Where are the Admins and Moderators?

[freakbrother]

Things are looking much better right now.

Thanks for the hard work cleaning it up.

Thank you!

I've been coming home from work and checking up and deleting whatever garbage that has shown up since Elbee checked.
BTW, I'm a moderator and as a matter of fact, I was the first moderator but when I go to ban someone it won't let me. If something good can come out of this, its to make sure that all the moderators can use their full authority especially in an emergency like this.
Kudos to all that responded to this threat, it's the first one of this scale that I've ever seen on our site and I've been here since almost the beginning.

As a result, we won't be buying anything from the T company ever again.

I suspect that TEMU got a fair amount of business from forum members. If TEMU wants the customer back, they need to send a statement to the moderator to explain what those spammers did in their name. Otherwise, I am gone for good.

A side effect of the recent spam attack (was it a denial-of-service attack?) is that all my previous posts have now disappeared and my total post count was reset to zero.

Oh well.

Yes we are very sorry for that freakbrother. Once your original account was deleted accidently during this horrendous spam attack over the past week, there was no way to restore it. That would go for anyone who's account has been deleted whether by accident or otherwise. Please accept our apology for the lost post count, history and rating. The good news is that we have gotten ahead of the spammers so it will be impossible for another similar attack in the future.

Do you have any plan to file a legal complaint against TEMU.com? It was a very difficult situation during the spam attack. I admire what you and the team did in such a short time to restore the normal operation.

Do not like the way temu website operates with alleged free stuff and discounts so I do not purchase anything from them. Clean up the con game and then maybe I will shop there

No biggie. Thanks for the cleanup.
