exactly. bunch of ing dykes in this forum.
Let's move for a legislation that actively smokes new Nou IPs out of their caves.
Direct all funding from TA Adsense into the anti-Nourrism Task Force.
Everyone is an alt. Trust No one.

JESUS CHRIST! I can’t even fathom the amount of time and energy you put forth into making different accounts so you can post on this website with your endless pile of bull. What in god’s name is wrong with you?? I mean other than the obvious. You are quite possibly the most pathetic and annoying I've ever come across.
Please, just do us all a favor and go play in traffic. |

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. |
I support him when he does good but he certainly deserved to be perma-banned for trying to take out TA. He did serve out his suspension for doing that, but I'm surprised that the only thing he was given for that issue was a suspension and not a perma-ban. Del ing hates him, but Nou has managed to get around everything Del put in place to keep him out.
He's managed to get around everything that's been put in place against him. What else would you propose Del do? I've been pushing for the longest time for Del to reinstate having to approve users before they're given posting privileges because not only would that more than likely eliminate the Nou issue but it would get rid of the influx of spammers we've had since Del removed approval for new users. For some reason, however, he decided to neglect that option even though it's the most logical choice.
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. |
