Well its obvious that the admin of this site couldnt care less! if the zone crashes, or ceases to exist, because of this purile eeejit,no doubt this will be answered with the same filth flooding the boards you have been warned Admin now bloody well show some backbone and get rid!!.

wow, you tell em you go. i've just seen the posts and they're disgusting, how dare someone post something like that, especially in the safe haven board. that is disgusting. sorry done now.

Yeah, I don't see why there isn't a way of blocking this person. I usually check out the Boards thru "Topics with New Posts", and this person's worthless crap is taking up all these pages. In fact, their little so-called "contributions" have taken up several pages in a row; I forgot how many, but at one point, I had to skip a good number of pages just to find a meaningful topic. This person has been posting since yesterday, and apparently longer, since I'm assuming it's the same person, so wouldn't there be a way to block that person from getting in here somehow? I was on here yesterday when zonefucker had all their crap on here, and now it's abcdefg whatever person, and still, I see that zonefucker's stuff is still here. I know there's freedom of speech, but come on! This person or whatever it is is really getting out of hand. I do skip over all that stuff, but I'm honestly getting tired of coming to the Boards because of this problem. And besides quicknotes and games, that's all I really come here for. The Boards are cool, but something should really be done about this one jerk whose ruining everything!

I agree

Actually, follow what we've been doing, then make your judgment. That's all I'm gonna say.

Post 6 by Nem (I just keep on posting!) on Tuesday, 08-Feb-2005 16:30:33

All of them the admin's and the cl's they are trying to curb this nonsense. There is a lot of things involved in just getting rid of one person. Critizism is one thing but without offering a solution, you are just becoming part of the problem.

Post 7 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Tuesday, 08-Feb-2005 16:33:45

And as for the one person himself, he's the luckiest lad alive isn't he? I mean, he's achieved his desired objective in having topic after topic after topic dedicated to moaning about him!

Well stated both LL and DF.

Post 9 by Jess227 on Tuesday, 08-Feb-2005 18:39:06

Hey if you were so bothered by this Gob why didn't you just email the admin privately? Did you see me getting upset this morning when I logged in and saw to my horror that the boards were carpet bombed with filth? What did I do? I logged into Messenger and saw JJ online but away status was up. I PMed him urging him to do something if not just clear the filth. There were 7 pages of crap they had to deal with, and it was delt with. SO don't say he's not doing anything and letting the site go to hell. When he was working on cleaning up someones 7 pages of crap. Not to mention they are working on security stuff (you'd be surprised if you just open a announcement and read it.) and adding new features. Give the CLs and admin a break would you? For the past few days they had to put up with bull shit that no admin or mods would want to put up with. Think before you post.

Post 10 by Caitlin (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Tuesday, 08-Feb-2005 22:06:15

Gosh guys what's your problem? Admin and them are all trying sooo hard to get rid of them and you bash at them? Obviously they aren't liking any of this any more than we are! I see no point you all bashign at poor CL's and admin! Good gohs ... And not even coming back to apologize is just mean ... gosh! I knwo for a fact Admin condones none of this!

Post 11 by Jess227 on Tuesday, 08-Feb-2005 23:10:12

Yup agreed Caitlin. I'm not complaining I'm more so praising the admin and CLs for the hard work they put in. If people don't appricate what these people do on a day by day basis and not appricate the site then why the hell are these people on here to begin with? Waste time? I dunno but try and be positive folks the site and it's members/admins and cls just had a rough weekend with the trolls give the admins and cls a break.

Post 12 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Tuesday, 08-Feb-2005 23:30:33

I got the message in the email earlier this evening about what they're doing, and was even thanked for bringing it to theirattention. as for Goblin, I'm not even reading his responses to my posts anymore, not after that last flame he threw at me. if he wants to waste his time posting to someone who doesn't read his posts its ok with me.

Post 13 by Caitlin (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Tuesday, 08-Feb-2005 23:40:23

Yeah I agree BlindVI. I love this site and would be lost without it. I've made so many good friends here. And it's all thanks to Admin and the CL's for doing all they do. So I hate to see them dissed and that's why I ranted above. So you lot are wrong in saying they don't care. In fact, we just had another episode and Admin and a CL are on ehre right now coping with the aftermath. So just calm down y'all and don't be so dramatic about it, if that makes sense.

Post 14 by Godzilla-On-Toast (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 0:03:36

I also have to add my thanks and much respect to the admins and community leaders. Yeah, I saw what happened this morning, but I figured they have enough know-how about message boards to be able to do something about it. No complaints here by any means. Be glad it was just one person and not thirty.

Post 15 by Caitlin (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 0:05:57

What happened this morning? I musta missed it? What's that guy on? Like, his fifth alias now. And the admins are still working tirelessly to fix all this guy has done, to repair the dmaage, to keep him away as best they can. This site rocks, and so do the people working constantly to keep it as it is. You all rock.

Post 16 by Twinklestar09 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 0:46:05

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to get on the admin's and leaders' case as in not appreciating what they do for us on this site. After I had posted my last post on this topic, I found and read that other post on what they've done to fix the problem, and am glad to know that person is gone. *smiles* I was just frustrated and angry that a person could come on here and post all that crap nonstop. I almost thought that this place could go down like HotBraille, and I guess was just wondering (at that moment and when I was tabbing thru all those insulting topics) why that person couldn't be stopped right away. But yeah, it's great that this place is fixed. Thank you Admin and Zone Leaders. *smiles*

I tried to PM admin however the message was never delivered due to some fault or other..

Post 18 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 8:29:43

The minute the invisible poster arrived something should have been done to investigate that joker and there was no need to let Zonef..ker go so far,furthermore if I'd been in charge he would not have got as far as registering on to the site.

Post 19 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 8:50:29

If you'd been in charge Goblin we'd all have been queuing up to cancel our accounts rather than register them! flying horses, dragons, it wouldn't be safe!

Post 20 by Freya (This site is so "educational") on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 10:05:46

C'mon Gobby is you were in charge we'd all be banned wouldn't we?? No,no LL it's flying dragons and little cutsie horses get it right man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooops sorry mean m'learned friend over there.

Post 21 by wildebrew (We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 11:37:35

Goblin, must site with the rest of the board and say this was way overstepping the line and criticism admin who is actually, over all, doing a great job, it's not as if hes being paid to do this .. not even that many people sign up for premium membership ... if they did he might have more teimt to pay attention to the site. I think he (and the rest of the gang that oversees this) has done a tremendous job here.
Cheers

Post 22 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 11:39:28

I noticed that the zonef..ker is still able to visit this site...obviously they condone his abusive tirade might he become a regular visitor,will the childish purile crap become a regular aspect of the zone...

Post 23 by sugarbaby (The voice of reason) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 11:58:52

actually goblin although he has returned he hasn't been able to post anything because he has had to re-create his account and i imagine this will not be varified by an admin/cl. check the facts before you start criticising again.

Post 24 by Nem (I just keep on posting!) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 12:56:25

So Goblin, what say you? How would you stop this terrable person from getting on the site? Do tell, inlighten all of us old chap? We are waitig to drink in all your forsite and know how? If you think I was being patranizing before, what do you think of this!

D-

Post 25 by KC8PNL (The best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better.) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 15:07:12

Yeah Goblin, what is your master plan for getting rid of people like that? And hey, and if u can do a better job, why don't you do so? Write your own sight, get people to visit it (that'll be a challenge in of itself), write some games and message boards, and let's see how well your sight does. If you get as many users as we do here and can maintain it better than we do on the zonebbs, I'll give you credit where credit is due. But until you have tried it yourself and know what u r talking about, I suggest you stop wining. Now, I can't speak for the other CL's and the admins, but I can speak for myself when I say that I love constructive criticism and suggestions, but not wining just to be a nusense. So, let's get this show going Goblin. How would you stop the abuse of idiots and still maintain freedom of speech? I'm curious.

Post 26 by admin (I just keep on posting!) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 15:13:43

Hello. Please explin how you would have stopped him from registering. BTW, the latest instance of the user, while registered, is not verified and won't be. So even though you saw him logged in, he can't post to the boards. And if he finds a way to, we'll take care of it and make sure it doesn't happen again. We'll soon be taking unverified users off of the logged in list so you won't even see their names.

Post 27 by Big Pawed Bear (letting his paws be his guide.) on Wednesday, 09-Feb-2005 16:50:11

I won't add more to this conversation, except to say that site security is never an issue until it becomes one. admin and his programmers did the best they could in the first instance, and when the security has been found wanting, they've tightened it up massivly! now we know what is going on with every new signup, every problematic post, everything we can think of I think. Designing and maintaining a website like this is complex, and rather like a new building, you don't know security is lacking until someone breaks in! hats off to everyone who helped over the last few days.

Post 28 by Freya (This site is so "educational") on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 8:27:22

Hmmmm let's see if he comes back to answer his critics, not usually in my experience...

Post 29 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 10:13:28

I would have banned the fecker the minute he left even 1 abusive post and I would have hunted out the other trouble makers and banned the whole feckin lot of em!..There is no excuse for leting some numpty run riot on a site the way ZF was allowed to

Post 30 by sugarbaby (The voice of reason) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 10:24:16

um goblin, and how would you have prevented him from re-creating new accounts with different email addresses and coming on the site under different aliases?

Post 31 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 11:01:11

How do you know its a male....
all you need is perseverence and do you think a cretin such as ZF would change his spots overnight I very much doubt it.

Post 32 by sugarbaby (The voice of reason) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 11:08:30

well i guess it's possible it could be a female but it's highly unlikely. that is generally just not female type behavior. as for the rest .. well, you can ban a user name, he'll create a new one, you can ban an email address, he'll create a new one, you can ban an IP address, that can be renewed ... so ... goblin, what do you propose.

Post 33 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 11:42:31

I propose the site could get the police involved and scare the crap out of this eejit...this could very well be female behaviour we stereotyping here

Post 34 by KC8PNL (The best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better.) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 12:05:28

Get the police involved goblin? Please! I guess u have been watching too many movies hahahaha. As for ZF and his changing his "spot" goes, he was logging in to different proxies to make it imposible to track him, and since u know how to make this sight so much better Goblin, I'm very disappointed u didn't know that people can do this. ZF has been back, but we have been taking care of the problem. And please goblin, stop trying to redirect the the issue here. By nit picking at others posts, e.g., your response to Sugarbaby's calling it a him, and answer our question. How would u have prevented this from happening? C'mon Goblin, we're still waiting for a good solid answer, although I doubt we'll ever get one.

Post 35 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 13:09:55

I was well aware that he was being extremely devious pal..so dont bother assuming anything with me..you will always be wrong..This is my last word on the subject with yourself its clear to me that you are spoiling for a fight and I refuse to lower myself to that level.

Post 36 by InternetKing (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 13:16:38

It's funny how you always escape to answer the real question? how would you have prevented this guy from coming on here. You stated that you would ban him the minute he came on. The minute it was realised by an admin that he was on here, he was band, but he kept coming with different usernames and, as others have stated, with proxies, so you still haven't answered, what's so better that you would do that aminds already haven't done, of course you're not gonna answer, because you don't have the answer, and now you're going on about this crap how someone's trying a fight, noone is, but you just don't have any evidence or any facts that you would do something better than has already been done. You should be lucky that you can have all you have on thyis site because people have spent a lot of their time to ake this site what it is, and you know what, they didn't ahve to! So stop talking crap and be greatful for what you have or just don't bother coming on here.

Post 37 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 20:16:54

and also with the ip addresses, some isps have dynamic ip addresses, for instance, mine does, which makes it harder for people to hack into your computer, if the ip address changes every time you log in to the net. Unfortunately, I think a troll can take advantage of this too.

DF, c'mon, that wasn't very nice, even if you were being right about Goblin being down for the count. Come on Goblin your'e being ridiculous you couldn't have banned thsi guy yourself. The admins are doing all in their power to stop him. Since he keeps reregistering with enw IPs and E-Mail addresses how do you propose they stop him? But you wont' answer because you have supposedly left this topic behidn or something .But whatever. Anyway, it's criticisms liek this that could put this awesome site in jeopardy. Hoenstly theyr'e doing all they can to stop. and the reason yoru PM bounced back was a bug which has been recognized and fixed. Caitlin

hi Angel, Yes I know, I just got a very nice pm from df explaining how he meant it, and I appreciated very much. My teacher told me once, that I jumped to conclusions, which I do, but I'm quick to apologize, if I find I am in the wrong about how something was meant. As for Goblin, maybe it's my imagination, but it seems he's been replying more since I made it clear I was not reading or replying to his posts anymore, and I fear he's picking on others more, since you can't pick on someone who is refusing to read your posts, so I fear he's attacking other people,because he can't attack me anymore, and I'm deeply sorry that he's taking that out on the rest of the zone.

Sorry Angel, I did know that and was just kind of chiding DF, in a teasing way, and I think WW knew that too. And Goblin, I never said your opinions would ruin the site. I said sayign that the admins dont' care is going to ruin the site cuz they'll get sick of hearing all that. And how was I being a hypocrite? And again, his using multiple ID's and spamming cusses on Safe Haven is not permitted, and thus they are trying ot ban him! Notice he hasn't been on for awhile? And finally, what about KC's question?

Goblin I think the admin should ban you for abusive posting and being attention-seeking...at least I would think that if i was the sort of person who cried 'Off with his head!' every time someone disagreed with me. Honestly Goblin, the Scottish National Party should take you on a tour of England, because after five minutes with you we'd all be moving as fast as we could to give scotland independence!

Post 58 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Sunday, 13-Feb-2005 15:31:20

No no no, it's not creatures such as myself that make the scots detest the English, if indeed they do detest the English in general which I doubt. I was at Oxford with a number of people from glasgow and we got on famously. but I digress. The reason that some Scots hate the english is because they think it's patriotic to do so, and their national anthem reinforces that myth. Yet when it comes to making the case for independence, Alex salmond can do no better than ask repeated piffling questions about the oil and gas policy of the European Union! It's hilarious! He would take scotland out of the UK and further into the eU, and yet if he achieved his aims he'd pass control of Scotland's oil and gas entirely to the EU, and yet he keeps wining to tony Blair about the policy? It's about time that scottish Nationalists joined the rest of us in the twenty-first century instead of remaining stuck in the sixteenth, holding the bizarre belief that all was Rosy and happy when Scotland used to have independence. The facts indicate quite the opposite. even King James VI of scotland wasn't the least bit interested in it when he realised he had become King of England! The reason for that was of course that Scotland suffered very much when it was independent, and has benefitted massively from the union. So be sensible eh?
