Originally posted by idoru The only other options available outside of that are to either contact his ISP and have them warn him, or blanket-ban the ISP. The latter occurred in this case, so they've accomplished what they set out to do. Really my main gripe with this issue is the method they used.

The problem with this method (and IP-targeted solutions in general) is twofold:

1. You risk blocking legitimate users and
2. It's still easily bypassed using proxies.

Outside of placing restrictions on registration and therefore access, there is no way to prevent a savvy enough user from returning.

Since an IP-targed method isn't going to be effective anyway, and it may cause "collateral damage" then it is the very definition of a poorly conceived solution.

idoru: it be a mistake to admire his "ingenuity", its not that difficult to hid your ip. forums are vulnerable to this type of abuse and there isn't much admins can do to prevent it. ppl like you are the ones really to blame because you think he's not that bad and keep responding and encouraging him. i agree that new accounts should be subject to admin approval. i guess del doesn't want to go through all the trouble because of one douchebag.

if you really wanted to put a stop to this you'd send del his home and work info so we could contact both hand have his isp accounts suspended.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm not "admiring his ingenuity" because an eleven year-old can do what he did. I'm simply pointing out that he circumvented everything Del put in place and was asking what else Del could've done to keep him out.

And the approval system doesn't need to be put in place because of one person. It could've prevented the recent deal with Radagast and it would certainly cut down on the number of spammers we've been receiving.

hi. who is del?


from what i am reading, he is a mod but what is his screen name on here? is it coup?

go to a language translation site like www.freetranslation.com and "Translate" this site. Easier than all your guys' stuff

Originally posted by igottaknow For Nou apologists: Imagine you ran a forum. A member repeatedly broke the rules and tried to blackmail you with shutting down your site. When you suspended his account, instead of serving out his suspension he would come back under alt accounts. When you deleted or try to stop this type of action he'd use a proxy to hide his identity. Do you really think Del should welcome him back and let by gones be by gones? Because you know that if Nou broke the rules in the future he'd just do the same thing that he's doing now. But I'm sure you and he must feel he's the victim not TA and the mods who have to spend countless hours dealing with this prick.

well put.

IGK, droppin' knowledge.

TR00F!

most thoughtful and truthful post by IGK in TA history

Nou wanted me to post this. It explains what happened, if you don't already know. He mostly wanted me to post it because he wants IGK to see it. Take what you will from it just don't take it out on me, I'm just the messenger (and this'll be the only time I act as such).
