View Full Version : Blocking the Stupid Spammer
Just a question - I know some boards have the ablity to block IP addresses to prevent the type of activity that one particuler knucklehead has decided to do.
Can you block this individual from being able to register his attacks on Beriut with his flooding of new registered members?

Hmm it should be possible to block someone's IP adress, if that is what you
They did that with Brutal_Dictatorship AKA Horsarcher ( he had various accounts )some time ago.
So yes it could be done.

Clayton has nothing to do with it - refrain from making accusations if you do not know what is going on.

Can you block this individual from being able to register his attacks on Beriut with his flooding of new registered members?If he's using a static IP, sure. If he's on dynamic dialup, you'd have to ban the whole band (including anyone else with the same ISP), and if he's using anonymous proxies you'd have to block entire lists of unrelated addresses. So it's not always that easy.

I really doubt he cares,
ive known him for many years, And some 1 must have aggravated him severely to provoke this reaction.
he contributed lots to the forum, And because of 1 mod who decided it was ok to be racist about french people but not Black people,
And who started to throw personal insults about his spelling and grammar. this situation has occurred.
I know of Many people "who will remain nameless," That do not agree with the Underhanded methods of this assistant mod.,
And I am shure that this Assistant mod Will cause Situations like this in the future,
As for ShambleS,
I doubt he will stop until an apology is issued by the Assistant moderator in question,
And theres no point asking me to talk to him,
because I doubt he will listen.
Good post, Trisha Akechi.:bow:
And some 1 must have aggravated him severely to provoke this reaction.
Indeed. He doesn't get angry like this soon.
he contributed lots to the forum, And because of 1 mod who decided it was ok to be racist about french people but not Black people,
And who started to throw personal insults about his spelling and grammar. this situation has occurred.
AM starts with the insult. >> Insulted patron comments on it, and insults the mod in return. >> Insulted patron get's banned. While the AM gets no warning for his own insult.
As for ShambleS,
I doubt he will stop until an apology is issued by the Assistant moderator in question. And theres no point asking me to talk to him,
because I doubt he will listen.
Totally right again.
I know staff wants us to give the 'stupid spammer' no attention. But I will, as he is my friend. If I go to frontroom, start a new thread saying certain person is an 'Asshole', I will receive 1 warning point, the thread will get closed and I will have to apologize. If he does the same to a moderator(after being insulted), he gets banned. Isn't that a bit... twisted?
Anways, this post is not insulting at all. I am only saying that I disagree with how staff acted. If I do receive a warning for this, I don't mind. I'll leave then anyway.
(I'm breaking my own rules here. Shmuck that I am.)
First off, I told Shambles he had to remove a joke about black people that I found, IMHO, to be racist. There were also posted complaints as well as PM complaints about the "black joke"
Shambles took it down.
I was then berated with PMs by Shambles saying there were blonde jokes and that they should have to be removed since he had to remove his. I disagreed, saying there is no connection between blonde jokes and racist black jokes. My opinion only, but it was my call to make. I received no other complaints at all about the blonde jokes.
Shambles disagreed and re-posted the racist "black joke".
I told Shambles he was fully entitled to take his case to BKS or Tosa if he disagreed with me but until one of the chief mods gave him the OK, the "black joke" would have to be remain edited out. I told him that ignoring a staff edit request was a warning point offence, even during an appeal of an edit to the senior staff.
He refused to edit because I refused to remove the blonde jokes. He said he would rather get the warning points then take orders from me. I'm not sure, but I think a mod gave him two warning points for this. The blonde jokes were removed as well by the senior staff after Shambles complained. The French army joke (which was mentioned only after several PMs about only the blonde jokes), was removed as well.
Then started a series of "you're a retard" PMs from Shambles to me. I wrote back that I appreciated his attentions, and that the spelling of his "retard" PMs was less than perfect. Was I snarky? Yes. But in the face of the ongoing "retard" PMs I remained polite. The politeness seems to have upset him and then I received a series of hacker threat PMs to myself and the Org. as a whole, PMs saying I was posted on the Org. map (posts which contained pornographic pictures), and that the Org. would be attacked by multiple false accounts and spam attacks.
These PMs, all copied and registered, were available to the senior staff for review.
The Org. is now being spammed with false accounts, pornographic pictures, and hate threads. I'm not accusing anyone and I haven't mentioned anyone's name nor will I. All I have asked is that the attacks be ignored.

No matter what happened posting stuff like that and attempting to hack is not the way to do things, it just shows your immaturity and inability to handle situations. Post a complaint in the watchtower if you fell strongly about an injustice, posting crap takes away any case you have. Although I must say Beruit is not a bad mod in any way.
Beirut,
First, thank you for your detailed reply.

The French army joke (which was mentioned only after several PMs about only the blonde jokes), was removed as well.
Sorry Beirut, but in my interpretation of forum rules(I hope that is correct) I really think you acted wrong. I agree with him that all 'jokes' should've been removed. And I can think of another patron which wouldn't delete his own misplaced 'joke' if others wouldn't have to do the same. me So I disagree with the 1st 2 warning points given to him.
Then started a series of "you're a retard" PMs from Shambles to me.
This part of it I hadn't found out, sorry. I can imagine that Shambles was angry because of the warnings point given to him. (for no good reason, at least in his eyes and mine) But this is of course wrong. For this he deserved some warnings, ok.
I wrote back that I appreciated his attentions, and that the spelling of his "retard" PMs was less than perfect. Was I snarky? Yes. But in the face of the ongoing "retard" PMs I remained polite.
This is what you've done wrong, in my opinion. Please think of a while ago, when some guy created numerous insulting and nonsense threads. Think of how Papewaio reacted to that... Ignoring it and alerting TosaInu would've been the right thing to do I think. It disappoints me to hear that you returned an insult instead of that... :embarassed:
The politeness seems to have upset him and then I received a series of hacker threat PMs to myself and the Org. as a whole, PMs saying I was posted on the Org. map (posts which contained pornographic pictures), and that the Org. would be attacked by multiple false accounts and spam attacks.
I thought first Shambles' account was banned and then he created new ones with which he posted such things... is that right? but he did 'warn' you with his original account, if I'm correct... I can imagine that he was very upset by your note and got angry at the entire world for a while... but of course what he did/is doing is inexcusable and now things can't be turned back anymore.
But when he does he obviously loses any sense for proportion...
I'm afraid so... I'm unpleasantly surprised by this...
Anyways sorry for my words in italics in my last post. I still feel the same way but I shouldn't have said 'if I get a warning, I'll leave'. :embarassed:

I know. You're right. But I'm not complaining about the staff action after he 'went crazy', but their action before that.
and 'The_Stranger'... no matter if complained about it or not, racist jokes are always wrong of course.
Drisos,
Thank you for your reply as well.
I'm not only not perfect, I'm far from perfect. This means my Modding is less than perfect as well. Obviously I am going to make mistakes. That's what the senior staff is there for. I not only suggested Shambles take his case to BKS and Tosa, I encouraged him to.
I've been spanked by the senior staff before and I will be again. If I make a mistake I am bound to follow their rules just like everyone else.
But to threaten the entire Org. as Shambles did (I have the registered PMs to prove it) is not only out of line, but hurts everyone here, not just me.
Off to work. Ciao.
:bow:

Only I'm afraid Shambles might have only gotten some warnings but wouldn't have been banned if you wouldn't have replied to his PM charge... But that's just an 'If...' Now senior staff had to ban him because he 'went crazy' after your pm...

As far as I know you've been a good moderator in frontroom.

I know, I know. If he'd hack the .org, I would be devastated too. I really invested a lot into STW forums and it would be a shame to see 6 years of the community's traces just disappear.

I dont go into commenting the reasons for Shambles rage,but this is too much from him.Hell why would someone be so otraged about a deleting a joke.This is just plain stupid.:shame:
It is indeed ridiculous, and another ridiulous poster as of late is the poster who has been wanting to post in other forums but has instead just built up into a rage and outbursted foul language into the Hail! New members thread. I tried calming down the individual by informing him/her to when you will become a member etc. but he/she seemed to just ignore me and try and insult me instead. It's not that I'm bothered, just informing the community. ~:)
Kagemuscha,
(Sorry for off-topic note): Great sig!! :bow:
back on topic:
Why would someone be so outraged about a deleting a joke?
I think you don't really understand. - Shambles received two warning points because he refused to edit out the 'joke', because others also made racist jokes and didn't have to edit. He got mad and sent several crap PM's to Beirut, which on his turn made an insult back to Shambles about his spelling and grammar. After all that, Shambles became so outraged. Of course to do such things is still wrong, but it explains (a bit) why he did it.
Anyways I'll miss him.

i know racist jokes are wrong but it didnt seemed racist to me, but said again i'm used to some serious insults (like: someone was annoying me, so i painted his face black with a marker, the guy totally flipped went to wash his face clean and he thanked me while saying: thanx, now i know how it is to be a slave like you, i ignored him and he he said it again: i know how it feels to be shit...and i choked him ~;) but i usually return them with a smile and i some occassions (like this) with my boot in their face
thats why shambles joke didnt seemed very racist to me, i actually thought it was funny but the new case is beyond me
My apologies, it was meant as a joke

I think it's great that Beirut took the time to tell his side of things. I think it's great that patrons share their perspectives with consideration and tact. I regret that such a situation has occurred, but realize that we all have our moments, our days, sometimes weeks, months, years ... .
My hope is that, in time, the parties involved will be able to forgive, make peace, and move along--continuing to make this "place" interesting and fun. When considering someone who has "acted up," I think we should remember the flip side and consider the person's contributions. There are consequences for actions; ideally they should be proportional to the "crime."
Peace, brothers: deep breath, chug-a-lug, puff puff, KIAI! ... whatever. Peace.
Well at least the posts he made have been moderated. ~:)

Shmuck that I am.Not at all, dear chap. Competent amateurs such as yourself can and should never be blamed for excessive rambunctiousness on the part of the virtual lower classes. The game is clearly afoot and one appreciates your frankness in the matter. My footman has been instructed to bring my gun and to stay by my side at all times just in case, causing the womenfolk of Madame Cherry's to giggle and stare aghast at him during my habitual nightly visit. Needless to say, if things heat up and incidents get the better of you, I will offer you lunch at my club.
Tata! :toff:
My dearest AdrianII,
Your words, as always, are tonic to my wounded soul. Not merely in meaning but in form as well.
I will therefore on your behalf make this apology to Shambles.
___________________________________________________
Shambles,
Though I thought I was in the right concerning the situation with the "black joke", it is obvious that my manners, and perhaps discretion, could have been better and the somewhat insulting tone in some of my PMs was contrary to the rules of the Org. and the standards of the staff. For this, I apologize.
It is the members of the Org. who rank first in importance, and the staff should bear this in mind at all times.

And Im Just here to say that i Am sorry As well,
And just to make things clear,
I had no disputes about the warning points I receved Or my banning Those were Perfectly legitemate corses of action,
My appology has to be Directly to beriut
And I dont really imagine it will be accepted,
Never the less.
I am sorry for any problems I may have caused you Or if Offended you,
To all org Patrons, "sorry I got a bit angry"
And to tosainu " Sorry bout that"
This is Usualy where id Post All the Multiple reasons That Accumilated to Agrivate me in this manner,
The only thing i can say is.
"I wish Id never said (DONT BAN ME FOR THIS 1 IL DELETE IT IF I OFFEND ANY 1)"

I am willing to accept your apology to me personally. The people I work with say worse to me before my first cup of coffee each morning.
What you did to the Org. however is an entirely different matter. Though it is not up to me to accept your apology to the senior staff, if it was, my gut instinct would be to ban your ass from here permanently. You offended every single member here, from the guy with one post right up to the forum administrators. You made threats against people who did nothing to you and it is bloody inexcusable.
Honestly, I'm not sure how you can properly apologize for what you did. But if you admit to Tosa, by PM if you wish, every single thing you did, all of it, I will offer my opinion that we overlook the past few days.

I Probably wouldnt let my self Back in.
What i wanted Was for you to acknowlage Your lack of tack in certain acepcts of your modding,
And i think banning me for My uniqe processes of doing so Is probably the Only corse of action,.
"if exeptions are made More may follow suit"
But i doubt i will be far away from this forum,
Its the place where my server and tourny are advertized :).
So i try to send people here lol. So il probably be in the shaddows some where,
But i wont be holding my breath for geting my account un banned.
Anyone who stands up like a man and accepts responsibility for his actions deserves at least some respect.

I think I can understand why you got angry, but to be honest I totally don't understand why you did 'these things'. It scares me a bit but I have no intention to let this change our friendship. It's good to hear the stw server will be up, because the stw community will have a big enough loss by your absence from the stw forums here.

There is an informal policy that if you ignore or threaten an Assistant Moderator the Moderators will slap you with a warning far higher then if you had directly attacked the Moderator.
For instance I would give a 2 point warning in the Entrance Hall to an attack on a Assisstant Moderator while the same action might get a series of village people smilies or suggestive ones to an attack directly at myself.
=][=
Shambles I suggest that your penance should be
1) Telling us where any other pornographic pictures might be hiding on the Org.
2) Removing any text that is insultive.
3) Have your post count reset to zero. / New Account. As a symbol of a new start.
It will be up to Tosa Inu-sama to see if you are welcome back.
But till then a preemptive ~:cheers: and ~:grouphug:
I am still of the opinion that Shambles can repair the situation, but only after a complete admission to Tosa of every single transgression that resulted from this incident. Nothing less will suffice. Any prevarication whatsoever and it's a no-go.
After that, Papewaio's suggestion of a new account would suffice.
What Shambles did, IMHO, was an insulting and serious breach of the rules that offended every member of the Org. However, redemption is always available to those who stand up and take responsibility for their actions.
The decision, of course, is up to Tosa.

Holy crap! I've been away for a while, just got back...
I have to say this is pretty shocking news & doesn't sound like the ShambleS I knew & spoke too - I can understand why he got so angry, yet I can also understand why he was banned...
There must be more to it than this, or something, either way it's a real shame to lose such a valuable member of the forums, shame it ended this way huh...
...Shambles I suggest that your penance should be
1) Telling us where any other pornographic pictures might be hiding on the Org...
~;) Hmm...
Before the penance is decided upon, if one is possible, I'd like to throw in that not everyone on this board was affected. I saw no pr0n, no popups and vulgarities before there was a thread about the new names involving "Beruit (sic)". Even if that is only me, it's the truth.

Papewaio
10-27-2005, 09:31
Every moderator is an individual and they can respond as they like.
Just is an informal habit that if a member attacks the assistant moderators the moderator responsible for that forum will hit back harder.
Think of it this way, the assistant moderators are the cops, the moderators district judges and Tosa the Supreme Court and offical light dimmer (electric chair).
Most systems have it that if you attack a cop who is on the beat then you will get treated more harshly by the judges as it is not only an attack on the individual but an attack on society.

It has been done in the past when patrons or staff have done something wrong they have reset their post count to zero. And normally changed the name or added something to it. It is an outwards sign of change, hopefully reflecting an inner one.

Fact of the matter is.
I broke the rules, The offences were bannable. And I accept that,
Id love to have MY account back,
But im not gonna worry about it.
I had an argument with an asistant mod, I Stand by what the argument was origionaly about,
And I still say That he needs A lot of work on his social skills.
Being able to debate a point rationaly with out resorting to insulting grammer or attempting to patronize people would have been a start.
All i did was to show him if he can be an Ass then so can I.
But I can be A MUCH bigger ass if i chose to be.
Those who know me Know im not a bad guy,
I help people when i can, I do my bit for the community.
And although My actions afected the org. I think that it was worth the distruption to teach some lessons.
Ive tried to be civil with the AM in question after the matter,
I receve agressive PM's in responce. Although His public posts would lead people to beleve that he couldnt care less.
Weve come to an arange ment Where i stay out of his way, and we dont address eachother any more,
So life is quiet at the org for me 1ce more.
I havent started any trouble here at the org.
although I may have caused some After it started.
And Im not about to cause trouble now trying to un ban my account.
Maby some 1 should lock this thread?
I think that it was worth the distruption to teach some lessons.

I never Went looking for trouble tosa As you should know,
Many pm's traded hands,
And I would go get them to post them....
But Aparantly i cant acces that account. So i guess thats handy.
All i did was to tell the guy he couldnt delete 1 pollitically incorect joke and leave a whole bunch of others.
His comprehention of this was some what underwhelming.
So i explained that i would reinstate my joke
"that i had personaly removed"
untill he had decidecd not to be a hipocrit.
Unfortunatly Rational debate broke down some where around here, When patronzing messages and insults were thrown.
Insults towards grammer and spelling and an overall Belitteling tone to the posts,
Il admit I called him A retard More than once, Due to his apparant inabilaty to grasp a simple concept.
I was thretend with a Warning if i did not remove the Joke.
i told him.
Hand me the points I Wont bow to a hypocryt,
A few words later.
and a mod "Who's name i wont mention" handed me my 2 Deserved points.
I then Went and posted What had hapen "All be it Colourfully" In the entrance hall.
"i beleve it started Congratulations to
(other partys name)"
Not many people can be a inconciquencial Respect starved hypocryt And Still manage to be a total Asshole,
But he pulls it off Welll.
BAN me for this 1 People,
and Il be back with 20 accounts and The same message In every topic,
This I beleve is what Got me banned.
Becous the next day i loged in to my account to see i had receved 10 warnings in a row.
Then they had been removed.
my ban had been lifted,
But i was unable to view any topics.
So i decided If thats how they wanna play it. Il be an ass my self.
then there were a number of Beruit ..is... a .... Accounts.
And Some 1 was making a few.
ShambleS S**gs sheep .... Accounts.
Things got out of hand.
There were appologies made.
And to me thats the end of it.
I try to get along here. but i dont take well to People who single out 1 Joke, Becous The poster Had gone to the bother of saying
"if this offends any 1 il remove it"
And to add insult to injury he even by passed Worse racist jokes to get to mine faster.
And if thats not the final Straw.
The fact That No 1 stated they were offended should Just go to Show, i wasnt looking for trouble,
I knew the joke was Borderline acceptabe. Hence the "il remove it" siclaimer.
Unfortunatly seeing as no 1 stated they were offended. there wasnt any real reason for my joke to be removed other than some 1 wanting to flex there moding muscles.
ive appologized many times for affecting the org in a derogatory manner.
But I aint gonna bow down and Beg for my account back
I dont regret the way i delt with the situation.
I do regret that the org was affected.
But if you remember properly tossa.
I pm'd you.
Explaining the situation. And That I preferd to deal with it in my way than to report any one.
I Did wrong.
I deserved to get banned.
But at the end of the day.
I was not the 1 who started it.
Im not here to distrupt the org, Infact I try my best to help the community any way i can.
Its just a shame that This is how things happend.
But thats life.
Cant do squat about it i guess.
So have a Merry christmas, happy hollidays, and a happy new year,

Shambles,
I respect you you as an active and helpfull member of the S:TW community, and I agree with you that the jokes were innappropriate and discriminating, but this I cannot believe.
You were not looking for trouble and yet you turned an argument with a single assistant-moderator into an attack on the whole forum staff and tried to disrupt the entire forum. You did not seek reconcilliation, instead escallating the problem several times. It really appear to me that you prefered to seek conflict.

The conflict began.
i continued.
you know that im not proud of my actions.
But i did not start anything.
and im not the type of person to just let something i deem as wrong continue un noticed.
Any way ive said my part,

I don't see the problem here. Who is really at fault? The .ORG is based on a solid foundation of rules and regs that all members adhere to. Last time I was here there was no "points system" but I see that this is a very good system.
The person in question made rash mistakes, but then altered them to remove harm to the community. From what I see both parties are at fault here. The mods and admins are the regulators of the rules and regs and explain to the members how they work and what is acceptable. But this doesnt mean they can disregard the rules themselves. Both parties are at fault here. Why can we not move on from it. Apologies are all that is possible over the net unfortunately, so why is this not enough?
The person in question is a very active member of the STW community and is helping immensly with its revival. It would be a shame to see all that effort disappear. The .ORG is the hub of STW activity because it is so well known and respected but to lose this patron I think the community may fall apart.
In the past before the fakeserver, Tosa you yourself hosted a fakeserver which many people loved but we can all understand that you are a busy man and cannot do everything all the time. This patron is your release from pressure, I and I think many others agree he is a needed part of the community and the revival which we crave so much.
So why not let this "event" (as like many others in the past) become history and look to the future?

'And thus, the long dead thread creeped out of its dusty layer, to wreak havoc upon the world!'
It's like a horror story gone wrong, someone necroing a 2 month old discussion on something from a long time ago.

I really doubt he cares,
ive known him for many years, And some 1 must have aggravated him severely to provoke this reaction.
he contributed lots to the forum, And because of 1 mod who decided it was ok to be racist about french people but not Black people,
And who started to throw personal insults about his spelling and grammar. this situation has occurred.
I know of Many people "who will remain nameless," That do not agree with the Underhanded methods of this assistant mod.,
And I am shure that this Assistant mod Will cause Situations like this in the future,
As for ShambleS,
I doubt he will stop until an apology is issued by the Assistant moderator in question,
And theres no point asking me to talk to him,
because I doubt he will listen.
I've gotten warnings for bashing the French, so I have NO idea what your talking about.
