Vanishing Annoying ID Requests

Recommended Posts

Is it just me or did a bunch of annoying posts about individual fossil specimen IDs from the internet and a newbie trying to sell something on TFF with his very 1st post for $12,000, just vanish into thin air, never to be seen or heard from again? Except in TFF folklore......

Reminds me of multiple recent posts stating what were obviously water worn rocks were actually teeth and skulls.......

It's just a conspiracy theory. 

Group hallucination. 

You just imagined it. 

Or something.

In all seriousness, if members encounter suspicious posts, or those that are in violation of our forum rules, do not hesitate to use the “report post” link. We do try to read and see everything, but sometimes stuff slips through. It helps us address the issue, and keeps this forum the wonderful space that it continues to be. :)

Some of us already use that function, y'know ;)

Is that what the muffled screams from the basement were about?

 

You folks do an outstanding job keeping this the very best fossil forum ever. And boy-o-boy I remember some horrible ones from years back. Anyone remember the one for east coasters? Somehow it was filled with the worst mean-spirited bunch of social imbeciles you could ever imagine. Every other reply was a flame thrower of invective...foul.

Better watch out, we might not see you again if you keep up that sacrilegious talk ;)

I'm not really into social media other than this site until recently.  ( I know,  weird considering that I'm one of the first members here) My daughter set me up with a Facebook account this last Christmas.   She helped me to join some groups that we thought I would like.  I assumed they would be kind of like here.  I was very wrong.  People outside here are rude, know-it-all, and just look to correct and belittle complete strangers.  Cussing,  threatening, political garbage, trolling, etc spew from people like water from a fountain.  

This is the best place on the internet.  Much of that is thanks to our moderators booting undesiberables out like tossing overburden over a cliff!

Thanks!!

Just say “you’re outta here” to undesirable TFF posters like Wally George on Hot Seat used to say to his guests.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

My favorite was the guy who admitted he knew nothing about fossils or science but he was absolutely certain that the round rocks he had were fossil turtle eggs.  Uncorroborating CAT scans seemed to take a little starch out of him but he vowed to come back someday and prove us all wrong.  Fight the power, Homer.
