Forum Rule Changes including Introduction of Infraction System

This. We're not going to protect the identity of someone like that, FFS.

Can I ask whose VM walls that guy posted on? It may help narrow down the potential culprits.

vBulletin doesn't let you see who's been posting on whose wall so it's possible they've posted on more, but AFAIK it was just yours and Martyn's. Would rather this thread doesn't descend into speculation over who it was, though.

Heath, we actually can't tell on who's wall he/she posted on through a report or something. As far as I know, at least on yours and GIMH since you both reported the VM's. However, even if we could get a complete list of people that were targeted, I don't think that constitutes any level of concrete evidence as to who the culprit is. I would not want names thrown around without solid evidence.

Edit: Or what Andy said.

Well, yes, circumstantial evidence I guess, but if I was a betting man and there was an option at the TAB on this one, I know who'd be earning my shiny dollar bet.

is this the username QueenAlex?

He sent me a nice message as well.

Nothing unusual though, every now and again some random member will send me a sling of abusive messages.

 

[GIMH]

Are you suggesting we know who that was and are choosing to keep it secret? Seriously? That was a multi of someone sick, and he/she was banned as soon as you reported the VM. Not much else we can do about it. Not everything is a conspiracy.

This. We're not going to protect the identity of someone like that, FFS.

no I'm suggesting it wouldn't have taken much t reply saying 'we don't know who it is sorry'

Its not ****ing hard is it?

But obviously I'm making an issue out of nothing

 

[Burgey]

Yeah I got a couple of tasty QueenAlex messages. I just want to know who it is so I can return serve.

 

[GotSpin]

I always wonder why GIMH doesn't have more infraction points...conspiracy IMO

Cheers, have deleted it.

I'm honestly confused about how you're upset with us about this. When someone signs up and just hurls that sort of abuse, we're not going to waste time to figure out who it is; we're going to ban them. For the large majority of people who sign up and do that sort of thing, we have no idea who it is. If we did, we'd let you know, but it's silly expecting us to constantly say 'Poster X has been banned, btw we don't know who it is.'

FFS, the bloke got around.

 

[Adamc]

He (GIMH) asked if you knew who it was though, and didn't get a response. Bit different.

 

[GIMH]

I'm only upset that you ignored my question. Would it have been hard to say 'dunno sorry'?

Why do people get worked up over small stuff like this.

 

[GIMH]

If you saw what was posted on my wall perhaps you would understand

Having had the contents relayed to me you certainly would understand if you read it, the more so if you're a parent - gimh has been pretty restrained in the circumstances

New troll on the block. Names Valthaty. Take him out!

 

[Spark]

Haha that one is bizarre. It's as if he's going through the "my first racist insult" class and is slowly learning the ropes.

I don't even feel angry reading his VMs. He is hilariously bad tbh.

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah I got three messages from him
