There's nothing funny about what he did. The fact of the matter is that the nonsense that he caused could have caused someone alot of trouble at work. I for one read the forums during break at work.

I was pretty shocked, but if Dave wants an end to this problem, there should be a 24 hr delay to post photos so they can be screened first.

I teach 2-3 hours a day. The rest of the time I develop ciricullum, supervise staff and research for my MBA. Yeah, it blows.

I love how people's job performance is always questioned when saying that porn on this site can cause issues.

Lo mio amico, the moderators are doing their jobs. Consider this, you are arresting people, but someone commits a crime. If someone commits a crime, it doesn't mean the police isn't making arrests.
We are looking into the various problems. Some of us moderators do spend time looking around for the trouble makers and making Dave's a place less attractive for them. The persons doing this have thought this out, but so have we, and we will deal with them.

We apologize for this. I moved everything I saw ASAP, and the user has been banned.

yeah, fair play to the mods, they are not getting paid for their job, so why should they be watching the forum 24/7 took them about an hour to get rid of the guy, its not their fault that some asshole was doing that. Unfortunatly there will always be idiots in this world. granted many people have trashy jobs here. But wherever you work, you shouldnt have the risk of being seen with a picture of whatever by your staff and or director, the forum is after all dedicated to those teaching in korea... therefore why wouldnt it be used by people working in hagwons etc.

So he's gone for now? It's safe to open up any thread again?

"Serious question: why are you even looking at eslcafe at work? Cause your job more than likely blows."

I use Daves for teaching advice, grammar help, sharing lesson plans, learning about different teaching methods and practises, etc. What's wrong with that?

And I have a great job.

Oh, really, so why are you on the general boards during work hours?

Look, I'm not trolling, just playing devil's advocate. This guy has apparently been posting stuff since last night and it's noon the next day. Ban the name, ban pictures for a week. Until then, if he keeps getting away with it...

Can I just ask, is the removal of being able to post pics directly in forums a temporary thing or is it gone for good?
It obv hasn't stopped this loser from continuing his campaign so can it be doable again? Otherwise all the other posters are being penalized while the target hasn't seemingly been affected at all.
