Saved Searches and Aftermath of the Puppet Hunt
Dear members,
There's one major new feature this week: you can now save your search settings and see the results again without having to re-enter your search terms. To save a search all you have to do is name it before you click on "Search", by entering something into a text box above the "Search" button. Thanks to munichsubfight for submitting the idea to the suggestion box!
I am happy to announce that the first iteration of the sockpuppet hunt is now over. There are a few left over, and I have few doubts that some more will come at future times. Consequently I will repeat the hunt every two weeks from now on. It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. Of course, I got a whole bunch of messages in the aftermath, most of them supportive (from regular members), some of them unhappy (from puppet masters). I even got one threat of legal action in the process. (Getting these is part of running a site like this, it's not the first and certainly not the last. One day I will collect them and publish them in a book. Ah, the memories...)
Sadly, the first iteration of the Sockpuppet Hunt has also resulted in one mistake: I have erroneously marked badladuk and biglad69 as sockpuppets. This is not the case, and I apologize to them both, and hope they forgive this incident and will continue to find our site useful to them.

22/08/2010 16:56You can never be sure you won't make a mistake and label someone incorrectly, with all the best will in the world it just happens now and then unfortunately.
But genuine folk should understand that it's for the greater good and any mistakes can always be rectified.
The only alternative is to do nothing and that's not a viable option.
So well done for doing it.
