    Thanks, I've identified the error and corrected it. I've manually approved everyone who got caught in it. Next person in should not experience the same error. :)

    I think we'll have more people soon. I spoke with silverthwaite again today and if I can't get through to messilane and kentworld she'll do it.
    Let me know if there's anyone else. Shiloh got permanently banned but I email her.

    Shiloh knows, I informed her.
    I`m only allowed to send 5 emails per day via the eBay messaging system to invite members from the AB.
    Looking at the AB today it would appear many more folks will be joining as the antics of DSS just carry on and on and quite a few have been slapped several times today.

    Hi Bev, I am here :) I didn't see my email,thank you :) Its really hard to message folks on the eBay message since eBay deletes links. I have an idea though ;)

    No, I would bet money he doesn't work for eBay..he's just a very competent TROLL..
    He has had years of experience, and he knows just how far he can stretch the rules in his favour..
    Have you noticed how he never allows himself to get ruffled when we comment on his bad behavior or when we chide him for giving an unsuspecting newbie intentional & misleading information?
    His revenge is simple & swift...he just reaches over and presses the 'report' button..and 'viola'..we get handed the pink slips, and vacations....
    TROLLS crave attention, and he lives for, and loves the attention he gets over on the AB board, and as long as the regulars over there acknowledge his presence by responding to his posts, then he isn't going to leave anytime soon..:(:mad::oops::cool:

    I"m just keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't find this board..

    He can find it and read it.:mad:
    If he joins under any ID he will be gone as will his IP address.without warning.:rolleyes:

    Anyone can join this forum it is not invite only, although I have sent invites out to make people aware.
    In the coming days hopefully people will join via word of mouth from existing members .
    There is a report button under each post, hopefully no one will have to use it, but if you suspect him of posting then let the finger do the talking.;)

    Good morning, all. Just now made my way over here. Thanx Dave for the note. Delighted to see Shiloh and Dave again. You two were missed. Got a kick out of the security or whatever question(s) were asked when signing up. I first got the question: What color milk comes from a brown cow or words to that effect. I bet I, we, may know someone who would mess that answer up. I had to stop the registering process because of a phone call. When I got back to it, I got a different question. It was something like which era is the oldest or came 1st, Elizabethan or Victorian? Just last night I was scanning through the latest oil lamp auctions when I spotted one with some of the following words in the description and some in the title, Antique Vintage Victorian Depression Glass Whale Oil Kerosene Lamp!!! Wellll, one of the only bases that seller missed was **Elizabethan**!!!

    Speaking of registering, why in the world did I have to give my DOB??? Now all the world will know I'm not 20 something. :mad: BTW, where do I go to add an avatar?

    The DOB thing is just the default for the software this site uses. Nobody said you have to tell the truth ;)

    I always give the right year, but only sometimes the right month and rarely the right day. That way even if something gets hacked the trolls can't use my information for much but prank calls.;)

    > Nobody said you have to tell the truth ;)<

    Not tell the truth!!!! Tsk, tsk. Why I'm just "as honest as the day is long." :rolleyes:

    A not so famous Casablanca quote spoken by Rick's Cafe head waiter Carl (the chubby man), Szőke Szakáll, when asked if the gambling there was honest after seeing Rick (Humphrey Bogart) let someone win at roulette: "Are you sure this place is honest? Honest! As honest as the day is long."

    I've now turned off the viewing of the date info, privacy settings, via Personal Detail. Couldn't find anyway to actually change the date.
