Shut up Paperboy!!!

So, it appears you're using this "Paperboy" account to post up RSS feeds but they are flooding the forum with posts and giving away spoiler information about races I have not yet watch.

Just block "paperboy"....if you want to go and read the RSS feeds you can simply click into the Pressroom forum. That's what I did, anyway.

Do you have the Today's Posts link marked in your favorites as your link to the site? If so, you need to update your favorites link.

Re: Shut up Paperboy!!!

nah that didnt work.

At the bottom of user options .... there is an area where you can choose what forums to not pull from with "get new posts" I cant seem to add Roadracing world in there. I think that would cut the paperboy from my mcadx life right?

Re: Shut up Paperboy!!!

Well sure, that would fix the problem for me, but what about all the other members that will have the same problem.

If an actual member posted such a thing without labeling it as "spoiler", he would be ripped to shreds. I can't believe that raw RSS feeds which give information about the outcome of a race in the subject is okay with everyone.

Have I stumbled into bizarro word of something?

Just use today's posts and then wait for ten seconds and hit it again. All the paperboy stuff goes to the "unchanged" section.

Re: Shut up Paperboy!!!

I give up. No matter what I do the paperboy is still spreading spoilers. I'm done visiting this site until I have a chance to get caught up on all the races I haven't seen.

Re: Shut up Paperboy!!!

And you won't, with Today's Posts or New Posts, unless you have the old link for those bookmarked from long ago, before it excluded those forums. But, that has already been mentioned...

Aha, I was using an old bookmark for new posts, I missed that info when it was posted the first time.

Re: Shut up Paperboy!!!

We're not bringing any past antipathy into this, people. Those news feeds were very annoying when they first showed up.

Glad it's not an issue now, BK.
