Someone tried to use my account!

This is what I suggest:

• Keep a log of the people you or the other mods ban and the reason. I require from all moderators to post at a specific thread who they banned, why and for how long. It also helps when a moderator is asked about a ban he did not place himself.

I'll send you the bill for this lesson later

mmm that's a good idea
although we rarely if ever ban users.
in fact all the users we have banned can be put down to 3 crazy people.

speaking of which one of them hasn't been around in a while hmmm

Just make a sticky thread in the moderator forum(you do have one, right?) and require all the moderators to post a reply each time somebody is banned.

The reply should include a link to the user profile, a link to the thread(if there was one) that the problem occured, the reason for the ban and the duration.

Right now if you ask any moderator here about a ban he will just have a look in that thread and let you know about it.

speaking of which one of them hasn't been around in a while hmmm

You might want to keep that in mind just in case.


Care to post a link to the forum?

Pretty much annoyed for those who tried to do that. Good suggestions from Lefteris_D.

Well, It doesn't seem like they will have any chance of getting in, because they aren't even using a bot yet which means they're amateurs.

"they" got into one of the user's accounts, however i get the feeling she was being targetted by someone she knew (her password was getfucked).

I bet it was one of those accounts?

We had such problems with some trolls here but after I banned a few IP ranges it all stopped. That was a few months ago.

You might want to remove or at least store those threads at another less visible location. By having them there you are just feeding the trolls...

Send me a PM that has your MSN. I have some files you may want to have along with a few more private tips.

Both of those threads are over 2 years old. Probably should get deleted.

both those threads were made in the last week, are you on drugs child?

also, don't tell me what should and shouldn't be deleted. i don't see why a 2 year old thread should be deleted?

its a very relaxed forum. we almost never close or delete threads. this is the way we like it, we don't like to overmoderate.

no offence to lefty, but if we ran that forum the way lefty runs this one, we'd all be bashed up. we all know each other irl...

I never said anything about censoring your users or overmoderating but if you really think that's a bad idea then don't do it. It was a simple suggestion. However, keep in mind that feeding the trolls is by far one of the worst things somebody can do.

If you can't do that you can at least tell your users that have Firefox to use this extension.

Edit: Also visit the links I PM'd you.
