	U Look Like U Saw A Ghost - Ex Member Feb 14^th, 2012 at 5:11pm Hey Rad or other Moderators Quote: U Look Like U Saw A Ghost - Ex Member Anybody know what's up with this? When I look at old posts by U Look Like U Saw A Ghost, he's still shows as an active member!

link?

Here's a thread he started: http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1319585055

And, you can click on his name and go to his forum profile page.

But, at least on this morning's forum home page, he's listed twice as an *Ex Member* for two threads shown there.

If you click on the link on the home page to the most recent post for that above thread, it shows this link: http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1319585055/7#7

It shows reply #7 of 7, but, that thread only has 6 replies.

	Re: U Look Like U Saw A Ghost - Ex Member Reply #3 - Feb 15^th, 2012 at 3:28pm @ NightOwl It happened to me recently. I was an Ex Member. When Rad deletes a spam post the member who posted above the spam post becomes an Ex Member. But only for that post.

Oh, good observer!

I have never looked back at the threads from which I have *removed* spam--I always *move* the offensive post. But, I think Rad often *deletes*.

So let the testing begin--next post will be a test post for deletion.....

	Re: U Look Like U Saw A Ghost - Ex Member Reply #5 - Feb 15^th, 2012 at 10:41pm @ Brian Well, that didn't seem to work. I deleted my last post--it's gone, but I did not get listed as an Ex-Member. So, I'll try another angle....

	Re: U Look Like U Saw A Ghost - Ex Member Reply #6 - Feb 15^th, 2012 at 10:49pm @ Brian Well, my second post is now deleted, but I'm still not an Ex-Member! Brian, post a response showing you saw may last three posts. Then post a test post saying that it is for test deletion. Let me delete it and see if your next to last post lists you as an Ex-Member once again.

I think for U Look Like U Saw A Ghost, it looks like it happened when Christer moved two spam posts to the Recycle folder on Feb. 13.

Hey Christer--do you remember .... ?

Did you *Ban* and/or *Delete as members* the two spammers whose postings you moved to the Recycle folder on Feb. 13.

Someone must have *Deleted* them, because they are now shown as *Ex-Members* in the Recycle folder.

It would be helpful to know what the sequence of events were that lead to their *Ex-Member* status--i.e. were they moved to the Recycle folder first, banned first, or deleted as members first--and what happened in what order.

If we can figure out what sequence lead to *U Look Like U Saw A Ghost* being listed as an *Ex-Member*, even though he's not actually in that category, maybe we can figure out how to reproduce that *bug*.

In both cases, I banned both the username and email-addy but I didn't ban the IP-addy. Next, I deleted the member. Maybe over worked but they can't come back with the same details.

I remember reacting on "U Look Like U Saw A Ghost - Ex Member" but I don't remember if it was before or after moving those posts.

	Re: U Look Like U Saw A Ghost - Ex Member Reply #14 - Feb 18^th, 2012 at 11:22am The first action taken was to move the post to the Recycle Bin. Next, I banned the username and email-addy. Finally, I deleted the member.
