The forum equilibrium has been restored

[craig3.2]

He has been banned from the forum. For those who wondered why he was allowed to stay so long, the best way to get these people to move on is to ignore them. They feed off the responses and the more they get the more they post.

The problem with immediately banning people like this is they just see it as a challenge to return, we have seen it so many times. If you ban someone by IP they just get a new one (not going into the many ways of doint that). Email addresses are also easy to create. There are other ways I use to detect returning users, but nothing is infallable. The point really is the beast and easiest way of getting people to move on is to either ignore them and they get bored, or actually to ask them to go away.

In this case the guys was getting the responses he was looking for and as such was not going to leave, so I banned him. The fact he was around for a while was nothing to do with me being happy for him to be here.

Over the years (since 2007... time flies, eh!) we have had several "personalities" who cause divide or debate on the forum... largely I find it best to let the forum moderate itself in that respect... where this guy annoyed me was his constant garbage about owning Ferraris etc... pretty sure the closest he has got to a Ferrari is the poster on the wall of his bedroom above the pile of crusty socks!

Anyway, if anyone sees any similar posts then please use the report post function and we will jump on it, more effective than replying to them.

Cheers,

Good one, Jim

Hello all,

what happened? who has been banned?

I haven't been around much and obviously missed some interesting developments!

A

Z4mad. Mad as a hatter he was :rofl:

 

[craig3.2]

After an eventful day on the wonderful Z4 forum, the equilibrium seems to have finally been restored. All is good in the world.
A nutter has been driven out and banished and Pete's finally back after all these years. God bless us and all who sail in us

Yeah,only the Equilibrium isn't restored then, certainly not to what it once was.

That z4 mad was on the wind up surely.
Although,I can see why you would give them the benefit of the doubt.
Still think he was a Troll though.

ha ha he took you in.

I'm a trusting soul me, Steve

Hook line and sinker mate. :rofl:

See he started off on a serious note, enquiring on the difference between the 35i and 35iS all good stuff, but it was the type and use of language that became tedious very quickly. No one with any kind of social awareness uses opaque language like that unless they’ve got a lot of free time on their hands and most normals just can’t be arsed. He was certainly a special type of troll

Wasn't sure who had been banned until I read your description. Now it's obvious

I know; I'm so naive. :headbang:
There was me thinking that a member who asked for his profile to be deleted didn't want to be associated with the forum anymore. I obviously have a lot to learn about the cyber world (or even the real world).

 

[Scubaregs]

He MAY not have been a troll and Katie Price MAY be a virgin, who are we to judge?

Following your suggestion to its logical conclusion, Dwight Yorke must be God. Given that he fathered a child with the Virgin Katie, it must have been through immaculate conception. I wonder if it was the second coming… :lol:

There's a real world. Like, out side the Z4 forum. :?

Mmmm, wonder if Jesus knew his father was getting jiggy with his woman? :rofl:

So does that mean that Harvey is Jesus back for a second visit?
