Administrator Email Down

Post by offsetgamematch » Wed May 11, 2016 1:09 pm

Hi,

I've been trying to get access to the guitar shop for a month now. I've sent a fair few emails from two different email accounts to the email address listed but haven't had a response. Any ideas on how to reach the moderators? Have tried pming on here and still no response.

Grateful for any help or advice!

I've been in the same boat as well! All emails returned as undeliverable.

Just to be clear, you're sending mail to admin at offsetguitars.com and getting an undeliverable error? I've tried sending myself messages and had no issues.

Hi Jay,

Yup it's definitely the correct email - still no joy.

I recieved the undeliverable mail a few times over a couple weeks. Definitely had the address correct. I was sending from a gmail account.

I just sent another email from the same account, hopefully it will work this time.
Thanks!

On a tangent, I wonder if notifications sent to the mods when we click on 'Report this post' aren't being delivered. There's been a member here spamming normal discussion threads trying to sell his guitars for a few weeks now, I remember reporting a couple of posts about a fortnight ago that are still there.

Is 'fortnight' not in fairly common use where you are? :unsure:

Anyway... one of my reports 'has been deleted by an administrator or moderator'. Yet the offending posts remain.

I guess trading on the forums is OK now if you feign confusion about 'so sorry guys didn't realise where I was posting' for about half a dozen posts?

Where is this offending post that remains? I am currently on holiday, but can you post a link here that I can easily see?

The only post for sale from that guy that I saw yesterday is in the for sale section?

I think it is easy to think that mods and admins read every thread every hour of the day, but it is impossible to do so, and banning people is something that needs to agreed with by the staff, I can't ban people right away...its just the way the process works.

Anyway, I am about to go sight seeing, but if you post a link to the offending post I will delete it.

Hi Yannis,

There were two posts in this thread about a week apart, posted in mid to late July:

Re: Any Gibson Firebird players?

They've recently (this afternoon) been deleted.

There were other offending posts here and here, since edited.

There was another one along with someone who had quoted the post in it's entirety but that also looks to have been cleaned up recently?

I know moderation is a thankless task and you guys do a great job in the (seemingly) unusual cases where things need tidying up 8)

Anyway many thanks, cheers and more importantly: enjoy your sight-seeing!

Hey Andy no worries at all, good to hear everything is cleared up. It is hard doing this sometimes as we are all in different time zones, but of course this is also the cool part :)
