There's not a lot I can tell you right now, CSpenceFLY, other than that the buck stops at me. I take full responsibility for everything that happened here today and last night. I may not have caused it, but I failed to stop it quickly. Continued here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3421876;page=unread#unread

Ok, all ads should now be gone, or they will be in a few minutes. I do not know what happened, but I will post back Monday sometime with a complete explanation and a plan to make sure it never happens again. First guess -- and this is just from what I'v been told -- is that the network from which those ads come was compromised. I posted in the BF thread earlier from my phone, but I was not in a good reception area and it was problematic, to say the least. ddt has been working tirelessly all day from the west coast since around 7 am his time and we've finally managed to get with the Gossamer folks. I'm going to direct traffic from that thread here.

Typing on phone. Very low signal. DDT working on problem. Have emailed Namemedia helpdesk, but not sure if got thru. Can't express how sorry I am. Hope to have fixed asap. Will check in again later

Okay, should be fixed now. Again, I'm very sorry for the mistake, Michael. My fault entirely. J

Okay, I know what happened. Reviews came in yesterday that flagged your ads as scams, because you're a dealer and "mis-using" the classifieds. I mistakenly approved the reviews, not realizing exactly what I was doing. I'm working on reversing this right now. My apologies, Michael! I'll get this straightened out. Jay

Hi Michael, Not entirely sure, but I am looking into it. I'll have an explanation and solution ASAP. Jay

Hi peek, As luck would have it, there's just such a tool in the works now. Stay tuned. Jay

I have no idea what happened, so I won't go so far as to express an opinion on it, but I do have some insight into how the forums function behind the curtain, which might help. It may very well be that he moved a post that was the root of your post. If you replied to somebody else, and he moved that post, yours would have been unintentional collateral damage. If that's what happened, it may be possible to bring back your posts without the one he originally wanted to move. I second the suggestion that you PM the mod who moved them. Even if my notion isn't the correct one, that's the best way to understand what happened and fix it, if possible.

Gotcha... cool... yeah, that's the same bug people are working on now. It's a tyouch one, because while it happens often, it can't always be reproduced. I'll post up here when it's fixed or with an update when I have one.

Are you talking about your avatar photo to the left of all your forum posts? If so, this may actually be part of a bigger bug we're working on right now.

You have every right to feel violated, because you were. Mark my words, if you don't break ties with this person, you are in for more of the same. Unless you're married to him, this is a one-strike relationship offense. IMO it's on par with violence and cheating.
