Kyle91 AKA How to increase your ignore list

[Kyle91]

I dont know whether to laugh or cry!
You worry about his "low quality post count" and that he might look suspicious?

And this: "Still I didn't call for a ban, I just asked if such worthlessness was authorized here" .....

Like WTF.. with all the known spammers, scammers, suckpuppets etc. you worry about this guy?!

And a staff member responding with: "because you're spamming up the forum with useless posts" "quit strawmaning. answer the damn question."

Well then start moderating!

Allow me to post from another thread:

So you describe a problem, ask for help on solutions...

and the resulting 11 pages that follow are the same problems you describe: vendor hate, people calling people whatever, people talking off topic, with some genuinely trying to address the OP's issue, and etc.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or condescending or any of that, just an honest question:  If you really wanted to change this, why don't you just "moderate"?  you know, like your title says.  Use your common sense/best discretion.  If someone starts bashing BFL in the KNC thread, tell them to stay on topic.  If someone calls someone a whatever tell them to keep it civil.  If Josh calls his customers a moron cuz they want their money back for an undelivered product, tell him to act professional.  If people refuse, just ban them for a bit?  I don't know...

Or don't.  It's up to you.  Just that most of the other forums I goto, this is what the "moderator" tends to do.


I love this forum.

Get to it Staff!

So are staff getting anywhere with this thread or did it die in offtopic?

Yes it died on the first page ...

... then why do we even bother..... :/

Don't get me wrong, if I were the admin I'd ban his ass.
The point is I know that it's not how the moderation works here, so I just tried to make mods aware of this to have their opinion of this kind of things.

By the way, I report spammers and scammers. Not sockpuppets as they are officially authorized.

there are certain hero members spouting nonsense all day and nothing happened to them yet

And I don't think it's a good thing
Trolling, off-topic posting and one-sentence long posts could be tolerated IMO. But if every single post is in any of those three categories then why keeping the guy?

Here i am sitting on my comfortable chair typing a one sentence. Oh look, now it is two sentences! Wait a minute, now it's three sentences! *GASP*

Lol okay why not just track his ip address and track mine? Then theres proof.

[Kouye]

Kyle91. You lost. Try again, or not.
Keep in mind the awareness is growing, and scamming is becoming harder and harder, around here.

Have you heard of 'proxies'?

I propose posts being marked as useless/ no content. If a user accumulates enough of these they lose rank, the posts should also not count under the regular postcount.

There needs to be a system where a post has some sort of classification.

No-one can be a true hero member if all they posted was 1000 posts in the newbie section saying "hello" over a 6 month long period of time.

This is serious flaw in this forum's ranking system, one that needs to be fixed.

He's the town greeter. You've got one in every RPG.

It's not a very high priority; the rank system is more for vanity than anything.

Funny how i am being accused of something i am not. Great how this forum works

It's used to avoid the posting limits actually
I'd prefer mute the user for 1 week though
