Ignoring the trolls

[AnonDuck]

Until Platyna cleans up, this should add all of uber's troll accounts to your foes list, where posts are ignored.

To Mr. Troll: Platyna probably won't have a problem using GeoIP to ban everyone from your city+ISP from making new accounts
To Platyna: I've implemented a fairly lame but workable proxy detection function for my personal boards. If you'd like a copy hit me up.

BOPM on forums? Why not, send it.

Well maybe some guys got banned along with uber and they didn't do spamming. I think you should look into that.
It's not a fact but I have heard it might have happened. Just a thought.

Can't believe I'm wasting my time on this, but here it goes.

I honestly believe that Mr. Who did not believe he was trolling. However annoying his personality, I think he was under the impression that his thoughts/comments were appreciated (while often lacking maturity and relevance to anything). I think just make him aware of grievances and unban his user if it is banned (unless I am completely mistaken and he shares a similar location or something)

One could potentially say a lot of things that are less than stellar about Who, and be correct in them. Spamming would not be one of those things. MrWho likes to run in, make a joke, and gtfo. He doesn't make 9 forum accounts to put us through spam hell. We all know it wasn't MrWho spamming the forums yesterday, so why ban him? He didn't do any trolling at all after the important warning. http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... 12&t=11102

Also:

I will not think twice if I assumed the owner correctly.

There's nothing I can say or do to prove MrWho's innocence, but if it counts for anything, I, and the rest of his friends that know him for the man he is, and not the character he plays for the game and the forum know he had nothing to do with the spamaggeddon.

Edit: potentially unfounded accusations

I'd like some help from players in creating content for the game. MrWho and others are invited to play with npc, art and map development. The forums are more fun when they are used to move the game forward. I support Platyna's attempt to calm the trolling down on the forums and I think MrWho has a strong enough character not to let this keep him down.

I also hope to see "Player Talk" be used as a promotional device by player groups, player created events and social networking to encourage player connections. I'd like to see "Player Talk" stop being used to bash or mock others, abuse images and other nonsense which has made "Player Talk" unreadable. Let's enjoy this game with a more pro-active approach. Let's use "Player Talk" as a tool for the game.

To make a long story short :

• LtBK-Club was already banned before yesterday massive spamming of the forum.
• None of the 4 "Jesus" accounts were created or used by me.
• SupportMS-01 : I had great fun to paste the stupidities provided by the various "Jesus" and added my personal foolish comments.

Please give MrWho the little spanking he well deserved and then let him restart his "freshed-up" forum account.

Thanks for your attention.

To be honest everyone was just following the rules that where set for this forum. Low moderation, which for reasons that are now kind of obvious will not work.

Now about MrWho. The only reason I took part in his threads is someone needed to stand up to him. He runs around bullying everyone on the game server soo much that he thinks it is his place to do so. So naturally he passes the behavior onto the forums. There is nothing that can be done about him, either in game or in the forums, but to stand up to his behavior.

He thinks it is funny to make fun of and pick on people. Not only does he like to belittle them, but he thinks it makes him look good. And people like mistakes only encourage his behavior with the above posts and comments in the game. If you ignore him, he will only mock and make fun of you behind your back. If you choose to stand up to him, you have to reduce yourself to his level.

He is a bully, and the only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to them. He likes to run around picking on the people that can not defend themselves and degrade everyone down to childish games. Once he enters the city, the town turns into a bunch of derogatory comments, and severe abuse of others.

I have watch him tell the GM's to go f#$k themselves more then once. But still nothing is done.

I can only say two things at this point.

1.) A set of rules needs to be written that can be followed by players and admins. If you want I can try to help you invent something.
2.) You need to get someone both in the game and on the forums, that can be a little more proactive when it comes to bullying.

DarkWater, i noticed you didn't say spamming, this is nice, because it means that someone that hates MrWho is aware that he isn't a spammer.

[Platyna]

You are hijacking the thread made about something completely different, so you may share the fate of those who got banned for spam, as this is exactly what you do.

About MrWho there is a forum to judge bans, it is highly recommended to use it.

Regards.

Platyna, I think you are intelligent enough to see what is going on here, I also think you are intelligent enough to see that DarkWater is not intelligent enough to post on the forums.

My user was not banned, it was deleted. I wanna see the posts where MrWho spammed, give me links.
The rules of the forum were made by crush and they say Player Talk and Offtopic are low moderation forums. I find it hard to imagine how anyone could be considered a spammer in OFFTOPIC. I mean, damn, it's OFFTOPIC, there is no guideline.

Well I am happy with your decision, like I said before, the reason this game (which is 15 years old) never got popular (like WOW and all the others) is not the graphics, it's the people that run it. You'll never get people to play this game and make some money off the development using the mentality you do now.

I'm actually sick of this Chocolate Cupcake and I will probably quit this lame ass game and play World Of Warcraft. Have fun with DarkWater and the rest of the crazy bunch (all 50 players that actually play this game). Oh and Platyna, there are 50 players playing and over 5000 forum accounts, don't you think that's a bit weird??

[iceslice]

if someone is tired of then have a break or leave it. Why do you post -ve things. Why do you guys attack each other so hot headed. And it's not a money making community, still we need ppl of all kinds who knows how to enjoy without disturbing others.

btw, that punishment was harsh enough. Those who didnt spam/troll after the warning do not deserve such punishment. And to clarify me, I am not an angel. But I am here not to talk for monarchy but democracy. But before, ppl need to behave in a manner.



edit: sorry for not being on topic
