Me too. Windows 7.

Yeah, same here (Win7, IE11). It was doing that last week, maybe it's the foreign characters that cause it.

NB for sake of clarity, I meant the letters, not the foreign characters who typed the posts....

They mean moderate as to editing posts.
Covered in a thread with Martin. Their decision.
So they delete posts/threads rather than edit them.

But the Forum Team do edit posts after they've been alerted to them: to my mind, that's still moderating, even if after the fact.

Well I can only tell you what was covered (though it was years back to be fair)

Can we please have an official assurance from MSE that they are - still - working on solving this problem?

I'm clearing the Loans board but as fast as I do, many more appear :mad:

Come on MSE, it is long past time to get this stopped.

Ironic that this post is relegated to page 4 on the site feedback forum by 3 pages full of spam :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm sure all of us appreciate how much the Board Guides are doing to deal with this problem until its resolved once and for all.

Round of applause to you for your efforts:T

Its those at the top of MSE so to say that we need this official reassurance from that they really ARE trying to deal with this and stop it at source.

I hope you're being well (London rates) paid for it.

some of them do make pretty patterns with the text (characters)
Perhaps if we nominated one of them for post of the month it might get noticed, naw scrub that, no-one would even bother to vote on that as usual.
