your newsreader client supports it). I think a way to cancel posts via the web would be a nice enhancement :) ROSCO FUT: .admin.general (20 years ago, 6-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Replying to the bottom? [was Re: I hate MOCPages]
 
(...) Hmm.. I guess it depends. When I trim, I usually trim things that are completely unrelated to my reply. Otherwise, I tend to leave it all in. I know its bandwidth heavier, but in this day and age, I think we should expect to be able to send (...) (20 years ago, 2-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: I hate MOCPages
 
I agree with your suggestions. In fact, I think it helps cut down the trash on Lugnet becuase you have to be registered to post, AND Lugnet always shows your real name. Yea, we still get trash (and different people will judge what is trash (...) (20 years ago, 2-Sep-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Un-spotlight? (was: suspended Bricklink shops)
 
(...) The problem as others have pointed out is abuse. But what if the "un-spotlight" were merely advisory? It wouldn't have any effect until an administrator (curator perhaps) agrees. Perhaps administrators/curators would get a daily email listing (...) (20 years ago, 31-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Am I Not allowed to Post or not?
 
(...) I have noticed that when my computer has a wrong date/time, both the email auth and the actual post (if I get an auth) can disappear. I *know* I have sent a post dated 2007-07-22, got the auth email, confirmed on the web, but the post never (...) (20 years ago, 30-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Un-spotlight? (was: suspended Bricklink shops)
 
(...) What happens then is you reduce it to game-playing, much like the people who give a 0 to a an absolute classic in the set ratings so that their favorite gets a boost at the expense of something else. But then again, I could counter-act all (...) (20 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: Am I Not allowed to Post or not?
 
I too have suddenly started to have problems with the email auth. I post via SMTP, but my last two attempts failed - just never got the auth email. Never had a problem before, always get the email almost instantly. Shouldn't be any email routing (...) (20 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
