Manual grabbers

[YNOT]

G'day all.

Another manual grabber slipped through the cracks just before while the admin team wasn't looking. If you do happen to see this happening and admin are sleeping you can sometimes (but not always) slow them down by sending them a message.
Default profile settings mean these people won't get a private message notification pop up but I believe they will get a visitor message notification at the top right of the screen if you send a visitor message.

You can send a visitor message by clicking on their user name and looking at their profile, the visitor message option is in their profile.

We can't stop all of them but if we work together we can get most of them.

Cheers

Tony

Don't feel bad Bob, none of us are getting paid for this.
This forum is such a great place to be that we all take pride in it and want to protect it. The manuals are a great resource which we don't mind sharing with new forum members who are contributing, but we feel almost violated when someone takes them without contributing anything, like they've stolen them.

P.S. Bob have you got my phone number?

At the moment AB and myself are doing all the moderating, work commitments have reduced the amount of time Paul and Wayne can be on the forum.

No I havnt Tony . Just a suggestion perhaps Nobody can get manuals after 25 Posts until authorised by a Moderator. Dont know whether this could be arranged

I'll PM you my number Bob.

Your idea and a few others have been discussed by admin in the past. We may need to discuss it again.

yeah thats a better idea is it posoible to have to PM to be able to download and that way you can look at the posts and either initiate and extra 25 posts if they are SH@t posts or just decline alltogether and bann them ??

Robbery in broad daylight? Timbar's idea is a good one ( for a change). But may make your workload heavier ? A 24 or 12 hour period to wait for manual shouldnt be that painful.
I'll do what I can obviously.
