    You'd need a computer professional for that, mate. I don't think a hobbyist could be sure it was sorted properly. Certainly not from a security point of view,
    Too true, but I don't do I.T. security...perhaps I should, eh?

    I'm not saying it's lynx either.

    However, just from a logical standpoint, deletions across a member's multiple accounts = targeted. Deletion of a certain range of posts across said member = targeted.

    I, however, would hate that if I was a mod and got into some public tiffs with a member(s) (which would actually be unlikely in those circumstances), that I'd be found guilty of post "erosion" purely based on that.

    I am curious as too how the track were covered and would hope that admin would have a record of anything the mod team does. Hell it could've been admin....although I think the admin team was entirely different at the time (besides Entity).

    Checks and balances. Admin watches mods, admin watches admin.

    Copied.

    Could someone copy mine. Database errors can be such a nuisance.

    Yes the posts were definitely deleted maliciously and certain individuals were targeted.

    In other news, Germany has just invaded Poland

    That's tragic, but in a good way.

    I think we have the same ban here in Silver Spring, Maryland.

    I don't know if there are exceptions, like, you know, "Hey this is a smoke bar. Don't fucking come in if you don't want to inhale da smuck."

    You know there'll be some dickhead that comes in and say that it's his right to come in....and make everyone put out the cigs.

    I've always been a non-smoker and think that people that now take up smoking are idiots. However, if they have a spot to enjoy themselves, have a drink, and take a puff, they should be able to do it. I wouldn't think I'd have the right to come in knowing that this has been set aside for them, and fuck it up.

    It sounds like to get around this in banned areas that a place would need to offer free "memberships" and have people sign a simple paper that the establishment is a private club that only allows those who smoke (or can deal with smoke) inside.

    We can then still watch some dickhead challenge it.

    I agree with busy, if a place legally allows smoking and some dickhead comes in and says people should put out their cigarettes then he or she is a fucking dickhead shit for brains fucking cunt bastard.

    Also if a place legally bans cigarettes and some dickhead comes in and insists on smoking then he or she is a fuckbastard and should get a fucking kicking and thrown out for it.

    That seems fair, well said busy.

    Old post but well said.

    Next thing you know, folks won't be able to smoke at home.

    Maybe Scotland can ban titty bars. Some dickhead will come in and say that he shouldn't subjected to such nudity and cry about it to lawmakers.

    Exceptionally good idea, especially if there's a baby in the house.

    There's a proven link between smoking and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome ("cot death"). It's thought that about 80 cot death cases per year in the UK could be prevented by the baby not being exposed to cigarette smoke.
