Admin/Mods: Please ban "jvanname"

[philipma1957]

The account has been deliberately provocative for far too long and not only that, he is a troll who quite clearly has given up on trying to utilise the account via a signature campaign and has resorted to making a nuisance of himself because he has far too much free time on hand.

On top of that, he is misusing the name of someone who does not even know his name is being used in such a manner to create the fiasco in the first place.

I second the motion. Having a retard like that who keeps opening stupid threads while boasting about his supposed superiority because of his supposed PhD does not bring anything good to the forum.

Well whatever the mods and theymos wants, but honestly I feel empathy and sorrow for him as he is an obviously very unhappy person.

I've steered clear from interacting with this user as its pretty apparent they're a psycho troll and there's nothing that can be gained from such interaction. However, I do believe this person has always had this account and is behind their failed coin.

What our friend fails to grasp is that crypto projects are largely community-driven efforts. If there is no good leadership or sense of community, nobody will want to be part of the project, and thus it is doomed to fail. This rule still exists for coins with an overwhelming degree of technical merit.

While our friend may be mathematically brilliant, he is obviously hobbled by a complete lack of social skills and a profound stubbornness that inhibits his project's success. Unable to make this realization, he has chosen violence, blaming what appears to be the entire world for his self-induced failure.

He's far from being the only broken soul wandering the forum, however, and until he makes specific threats, banning him would go against the standard by which similar trolls are treated.

Why should he be banned? he just has different thoughts than most of the other members. I think everyone has their own thoughts and we have to respect them even though I also don't agree with what he wrote because maybe he is a narcissist.

No one has suggested that he should be banned because of a different opinion or the way he expresses it. But even free speech got limits. We can argue issues without getting all kinds of nasty and violent about it. The admins and mods are the ones who gotta decide where to draw the line when someone goes too far. And it seems this particular fella has crossed it before since they already banned him once and  can't say I blame them for bringing down the hammer again, maybe for good this time.

Here are a few specific examples:

All of you fuckers are fucking stupid and worthless pieces of shit who deserve to suffer and die in the next pandemic.

That just convinces me that people like you deserve to @#$%ing die in the next pandemic.

And when people f@#$ing die from the next pandemic, they will f@#$ing deserve it. They will all go to HELL when they die. And they will f@#$ing deserve that too.

Until universities apologize, they deserve the violence because they are evil. Nobody should shed any tears for the f***ers who were shot and killed at Michigan State University until universities acknowledge that promoting violence against me is very bad. Because those tears are extremely offensive. There should not be a single flower at their funerals because universities promote violence and are incredibly evil.

I'm open to hearing why you think letting that kind of toxic stuff slide is good for this community. But seems to me this community is better off without it.

So 3 people in 11 years and 40,000 plus posts is pretty good record.

A very nice record. Besides, I will like this record more than a flawless one. 90% positive and 10% negative should show that the carrier is a realist and not an online ass hole manipulating the system to his favour.

I had a perfect record on ebay till someone gave me a neutral .  that was from 2003 to 2022 and over 2000 buys and sells.

I work at it, but you can't please all the people all the time.

While buying online, be it stores or exchanges, I do not trade with someone with 100% reputation record. From 88% to 95% is ok for me. I consider them the uninfluenced true representation of reputation.

Just to be sure, if he gets banned, what's the assurance that he won't create another account and continue what he's doing here? Asides from him acting like the universe stole his birthright, I've really not had any other issues with him. For me, he's just like a grumpy entertainer who's actually good at what he does and I quite agree with @Vod's suggestion to handle the matter.

Evading ban isn't allowed on this forum. So if that happens, he might feel frustrated seeing his alt account got banned or nuked (where all of his thread/post also deleted). And it seems he always include name and degree title on end of the post.

Okay, but I don't think people like him will get frustrated if their Alt accounts get banned or message gets deleted. If anything, it will seem like fun for him as it will look like another way to annoy the higher powers. For me, I feel he's becoming important by the number of responses he's getting. I feel that putting him on ignore will save one the trouble of always getting to see the nuisance he constitutes.

[JollyGood]

He is quite clearly a troubled individual not only for the fact that he has conducted himself at extremely disappointing levels for trolling and inflaming but also because he using (or misusing) the name of someone without their consent or permission. He has been doing it for quote some time. At some point it seemed light entertainment but gradually his instability became obvious.

Well whatever the mods and theymos wants, but honestly I feel empathy and sorrow for him as he is an obviously very unhappy person.

[mikeywith]

so I know crazy when I am faced with it.
 I usually do not bother trying to fix it. I tend to let it be.

Exactly, anyone who knows what crazy is would see it in this "doctor." I feel bad for him. I believe the problem isn't only him; it's also those who keep arguing with him in an attempt to win an argument, which isn't even remotely possible. The more you argue with him, the more aggressive he gets. People need to understand that he is "sick," and sick people need help. You don't help him by cursing him, not by banning him either perhaps. The best help we could offer said doctor IMHO would be to ignore him.

[nakamura12]

I don't think that this forum member either a fake identity or not shouldn't be banned unless that forum member violated a forum rules that the consequences are getting banned then that forum member should get banned but if did not break any at all but his/her actions are suspicious or seems fishy then I'd say that this person should get negative trust. A negative trust or negative feedback should be the first thing to do until that person proves who he is.

That's why he got a temporary ban for those remarks. If you still come across such statements in the same spirit from this user, you can send reports. At least in the sections where I am a moderator.

[JollyGood]

I had no idea the account was ever banned for any reason. As stated earlier, he has been excessively provocative and has posted profanities on many occasions as well as pretending to be someone he is not and is impersonating someone without their consent. Can you please clarify, is the "jvanname" account currently banned?

No, jvanname's account is not currently banned. His temporary ban has long since expired and, as far as I know, this account has not received any more bans. At least, not yet. That's why I ask, if anyone notices his posts with specific calls for violence, to report it.

[mrust_mobile]

Well, you should be thankful you are not me, deserving 1 tag per week. 😒 now imagine how ph.D would feel, no friends, a totally dead coin that nobody buys or mines, posts getting deleted, everyone attacking him, having the delusion of being a math ph.D, and on top of that getting banned. I kind of feel his pain.

Life is all about making comebacks diggy. You only lose when you stop playing. That said;

“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

[JollyGood]

I was not aware he had been banned in the past but at least a precedent has been set as far his account in concerned. I will report him if I see him behaving using threatening language or in any manner which could be deemed as counter-productive to the forum. After that, it will be a matter for admin or moderators to make a decision as to whether he should be banned again.

I like it, we are on a first name basis now! 🤣
I have noticed ever since this lunatic threatened my "supporters" I haven't got any of my questions answered, not to mention that people stopped meriting me. I guess I'll have to suck it up. At least it's better than having the next vaccine in the butt. You never know, he could be locked up in a secret lab underground cooking the next pandemic whatnot. Once I visited an exchange listing his dead coin, I wanted to check it out, then I realized there are massive sell orders starting from 1 sat per unit, and there was not a single trade history ever. You have to understand, working so hard to build a blockchain just to realize it's a worthless piece of garbage, it can break anyone.

He seriously needs medical help, the mandatory kind of help but nobody cares to report him to the authorities. Psycho ward is a good place for him to start.

I have personally intarected with this user and must agree his ideas and ways of thinking are pretty much irrational, though I am not sure yet whether we are dealing with an over-exaggeraged troll or a very mentally sick individual, he is probably the former but I cannot really tell.
He has his own thread in the Reputation section where he alledges I attack him because I am evil and a Nazi (or something among those lines).

Either way, I do not believe someone is supposed to be banned from this forum based only on the things they write, it would take us to be sure he is actually trolling or he personally threating with physical violence against a forum member for the Administration to have a valid reason to issue a permanent ban, in my opinion. In the mean time, I guess it will be enough for him to stop posting here as often as usual if enough people ignore him.

In the case we are dealing with a mentally ill person, it baffles me he is yet to be given the mental attention he needs, perhaps it would have something to do with the fact he seems to be from the USA?

[JollyGood]

According to the staff (here and here) the "jvanname" account had already received a temporary ban and the reason given was threatening behaviour.

If moderators believe his conduct was sufficient enough to deserve a ban than I would not debate that point of view. He does not seem to be of the character that will go away if he is ignored, it seems he is going out of his way to be as obnoxious as possible and I think one of the motivations is because he is not the person he claims to be and is deliberately misusing the name for reasons not yet known.

If impersonating a person is not sufficient reason for a ban then his threatening conduct will hopefully get him banned again.

The moderators and administrators of the forum will not be in the business of finding out who owns the account. You understand that. Therefore, in order for global moderators or administrators to take any action, you need solid evidence from a third party that the user is using someone else's name.

I won't debate the moderators' decisions, though. I trust they have done the right call, in this occasion.
He probably will come back again and continue to misbehave as usual, whichs makes me wonder who many temporary bans will get issued against him before he is permanently kicked out.
For some reason, I have the hunch he is the kind of person who would not care to engage in ban evasion and multiple times and uncover himself eventually by his obvious speech and behavior. The fact signs all his posts is a clue he has not come here to keep a low profile whatsoever and will certainly not start if he tries to evade a ban.

I believe it would also depend on the use and the intent someone has with using the such name. For example, someone here would register as Michael Jackson for their username,  someone who we all know is dead, that itself would not be malicious, it could be just be a huge fan of his music.
On the other hand, if that person claimed to be the real MJ, then one would need to wonder whether it could be classified as a parody or actual identity theft, since no reasonable people could get scammed or gotten advantage of from such a stupid scheme.

When comes to people who is alive and they would be trying to pose as them, then it would be different.

I'm not sure if he is who he claims to be, likely not IMO. The guy seems to need some serious professional help though. I also think a guy who supposedly has a PhD would take the time to read the forum and learn how the place works. Maybe learn how to use the trust system if he is going to partake in using it. Banning him is useless IMO as it's just as easy to ignore him.
