dont know if the new format removed prior banned posters from that list allowing them to post. If so, then you're going to have your work cut out for you the next few weeks. Sudden influx of FSU trolls now in the 'New board- only took 3 min' thread.

They decided to give everyone a second chance.
 
It's been addressed.

The best thing to do is to submit a report as soon as you encounter this stuff.

Quite frankly, it's a lot tougher to monitor the new board format than it was to monitor the prior board format. In addition, the monitoring processes are so different than what we use to do that the learning curve for the monitors is a lot steeper than it is for those that are simply missing thread view.

A submitted report is an alert to all the monitors that something isn't right. The process of addressing such things may take a bit longer than what most of you have come to expect, but we'll get it done. The reports direct us to what we should be looking at.

Appreciate your heads up, though I had actually stumbled upon the trash, and was starting to address it, when a number of posters submitted reports. I won't always be so lucky, so reports are the best approach to take, and if nothing is done then post something, as you did here. (This is a response to psu00, as well a a comment to the board community.)

Thanks Tom. Still learning the new system. Will use the report button in the future.

Out of curiosity, what were these fsu trolls spewing?

Really? If the monitors or I delete a post, there's a legitimate reason. Why would we want to see repeated, or summarized, that which we felt should be deleted?

Yea, really. I did specifically say "out of curiosisty." Asking for a brief description such as "the usual garb", would have sufficed instead of being insulted for asking something simple. Or even just ignoring it probably would have been better.

It's not any different than someone asking what so and so said in a penn live article.

Didn't know deleted posts from someone flaming was considered top secret information.

It's not the format that drives people from the sites, it's the people who are wound so friggin tight.

"The usual garb" would not have told you anything. There are lots of things that get removed, for a variety of reasons. I've been monitoring a PSU message board for 20 years, and I wouldn't have a clue what "the usual garb" would reference with regards to a type of post that gets deleted, or statements that are commonly deleted.

I chose not to ignore your post because I had a point to make.

Actually, it's quite different. Summarizing that which appears on another web site is somebody saving you some time for something that you could easily find yourself. You can't access deleted posts, so your example is not relevant.

Nice misrepresentation. The info isn't top secret -- it appeared in a public forum. It was removed because it was inappropriate, not because it was top secret, or something that we had previously been asked to not publicize.

It's not the format that drives people from the sites, it's the people who are wound so friggin tight.

Again, another misrepresentation. While you're using people in the plural sense, I'm the one that deleted the posts, the one that replied to you when we delete posts we aren't trying to have the deleted contents repeated, and the one to whom you replied. And FWIW, despite your claim, though couched in a comment in the plural, I'm actually one of the more relaxed people you know of.

Well alright then. Point taken. Thanks for your time.
