Welcome, RJ!
Yep, that's one thing I think we've had about enough of...
I like to know WHO I'm talking to, and WHO is answerin' me!

Whould it be OK for a schizophrenic?

Yep, sometimes they slip by us for a LITTLE while...
But their ISP number always gives 'em away after a little research.

R.J.,
Glad you approve. Seems like every time I check the old board I find yzguy talking to a new bunch of know-it-alls with less than ten posts. "I've been lurking here for months but never posted until now, yada yada yada..........."

Hope you make yourself at home here.

Best regards, Keys 8)

 

[yzguy]

you'll also notice they are all gone now.....

Yep, yz has been doing a good job weeding out the latest batch of "instant experts" with unsettlingly familiar writing styles... geez, it seems like it never ends!

Hey yz,
I'll have to go take a look see. I only go back there when Flyer gives me a heads up about a particular thread that is a real hoot. Last time he did it was just as I described - all the ten post wonders and you. Glad you're doing such a fine job there with your roundup. Saddle em up and make sure you've got your 13 shooter on ya.

Best regards, Keys 8)

Hey, now you want us to cut you some slack huh? Well, okay, but only 'cause you've got 12 posts. :wink:

Don't make no difference if ya've got 10 posts or 10,000... if we find a dual user or a pre-banned member they're gonna be scalped and mounted faster'n George Custer.

[yzguy]

yeah, the only problem is that I am the only one, and am not around all the time.

I would have preferred there to be at least 3 mods so things could get struck down sooner.

also my ban fuse has gotten shorter......

it would be nice if there was an easier way to check for similar ip's though without having to look up every user separately....

Guess I am glade the 10 Post Wonders are gone, but I still don't know what a Dual user is. Is that like registering two times? Why would some one do that? To talk to ones self? Does not make sense to me, but I don't doubt some person would do that.

Suppose someone has an outrageous opinion. They can make up a second user name to post support for that opinion. Why stop there? Make up a dozen user names and control the whole board making it look like they have the majority on their side. And the crowd shouted - "free KTGnome."

Never going to happen here.

"free KTGnome

PLEASE! I haven't had breakfast yet! Now my stomach is unsettled....thanks...keys............

 

[RHedley]

The use of Dual identities..
Would be two names, or more, to support ones opinion or goal.. Like a *Shill* in a Poker Game. Very un-cool.

IMO

It became really counter productive on the other site. Personal attacks were made and then when the user was banned they would reappear with a different name. The nice thing was that they kept up the same rhetoric so it was not hard to single them out. After having visited a few other similiar sites like this one I can say that this is by far run the best. I would say that I am one of the least opinionated and confrontational people that you would find on an internet chat room, and I have been banned from other sites for posing questions that apparently had a history. Some take the zero tolerance policy too seriously. To the site administrators here, I bid you a job well done! :cheers:

norfdet893,
Maybe we need to add the gnome name to the filtering program - have it print "Big Bird" instead whenever anybody types it. Sorry about breakfast.

[yzguy]

I think he finaly stopped. Last time he only got one post in before being banned.... (I think it was his 4th user name)
