Since the new introductin Idea of a secret forum 'Recycling Bin' Cool , we admins and mods will have a better tool to fight spammers!

When we hit 'delete' on a thread, that thread would be gone forever--along with valuable information like IP adresses and content of the messages, so we often just edited the posts. A compromise--if the spammer filled in his/her/its profile, some stuff like webpages and emails might be there.

So, with the new Recycling Bin, visible only to mods, spam, advertising messages, double posts, banned user posts etc. will be moved to the Recycling Bin to contain so as not to clutter the forum, and to effectively delete the posts from the rest of the forum. If a post or thread was removed by mistake, they can be restored.

Well, that's the update. Hope we will have a more enjoyable time on WTR in the future. It certainly makes moderating WTR much easier.

Thanks, Dmitry! Very Happy

WTR Mods.

P.S. If you do see spam or advertising messages on the forum and for some reason it has been there for some time, please send a PM to one of the moderators. Do not reply to the spam.

P.P.S. In if in any event that you do get access to the Recycling Bin (or moderator controls on any part of the forum) for some reason or glitch, inform WayToRussia (admin) immediately via PM.
