deskthority

Good news, folks: we got ourselves some mods again! Say hello to the new management.



You may recognise some familiar names:

• kbdfr
• jsheradin
• Muirium

You'll find us shoulder deep in bloody spam.

Thank fuck

Aye, we're here to stomp the buggers. But we're not clamping down on DT's fiesty arguments. (Or bothering ourselves at all, frankly. That's a lot of effort with some of you guys on the lube threads.) So don't expect anyone to dive in and save you if you're underwater in a flame war, or if you'd like other people's pesky criticisms deleted from your sales thread! Deskthority is not about deleting shit, unless it's actual shit, like spam.

Thanks guys

rubs eyes

What? Since when did the owner decide this? How many PMs did it take to get a response? LOL

Glad to see it though

Happy to be part of the team

We aren’t limited to just The Three Amigos, by the way. If other long-standing regulars (and fellow anti-spam obsessives) reckon they can take the solemn weight of a sheriff’s badge (and if the spam still needs it), more can come. For now, we’re just figuring our way around the weaponry and working out what to do with mixed up threads like this one.

Would always love to help if needed. Thanks for pulling this off

Can you hear that gurgling? It’s the sound of ten thousand shits going down the drain at once!

This search is looking better and better.

Must be incredibly satisfying to delete one spam post after another

Weird they didn‘t make me a mod

Vroom!

I see these Lamborghinis, and I raise you a V8 Rover SD1 or TVR Cerbera.

Anyway, it's certainly nice to see spam being dealt with. Good luck.

And that thread now makes you look schizophrenic, talking to your inner Cherry Brown-loving Mr. Hyde

The spam posts to me are easily ignored, but it's a major step forward to have people with veto power who actually care about the site. Three cheers for the good guys!

On the other hand, criticizing Cherry MX black switches might be considered a capital offense.
(I hope my fellow moderators will recognize this as a joke and not delete this post or even ban me )

This is why it’s vital you are also a mod: to retain the guarantee of mutually assured destruction, against my stockpile of compact layouts and capsense switches. The only way to win is not to play.

It didn’t look like that when I linked it. The Spam Squad must have come back for seconds!

Anyway, we should have more to talk about in daily threads than spammers, once again. It was a fast cleanup with a whole team on the job.



Thanks, amigos.

You did not leave much for me to do.

Actually, if you open the moderator control panel (you’ll find it at the very bottom of this page) then Main > Front Page for an overview, you’ll see our third amigo has been the busiest of us all.

Your shift starts now!

I preferred your first pic: Larry, Curly and Moe.

I had also seen the first pic. Can’t say which I prefer, though

How am I now going to sell my viagra and online degrees???

Well, you already sold your forum, so…

Consider bribing the mods, will you?

Happy to hear that we finally have some mods, the spam posts were getting quite annoying

¡Albricias!

Now let's get back to posting our keyboardery stuff with a clean conscience (or as clean as can be).

I said several times that I'd be in for it, and still am.
