Steve Rose Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 from akk7axh Can a moderator lock this out? Maybe 1 1/4oz of #5 will work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetSweeper56 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 It appears the forum has been hijacked and the mods are unable to remove the posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 They typically attack forums on holiday weekends to sell their micro penis supplies knowing the forum moderator doesn’t do any kind of work off the clock. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol! Micro penis supplies! I say hijacked because, if you notice, the poster has made themselves a "senior member" with a zero reputation. Hopefully we will be running smoothly again in short order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much are they charging for the "MP fix?" Asking for a friend... 😒🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RxArms Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Benelli would do well to apppoint a regular member with reputation to have low level admin power, honestly. What a crap shoot. a velocity filter would be useful, stopping members/IP from doing more than 2 new posts an hour or something.

It wouldn't take much of anything to assign a staffer (there are three who are forum admins) to monitor their email during a holiday break and deal with the problem in a timely fashion when the spam report emails pour in. This problem of the holiday forum hijacks is only going to get worse in the future if not checked. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Doe Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Does anyone know how to go about signing up to be an admin? Could we, average members recommend people? I will recommend a few of you on here for sure to do it or whoever has an interest in doing so. This is crazy that this entire forum can be hijacked like that. We use this board quite frequently and it is not like it is some dead forum that nobody uses. Any info on who to contact at Benelli or whoever runs this site would be greatly appreciated so maybe we can all call them or email them and let them know who among us should have admin powers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambihunter Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 One can look up the "whois" information for benelliusa.com and get some contact information, but it could just be the people that created the site and run the domain name registrars. I am in I.T. so a bit of a geek, but I often find that information helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Benelli admins smartly assigned a few of us as moderators so we can kill the spam and moderate the usual forum stupidity. The little shield on the user profile picture indicates who is a moderator now. That way we can delete the crap on nights, weekends and holidays where Benelli staff aren't going to be around. Sukhoi_fan and I were assigned as them. There might be more, but I haven't seen them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
