Help!! Some random Admin is messing with my conversations!

[dam718]

Alright, I don't know what account this is or who it is...

Someone named "flushdraw" has been messing with my messages, OLD messages from years ago. Messages that aren't showing up any more in my conversations because I deleted them years ago...

And not messages I have received... Messages I sent to other people... YEARS ago

I can't see any of this activity through the forum website... I am seeing it all on Tapatalk...

"flushdraw sent you a message" over and over and over in the alerts on my phone...

But these messages aren't showing up in Tapatalk... They aren't showing up in the forums. Nothing...

So what is going on here? Who is this "flushdraw" Admin guy, and why is he messing with my messages?

Is this somehow related to the error I am receiving when I try to delete a conversation that has no participants? My conversations list is packed with stuff that I can't get rid of! LoL

 

[dam718]

Ugh, I am getting bombed again... 14 messages in the last minute or two...

Any admins out there that can just delete everything in my conversations? Completely purge all of my PM's new, old, archived, whatever? LoL This is ridiculous!

I can't delete them, and this flushdraw guy is relentless!

We have an issue that's currently being investigated and tested so members can finally delete old PMs from the vB days. Unfortunately, as you're using Tapatalk which cheerfully pushes notifications, you're getting notified that we're working on things.

Thanks for the update. I was starting to worry that maybe I was getting hacked or something? LoL... This thing is sending me notifications of messages that I know I deleted a long time ago. Does the software just hold on to all messages, even ones that we delete?

Ghosts in the machine.

A lot of folks forgot to clean out their "Sent Items" folder as well. So yeah, we're having a bit of an issue with the old PMs and people's inability to delete them. We'll get there, even if we have to flush the tables manually to get these old messages out of your inboxes.

 

[dam718]

Ahh, that's probably what it is was all of my sent items... Considering everything I am seeing is old messages I sent... LoL

im getting same. and i cant delete any of my pm's either. even on pc without tapatalk.

Ahh... I was wondering what that was... I'm having the same irritating issue with Tapatalk messages from flushdraw, too. Good to know it's not something malicious...

They are trying to find the fix to PM's/Conversation deletion problem. Sorry if you are getting those notifications. It is a baffling problem.

Flushdraw is one of our IT guys working on the problem

 

[WillyZee]

yeah, I'm hearing from flushdraw so often ... I'm thinking about adding him as a friend

 

[retired1]

Spoiler: The REAL reason you're getting these notices

It's our secret plan to drive Tapatalk users quietly insane.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Please don't purge all the old conversations, I have some I want to save.

We'll try our best not to delete anything. The issue is proving rather difficult to solve. We know what's causing it, but the solutions aren't cooperating.

Retired1, if you go through the database to delete messages I added a prefix to them so they can be identified. I grabbed copies, you folks have enough going on so if you have to nuke them so be it.

You did a great job on the site and my 5 conversations shouldn't slow you down.
