Thank you! Never knew that button existed nor do I know how I clicked it to begin with.

I already talked to two staff members about it on IM this morning (lots of us got spammed) and they are looking into it. A mass u2u was sent out and the mod said they will ban the person's main account too once they find out who it is. So I wouldn't worry about nothing being done because two staff members promised me SO would look into it. Hope that helps. I'm not flipping out over it but I am curious.
Question, though, Gig, and please, please don't take this the wrong way. I hate false accusations and do not want you to think I am falsely accusing you of anything. I am only curious. How could they have U2U'ed you? Don't you have to have something like 25-50 posts before you can U2U? I am not accusing you of being the spammer (I know you are above that!) but I don't see how that is possible you got a U2U from them. They have -10 or -11 posts so I am guessing that means they left some comments on the board that were later removed but that still wouldn't have been enough.

Not sure Ash, to be honest, I think I know less about the mechanics than you do. ALl I know is that I got a u2u from someone posing as Asty. After doing a little digging, I realized the person was not actually Asty. I don't know why I'd get a u2u at all, I dont think I've ever had any convo with Asty.
All that aside, if I didn't really recieve a u2u, how would I know about it? Maybe there is a mention or thread about this already, but I haven't seen it. And you are the first person that has confirmed with me that something happened, so......?
Edit to remove the obnoxious use of "at all" like 3 times hehe.

Hey, I believe you if you say you got a U2U. The spam we got was left on our profiles so I didn't know he was U2Uing people, too. It is possible he went on a posting spree so he could U2U those without opened comment sections. By the time I saw his profile I think he was already banned and had -10 posts so I don't know how he was able to U2U you unless he did that or hacked ATS somehow.
I'm sorry nobody talked to you about it yet- I was not accusing you!
Many of us got a mass U2U to calm us down and were assured that the impostor
would be caught. Since your profile was not spammed publicly, you might not have received the U2U if the mod didn't know you were a spam recipient,
too.
Hope that helps. I am going to bow out of the drama now and let the staff take over. I already feel like I am being too nosy and meddlesome but I do love a good mystery and was curious about the U2U thing. I got a weird profile comment about a week ago, too, and it turned out the guy had several different proxy accounts so it could be the same member or just a coincidence.

In this thread springer said,
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Is there a list of Conspiracy forums that aren't allowed to be mentioned on ATS?
I notice that GLP wasn't edited out but another site was. Should members know what sites they can and can't mention without admins having to edit their posts?

I don't know where to post this (and do not know which moderators run that forum) but a thread has disappeared.
Can someone look into it? It was pretty active but now it says "page not found".

You are right. I was looking at the thread also. It was a big one. I tried searching for it and I can't find it on ATS or BTS.
