They're in sambucus's signature so show up in all his/her posts.  Just hope Dan picks up quickly.

Edited to add, Dan removed an offensive post by sambucus last week and put him/her on moderation.  I suspect there's a connection here......

Sambucus just visited and removed the signature.

Edited to add:
Well, they're obviously a bit of a sicko wanting to have a little game in revenge.  It might be best to hit the ignore button until Dan sorts it out.

It appears the pictures have been changed rather than removed, I wouldn't advise verifying that yourself.
Sambucus appears to be one of those individuals with a seriously warped mind who spends too much time on sites like 4chan or encyclopaedia dramatica.

I thought at first that the site must have been hacked, but it is indeed the signature of that individual.  It's possible that their account has been hacked, but if it's deliberate then they should be banned, no question.  >:(

I'm not giving them the benefit of the dount, or looking either... not even going to "ignore" as I presume  would have to see the stuff..  :o
Do we have a vomit emoticon?

You can ignore without viewing the images.
Go to your profile (button at the top of the site) then click on 'Ignore user options' (on the left) type sambucus into the ignorelist & press change profile. You will then no longer see either the posts or more importantly the signature from sambucus.

Don't forget that it's the school holidays...the little tinkers will probably appear every now and again for the next few weeks.

Post by: gardenqueen on August 03, 2009, 16:17:07

Of course I had to look, didn't I? That is so sick and the quicker that post is removed and the person responsible, the better!

Title: Re: is it just me or can you see obscene pictures too

As Sambucus is the name for "Elder" I'm not sure we are dealing with a naughty schoolboy..  :-X

In the meantime add 'sassymesclunsalad' to your ignore list, and don't click on the link in their 'swaps 'post.   ::) (Concealed link to encyclopedia dramatica.)

Post by: Lizann on August 03, 2009, 16:42:46

Just looked at the site for free seeds and it's more of the same.  Have reported it.  This is sick, one for reporting to the police!

Post by: Flighty on August 03, 2009, 16:44:55

He's putting comments with misleading links to extremely nasty pictures on various threads!

I agree with Fork that more than one moderator is needed to be able deal with these quickly!

I remember reading the recycling thread when it appeared - the obscene pics weren't there then, so have been added later.

sassywotsit is suddenlt very active - check out this and that site.

Definitely school holiday time, it happens on other forums and games too.

I've got 8 names on my ignore list - it comprises three people!

I've been searching to find out how to add to ignore list ... sorry, I'm new to this, but can anyone help?

Just going to say Baccyman has spelt it out on page one of this thread..  :)

Title: Re: is it just me or can you see obscene pictures too
Post by: Flighty on August 03, 2009, 16:55:54

I suggest these us nice normal members keep this thread going so that it stays on the front page of recent threads so that nobody else gets an unwelcome, and extremely sickening, surprise later on.

I doubt they've masked their IP address, in which case Dan can easily trace their ISP. ;)

That piercing does look a bit eye watering, doesn't it?!?!

Worth avoiding as it' sick, but the police won't care, this stuff is all over the internet!

Agree, we need a couple of choices more than Dan for a quick mop up!

I had to look because I am nosey too and when people say not to look at something it just makes me nosier than ever.

That'll teach me......

I know its not nice to look at and i agree that maybe there should be more than one moderator but i expect dan does have a job and cant be on here 24 hrs a day. Im sure he'll sort it as soon as he can  :-\

I myself have had a post removed from this forum within 5mins of posting it and compared to this obcenity it was very innocent. I agree with the need for more moderators cos Dan the man can't be there all of the time can he.

A member I banned for inappropriate remarks has taken it upon themselves to graffiti the site.

sambucus in all guises is now banned.

Does this kind of thing happen often here?  (Can you tell I'm new?)

Not very often it is sadly the nature of the internet and forums.

Nice one Dan - and another thanks for your ongoing efforts.

As mentioned, it's not often, but when it does it always happens in the school holidays!

Well, the tips and friendly, helpful advice have more than made up for one daft eejit who obviously doesn't have anything better to do with his/her time!  Thanks everyone.
