funny way to deal with annoying posters

[Kemal]

Someone should ask the admin of the site to install this:

"Miserable users" (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=93258)

Here is a 3.5 version of the ever popular "miserable users" hack. Basically a way to really annoy anyone you don't want visiting your forum. Based on the original idea & hack for vb2 by Zzed, and the vb3 port by KuraFire.

When classed as miserable, a member suffers ;

1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).
3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).
4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).
7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.

Note: All the above options are set in the vBulletin Options.

To install this hack simply download the xml file to your pc and then import it into vbulletin as a product - then create your 'miserable users' usergroup and set the value of this group, and your preferred other settings, in the hacks settings area (vBulletin Oprions > Miserable Users). To make a member suffer just edit their profile to add them to the miserable users group (it will work as either the primary group or as a secondary group).

Awesome idea...If only anyone would even care enough to consider it

[Haunted]

Brilliant, Kemal. You very well might be a hero. However, The mods will have to get Horror's attention, propably via human sacrifice or something, get him to install the program, and then give them access to it. He may get around to that within the next four years.

[alkytrio666]

That would be awesome!

[stubbornforgey]

LOL..good idea

[stygianwitch]

Don't we wish the mods could this....... if only

[Haunted]

It's all up to Horror...

Hmm...

Hey, Rayne and Zwoti, do you think if started bugging Horror now about Kemal's wonderous findings... will he listen? I mean, this isn't asking a whole lot from. All he'd have to do is load the program and give you the keys. Surely he can do that for us.

Austin told me that he's going to be back in a week to two weeks, so... We might even be able to replace banning. I mean, this is almost like...torture. You don't force them to leave... You drive them mad!

Something has to to be done. It seems like we get a new asshole every other day around here.Its making this site virtually un-postable....esp. the "General Forum".

Personally, I think the mods need to be stricter. Trolls are easy to spot, warn them once and ban 'em. On top of that, I think we need at least one if not two more mods so there is more chance of one being online at any given time.

[zwoti]

there was a good phpbb mod where members could be "imprisoned" until released by a jury

[bloodrayne]

I've always believed that the best (easiest) way to 'deal with' a problem that obviously can't be solved...is to eliminate it

That was why I got divorced :D

[Haunted]

Thank you guys for banning the son of a bitch. It gives us some respite from the total bullshit. Maybe we'll come up with a plan during this interlude. As I told Zwoti one day, I don't think this should always fall on the moderators. We should try to come up with some sadistically creative ways of dealing with these ass-clowns

[alkytrio666]

So, calculating the average amount of time between assholes, we have about a day.

I guess it takes him about a day to think of a new screen name, a new 'character portrayal' (this last one was 'Redneck, Homophobe, Bigot') and register again...

[The_Return]

So do we know for sure that its all the same guy? Or is it just educated speculation?

Im not going anywhere with this...just curious.

[bloodrayne]

So do we know for sure that its all the same guy? Or is it just educated speculation?

Im not going anywhere with this...just curious.Well...There are several things that would point in that direction...Loader, HotLoadShooter, Renob and Angry Dragon were DEFINITELY the same guy, they said the exact same things (replacing cum with shit, etcetera, but STILL the exact same comments), responded the same way to several movies, admitted that he was 'playing characters to piss people off', each sn registered just as the last was banned (within minutes for Loader/Renob)...AND...There just aren't that many people (enough for a new one to show up at the same place as soon as the last is banned) who are so stupid, immature, and pathetic as to come to a forum and do this shit...


So, we've got ONE relentless retard...and/or NOW a very bored copy cat...


Either way...If it looks like a dick, walks like a dick, and talks like a dick......Umm...Yeah...

[The_Return]

From a PM that he sent me:

I seen renob on here an that motherfucker was fuckin funny!

Could prove either point just as easily.

[bloodrayne]

From a PM that he sent me:



Could prove either point just as easily.Well...That's another point...With each new screen name, he ALWAYS refers to and comments on the posts of the last...A little odd for a 'NEW' member...So, you're right...Could be him or someone pretending to be him...But, we don't need or want EITHER here...So, it doesn't really matter

[Despare]

Seems to alway pm members too... at random. I got pms from renob, bigloader, and (I already forget the name) the guy who said he was cool and played basketball.

[Doc Faustus]

Maybe it's not all the same guy. Maybe there's some sort of alien hivemind involved or he's like that guy in Fallen. I can't fathom each of these people who go on forums to be disruptive having their OWN brain.

Is there a section for suggesting site improvements?

[stygianwitch]

Is there a section for suggesting site improvements?

You could try the site suggestions/questions forum or PM/e-mail Horror but i doubt it will do much good, if the mods can't get through to him we've got no chance :(

[bloodrayne]

Is there a section for suggesting site improvements?
Yes there is, but it's pretty much been turned into a 'games' forum because it isn't of much use for anything else...

It's the suggestion box with a hole in the bottom of it, that's been placed above a garbage can

[Despare]

by the way - here's a great way to deal with annoying posters.
especially the ones with multiple personality disrders

You talk about NASCAR and gun loving hat wearing rednecks all the time... yet you have pictures...

You're a closet redneck! ;)

[Despare]

A shame really...

[Master]
