Quarantine? What the heck is that? Why not just delete it, then delete the user, hunt down the IP address they posted from and ban that? Use your fangs and claws, Benziger! Can't you do that? There are a lot of new users. Likely many are not legit. They will end up overwhelming the forum.

Moderators can ban accounts -- I was checking the recent raft of new accounts posting Chinese spam and they're listed as account_disabled .

Yes. Lots of "account_disabled". I patrol the place once or twice per day and shoot vermin as I find it, then ban the IP it crawled out of.

I check, but homeschooling their graces tends have me late to the party.

I would say there are five "staff", assuming that Benzinger and Admin are the same person....

Four of those don't seem to have been on here for a long time. Two of them for years. Unless they are the many 'guests' we get visiting? Could the admin actually be the hosts of these forums? They have rules of course, and may watch to make sure they are kept. But one would assume it would have to be Benziger logged in as admin in order to tinker with the forum. Although both seem to be absent of late. What do you have to be to be able to Approve posts? I can do that, but no other actions. Then again I am not listed above. Someone seems able to delete posts and block accounts. Who is doing that?

For unknown reasons, the "Last Online" column in that report is non-functional, or inaccurate at best.
"Guests" can be anyone not logged in. I visit without logging in most of the time, as do others, I'm sure. "Guests" can also be webcrawlers and bots, not people.

Moderators can delete posts and block accounts.
One factor which would appear to be affecting "Last Online" column is the kind of device used to sign in, as in a cellphone versus a computer.

I am not 100% sure I am ever logged out! I know I don't have to log in. I no longer know what my log in details are. Auto-log in can be handy in those instances, but I have not seen the log in screen for a long time.

I cannot imagine using here on anything other than my PC and 28" monitor. I would not be able to read the text on my 8" smartphone.
