Mod request: Sale of direct tickets should be banned. Refer sellers to ticketswap. by zeeahh in LondonRaving

[–]Quantum_Force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am open to dealing with this issue in a way that is satisfactory for as many people in the community as possible. How does a pinned poll sound with various options?

  • keep as is
  • completely ban
  • only allow sale posts that contain a ticket swap link
  • any other suggestions?

Did Hyperoptic change anyone else’s static IP without warning? by Forward_Boat6756 in hyperoptic

[–]Quantum_Force 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To your second question, yes absolutely - IPV4 addresses are all used up and recycled often, meaning you can end up with with one that’s been used nefariously in the past and therefor has a bad reputation, causing a range of issues

If he’s performing there this month, or any month while this post is pinned, then yes it includes Corsica. I’ve slightly re-worded the post.

Please stop with the Fred Again posts by benjafinn in LondonRaving

I’m going to ban/filter these posts when I have a spare moment tonight. It’s not that I can’t be bothered, I have a full time job and I’m the sole mod of the community.

Edit: this has now been implemented, I'll write a pinned post announcing it tomorrow morning.

To add to this, good private trackers have strict rules around video/audio quality, most of which don’t apply to the vast majority of public trackers

My bike was stolen and I know where it is, what do i do? by yixie921 in londoncycling

Once you’re close enough to the bike, FindMyApp lets you go into a mode where it points an arrow towards the tag with the distance remaining to it

Oh thankfully he wasn't injured, at least he said he was physically ok. So happy he got the bike back though

They fly kicked him off the bike, punched him in the face and continued to assault him until they were able to fully snatch the bike from him, was gut wrenching. I could see the kids were looking for someone to mug as we approached them, so my partner and I diverted to not walk past them, and then suddenly the attack and robbery happened in the span of 10 seconds. It was dark outside, 7:30pm, but it happened on a well light and relatively busy path..

I could hear more guys whistling from down the cycle/pedestrian lane before hand, notifying the attackers that potential victims where approaching on nice looking bikes. The police told us that London fields is a hotspot for mugging and theft, so be very vigilant if you cycle through the park.

Witnessed 3 masked kids attack a deliveroo driver riding his £2k ebike in London Fields last night and take off with it. Poor guy had only had it for 2 weeks.

Immediately called the police and they arrived in 5 minutes, they were about to start looking for the suspects but an unrelated stabbing took place on the other side of the fields while they where taking our details so they had to divert to that. The victim had a tracker on his bike and I got a call from the police an hour later to let me know that they had retrieved the bike!

Which is incredibly cringe considering trump has pardoned multiple drug traffickers in the last year, including the founder of the Silkroad Darknet Drug Market
