Hacked Accounts, what to do

So the hacked accounts are pretty easy to fix, especially when people see the email change and go on it fast. The problem is usually, at least one post is made in the scammer's name.

Now, all the scammers are doing is, finding the correct password on a previously hacked site, trying it, and if they get in, they change the email and password the make scammer posts in your name using your reputation.

We have been fixing accounts, deleting the scammer posts, and resetting the account, so the member is not out his credentials or time. The problem is I fix an account, and you continue to report them. So we play this back-and-forth game of where we might have missed a post, or the person sees the scam, says nothing, but then sometime later reports the cleaned-up account.

Then we have the problem of which Moderator is contacted and who does what. I fix it, Rob gets contacted, comes in behind me, and bans it.

I might have to start just deleting your account if you were hacked. Otherwise, we chase these same reports 3 and 4 times because people stagger the reports. We fix the issue, as in my mind, it's not a big deal, but then you all turn it into a big deal, and I have to chase it.

Lastly on the same topic, we tell you NOT to make scammer posts; we remove the scammers, the scammers are organized crime and not a person, yet you all think you are smart and start making posts. I caught account RERFFDSEF, and he scammed me; there is no one behind that account, it's faceless as far as you are concerned. What ends up happening instead, you start seeing ghosts EVERYWHERE. I have to clean up accounts every time you all make a Found a Scammer Post. Why you start labeling everything a scam even when nothing is there, and then we stop looking beyond the obvious, You cry wolf and it causes a ton of problems. I cleaned up three accounts today where you accused people of being "scammy" and yet provide no evidence.

On top of that, you reported someone as "scammy" with no evidence and nothing for us to look at, and giving the benefit of the doubt someone was scammed. just saying Scammer is meaningless. You have very little idea of what a scammer account looks like because normally, unless it was a hacked account, they look normal. Now, if you had an interaction with them and see it, but don't give us the details, you wasted everyone's time and probably gave them more time to work.

Please be precise, we have a lot of accounts. With Hacks you have to decide, am I deleting the user name completely or am I fixing them?

Shooting at University of Virginia, 3 dead.

I graduated there in 95. Such an idyllic place in those days. Now a leftist stronghold with 95% blue in 2020. Still sad for all.

Prestigious Connecticut school???


So… some top-flight toney CT prep school has an Iranian perv as their English teacher and running their writing program…

Bet that was a selling point for parents…

Well, they did fire him. For getting caught, probably. The mainstreaming of perversion and the destruction of the nuclear family continues… as planned.

Tikka T3X CTR First Shots...WOW!

Today I took out a new Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5 CM shooting for the first time and I have to say I'm really impressed. I was just using old hand loads (with varying powder charges working up in 0.3 grain increments) I had lying around for a different rifle. I labelled the groups in order. It seems the groups tightened up as I shot more. All groups are 5 shot groups at 100 yards. The average group size was 0.57 MOA and all groups were under 1 MOA. I can't wait to see how she shoots with a bit of load development.

The other cool thing is that the first group being low was a result of crudely boresighting the gun. I shot in the middle of 4 targets sheets to make sure I got on paper. Turns out, I was only 1 inch low on elevation (the point of aim was the red dot above the group) and dead on for windage. It doesn't get much better than that. It was probably pure luck, but I'll take it. :ROFLMAO:

Social credit scores in schools

I recently found out that, starting this year, our local high school implemented a system eerily similar to a social credit system. The school calls it a "responsibility standard." This standard is basically a way to subjectivity alter students' grades. Here's how the school describes the system.

The responsibility standard was intended for each teacher to assess each individual student’s readiness which is assessed every two weeks. This includes turning in assignments by their due dates, having the necessary class materials and demonstrating appropriate behavior during school time.

Friends' daughter is being negatively impacted by this system. She's in sports and an otherwise straight A student. Part of this program mandates that you turn in homework by midnight. With sports its not always possible to get stuff done the same night and is getting grades dropped. Still done before class, just not by the midnight deadline.

I understand rules are rules, but as a whole I see grading on non-academic measures as a means of getting kids used to subjective rating system. Anyone else seeing programs like this in their kids' school?

Neck Tension

I currently use RCBS standard dies for .308. I am planning on upgrading my equipment and thought about getting Matchmaster or Hornady equivalent bushing dies. I have been doing some reading here and elsewhere and it seems that getting consistent neck tension would result in tighter groups. I would assume the only way to get improve this would be to turn the necks on a latch or some sort; Hornady has a tool for this. Am I correct in assuming that turning the necks is the only way to get consistent tension and is there a better tool than the Hornady for this? I really don't want to have to add this step; though I would assume it would be a one and done for the life of the brass.

Bugnut VS shouldered prefit

I’m kind of new to the long range world , I just purchased a defiance tenacity MA with standard bolt face. I was in a Facebook group asking some questions and a gunsmith messaged me and started asking me what I was wanting to do with my custom build. I told him I was intending on buying a shouldered prefit barrel to install to my action. He then told me that he could cut me a barrel and install on my rifle with something called a BUGNUT , and that they were the cool new thing , and that I could have multiple barrels for my rifle and just swap them
Out when needed??? I kind of figured that a person could do the same with shouldered prefits??? And also , I’m having g hard time researching an understanding , but I fell like I read that the bug nut thing , even is used also with prefit barrels??? And if that’s the case why would I need to pay someone to cut and chamber a barrel blank ? My question to y’all is , is this guy correct? And I’d have a better product if I let him cut me a barrel and use a Bugnut ? Or should
I remain on course and just order my proof shouldered prefit? And just to clarify , this guy is not a crook or anything just looking for business , he is locally known and is a good person and he actually competes , so part of me says
To listen to the guy and he may be able
To fit me a barrel that is better than
Just a proof prefit .
