    I hope he said they were going to start paying more attention so this sort of thing doesn't go on for days next time.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I got an email reply from Rob as well. I'm sure he didn't want to have to deal with this on a Sunday evening but I'm appreciative that he did.

    I haven't been really active in posting lately. I stubbled on a couple of his post and quickly realized he was way out of line. What an idiot.   To all who sent out emails to get him banned. Thank you.

    So what's stops this Arse from just jumping back on with a different phone or iPad or whatever. Sounds like it was someone known to the forum already???

    Dangit, I was going to slip a post or two in while the focus was on someone else.. Oh well, back to lurking. haha ;) In all seriousness, that dude was beyond trolling.. Glad to see he just didn't get banned, but nuked completely.

    Nothing much offends me. And I typically find the tomfoolery around here amusing. But he was just an idiot

    I'm not normally one to wish bad or ill will on anyone. However in this case, I'm glad he is gone. Hey I get it, jokes is jokes but his stuff was just lewd and vulgar.

    Sounds like I take the right right approach...on this forum each day multiple times throughout the day and I don't know the guy.  The common sense "ignore that thread/post" is paying dividends.

    Rob? Or maybe the emails that Ardie who is now the head dude at BGE got and he asked Rob WTH was going on! All we know is someone lit a fire under Rob tonight after all this time and he did what he should have done a long time ago!

    I suggest the next time(and there will be a next time), forum members should completely ignore newly posted threads by these morons. It's tough to not open the thread due to curiosity, but ignoring may help them change their behavior or move on. Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to curb them from posting within others threads.

    I hear you and I FULLY agree, but as an active moderator elsewhere I have the authority and do use a ban and full deletion capability when some idiot hits our forum. This crap here has gone on way too long PLUS Vanilla is getting paid to moderate. I still think that finally today some one reached clear to the top of BGE and there was a "come to Jesus" call made!

    I do not want to disagree but Vanilla is just the open-source software used to create these forums. Anyone is freely available to use this software. I'm sure they have paid for a license, but it is up to BGE to moderate the forums they have created.

    What they need to do is assign a 'Webmaster' or at least a few 'Moderators' to watch over these forums as part of their daily duties. Having to email a BGE employee indicates something is wrong. I hope their 'come to Jesus' meeting included assigning a Moderator (or 2, 3).

    He might be gone but all the spam/troll/abuse flags he gave me are not.

    Jamie, Why not take up that issue with Rob, while we have his attention? That can and should be an easy fix even with Vanilla.

    Aww, I'm gonna miss him.
    You guys did know that he is a recent widower, and will now have to support his 14 children alone on his taxi job salary, right?  And that he has inoperable ovarian cancer?
