Members rushtallica Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 Originally posted by Anderton ... OJ is not closing. This was a rumor started by someone who actually faked screen shots with the sole purpose of causing chaos in OJ. Even though I've said multiple times OJ is not closing down, the rumor persists. I like the idea of moving OT threads in the amp forum to OJ, but last time we tried that, there were a lot of complaints. Maybe things have changed and people are more receptive to that concept. I didn't think OJ was closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members strat2 Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 Originally posted by Anderton > We don't endorse the BS. But there is no official moderator for this forum, and when we come in and ban people, it starts a whole bunch of threads about why did the mods ban this guy, this forum should be self-moderating, etc. I think those can be more of a distraction than the troll threads. But that's minor at the moment; the far bigger issue with moderation right now is the porn bots. You may not realize it but we have banned hundreds of "new members" in the last month or so who post spam with supposed porn links that actually take you to a virus. Every time I log on, which is several times a day, I'll find another "new member" who has posted multiple messages with the porn/virus links in multiple forums. This requires going into the member directory, finding other posts, deleting them, etc. This is something all the moderators do and it is extremely time-consuming. Certainly, the people reporting these posts have made our life much easier but the manual work to get rid of this stuff adds up. As a result, for now, someone posting a useless thread in the Amps forum is a much lower priority than weeding out all the posts with virus links. In geneal, trolls will go away if ignored or not encouraged, but the porn bot posts require our active involvement on a 24/7 basis. The irony is that if we're good at getting rid of them, it appears that the mods are doing nothing because you don't run into those posts. > Banning is not the panacea some people think. Banning a troll simply encourages the troll to come back under a different name, with a different IP. It then becomes much more difficult to track the troll's behavior. Not giving trolls gratification is generally the easiest way to get rid of them, although it can be frustrating waiting for them to give up and go away. > OJ is not closing.

Right on the money ,Sometimes I'd like to ban everyone LOL including myself.Good thing about this forum is mainly it's a bunch of playersthat have a chance to talk about anything as well as gear.You don't have to speak as if you're talking to Aunt Ednahere, that's a big plus.Posters like X are the harmless, IMO I skip his threads mostlybut occasionaly will read one, no big, sometimes they're funny,my choice, Amp Forum is ok as is.Thanks for cleaning up potential Virus threads, those arereal problems.

Members The Evil Dr. X Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 Originally posted by Zachman You forgot the most important component. He makes a lot of useless threads. Thanks for the positive contribution. Some of us have been here awhile longer than you, unless you've already been banned before, which I suspect. We would like to see less useless threads here in the amp forum. Posts for extranious crap belongs in another forum that exists for that. Is that clear enough for ya? For what it's worth, I'll keep the goofy threads to a minimum and stick to amp related threads. It's not ME bumping my old threads !!! Take a look .. you can thank Jerry_Kicker, BIG HAIR, Tweedbucket Jr. and other trolls that seem to think flooding the forum with my old threads is funny. I've PM'd the mods about it a few times already..... I've suggested they delete my backlog of Amp forum threads..... it's a shame because there are a few good ones in there like the amp guts thread ect..... I've addressed the offending thread bumpers about it already !http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1484840 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Evil Dr. X Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 Originally posted by Herald of Light Uh, but you are. What the hell is this thread if it's not a reply to his trolling? And the same with the bazillion other identical threads, which possibly outnumber the threads he made today. There are certainly more posts in them than his threads. This is what trolls thrive on. He was banned once, likely for trolling, and so he probably should be again. I actually am amazed he is still there. However, at this point, the blame does not lie SOLELY with him. Everyone keeps egging him on, and he hasn't been banned again after countless thread spammings to give him the message that he really should not do that at all, so what do you expect to happen? He sure as hell isn't going to just go away. You have to learn to live with that. dude, seriously you are not as retarded as you are making yourself out to be here ? ...... I've said it again and again and again ...... open your eyes and see who is bumping all my old threads ...... it's not me you nitwit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
