Straight Dope Forums.

Postby spotify95 » January 25th, 2015, 3:50 pm

What an absolute joke!

As soon as I try and at least participate in some conversations, people report my posts, and I get banned for being a "troll" - with the message:

vBulletin Message wrote:You have been banned for the following reason:
Troll
Date the ban will be lifted: Never


What on earth is going on?! Is this the worst forum on the internet?!

Something needs to be sorted out! :mad:

First try sending an email via contact us at the bottom asking them to look into the issue.

If they refuse to budge, well..........


Imageeriously, life's too short to be worried about retards on an internet forum. :eek2: :eek3:

I'll only do that if my main spotify95 account (which I shall create later) has any problems.

As for the others, I'll just keep creating puppet accounts! :D

Apparently, according to my records, I should now have 7 active puppet accounts - if they haven't banned any more! :D

Ouch! :ouch:

They seem to have mass-banned my puppet accounts, most of which haven't even been posted with.

I'll have to try again - if I can't, I'm forgetting about that forum until we can do a plan!

How on earth do you manage to get away with multiple IDs yet I've had about 10 IDs banned - most of which I havent even posted on?

Luckily I am using that curid account that I created for you - and they haven't picked up yet, despite bumping a 4 year old thread!

This is a response from a mod that I got from when I asked about mod preview of posts:

Thoo-

I'm a moderator here and posts do not need to be approved. However, your first post was a strange, weird thing with a bunch of odd characters and the words "University of Greenwich" and that was it. One of my fellow moderators wished it into the cornfield never to be seen again.

We get a godawful amount of spam and such here at the SDMB and moderator policy is to disappear them as quickly as possible. It's also policy to ban such spammer with no notice. You appear to have avoided this fate so whichever mod did it must have decided you didn't fit that profile.

In any case, welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board. I hope you'll enjoy your stay here and find many threads in which you can contribute.


By "strange, weird thing with a bunch of odd characters", do they mean the "QQ<symbol><symbol><numbers><symbols>University Of Greenwich" thread, aka this?

It's good to hear that I was "welcomed" to the SDMB - despite having at least 10 previous accounts on there! :D

Like that idea, but I'm not comfortable making any more accounts on there in case they contact either of our ISPs! :(

By the way, here's something I found on the SDMB which made me laugh! :D

Note the sequence in that CTAM thread (which was later closed):

5, 6, 7, zoid! :D

That zoid user doesn't really like us, do they? :(

Also, note the accounts that were being used - princechromey. (yep, there's a point at the end of the name) and Midnight12! :D

Nope - especially when I remember what Zoid used to do with us before! He kept replying to our posts with "Reported", remember? Then we would lose both our accounts and our posts :banghead:

It's gone!!!! :(

My heartsplayer account has totally vanished! :(

They may have deleted my posts as well, though I can't be certain. The post about Metal Halide - LED Bulbs has GONE!!!

Please help me take over that place with tons of different impersonation accounts etc? Whatever you're doing to TSR now, let's both do to SDMB - agreed?
