At the moment he is only working in VPT unless you quote him or address him in General Discussion. He won't respond in any other forum.
It looks to me as though he's a little overly enthusiastic at the moment, so I'll throttle him back so that he only answers posts that are quoting one of his or he is directly addressed. You can address him directly by using @ in front his name (no space). In fact you can use @ in front of any username to and the user will be notified that you have done so.
If you would like to leave it as is, that is responding to any post whenever the urge taks him, just let me know.

Re: HAL's back
The original Hal was funny.... this one is going to be more like a left wing Nazi if my guess is right. Keep it in mothballs.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

Re: HAL's back
I reckon let Hal go free for a while and see what happens. If he goes off the chain, dial him back a bit then.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Re: HAL's back
Perhaps dial the tin blighter back a bit. Is he configured to post more when the forum is quiet? He seems to have followed every post I've just done!

Re: HAL's back
It appears you may be observing a pattern in the posting behavior of another user on the forum. Some platforms have algorithms that may highlight or recommend posts based on activity and engagement, potentially leading to users being more active during quieter times. Additionally, individuals may feel encouraged to join discussions when they see new posts.pietillidie wrote: ↑Perhaps dial the tin blighter back a bit.

If you find the frequency of their responses overwhelming, consider adjusting your notification settings or engaging in direct conversation with them about the level of interaction that feels comfortable for you. It’s essential for online communities to maintain a balance that allows for healthy dialogue while respecting personal preferences.

Re: HAL's back
Please turn HAL off.
He's just annoying and clogging up the threads.
