For some reason some of your posts are showing up under my Notifications alert list. Any idea why ? Anyone ?

OJ, why are these showing up on my notifications list ?

At the top of the page, next to the Post Reply button, there's a wrench icon with a drop-down menu; one of the choices is Subscribe topic. If it says Unsubscribe, you have (perhaps unintentionally) signed up for notifications from the thread, and clicking on Unsubscribe should stop them.

Thankyou. The memory still works but is getting shorter.

Is it MN policy that a banned member has the opportunity to contact Admin-Mods regarding a fresh start?
i believe this was the case on MD. Don’t recall anything about it for MN.

Well, anyone is welcome to contact us and apply for restoration. But we haven't banned you yet.

What is not welcome is for a banned member to simply sign up and start posting again, surreptitiously, under a disguised identity. That will probably result in a ban for the new account and any that follow, as soon as we find out.

Thankyou. Can't promise though I may ask again someday.

i only recall one spunky banned member doing that .. (there may have been others.)
i’m not expecting another.

i’d like Falco to return. He may not know it’s even possible.

Search engines have things called spiders. They hit a site, search it for information all at once. so it will show many "users" but it is just one search engine hitting the site with multiple views to gather information for search results. So most likely just one search engine doing its work. I can mark certain sections off from search engines. The Mod area is blocked. The rest is open. The more you all talk, the more hits the site will get from a search engine to gather information.

It looks like Google, Bing, etc. have their own “accounts”. Are the guests connected to them or are there something different?

They are search engine "accounts." This is most likely why they show up as users when they are scanning the site.
