Thanks Peter T, Big Mick and others for your concern. I think the Mudcat is under attack by one person (not many) who wants to drive ALL of us away. It happened in many other places. As Big Mick was at seconds to leaving, I was too.
Look at the list of threads tonight: an anonymous Guest has taken the burden of refreshing 40 or more 1-message threads (mainly Lyr/Req), thus pushing all other threads out of the 1-day list, except those he considers appropiate or self-gratifying. We don't want to install a police in the net, but these people act as policemen, judges and executioners. Why they do this, is out of my knowledge of psichiatry, but the two things we can do are:
- Ignore all their comments, refresh the threads we like, and continue as if they were not existent, and hope they (or he) will get bored and move to another, more reacting group.
- Install censorship on the contents of the postings - This is awful, but sometimes necessary. Of course we need a very active commitee, otherwise the postings take too long for approval and people gets rapidly bored, as it happened in another group in Argentina. Once this person gets tired of typing and not seeing his "work", will leave.
Un abrazo - Andrés
