All about him.
Just an over enthusiastic twit that decided to cross the line.. got kicked out and has since run a recruiting crusade against ECF in the form of spam PM's to members and multiple false ID's on the forum (I think around 15 so far!).
can you hit him with an IP ban, or has mobile computing muddied the waters too much for that to be effective anymore?
It's probably not that simple, p-doze.
I'm sitting in range of 3 unsecured wireless networks as we speak, and I'm in a loosely spaced suburban neighborhood. Not to mention that some people can get a new IP address every time they reset their modems.
IP bans are pretty easy to work around.

And that would have resulted in another one of his fake accounts being banned. Keep it up.
You'd probably have to IP ban half his country to stop him. Not a very good solution.
i'm a mod on another site, and the admins are fairly successful in blocking the external IP except in cases where multiple people from the same office all have logins to the site. when people that have been banned multiple times return, the community has taken it upon themselves to chase them off through various white and black hat techniques.
plus, i have no idea how any of the IP stuff works
Of course not! It's just an urban legend!
eh there are but they're not very impressive
Ah. I was wondering what the... percentage?... would be in spamming another forum. I mean, a product, that makes sense, you get money. But just an online forum?
Heh, yeah, somebody on a crusade to Destroy! Them! is a very weird Net phenomena. I was very active on Usenet for years and remember how amusing it was when somebody set out to Destroy! a very active newsgroup that saw thousands of posts per day. Don Quixote, meet windmill. Windmill, Don Quixote...
Because he HAS to be "The Man", but if there's no one there to see that you're "The Man", it takes all the fun out of being "The Man".
I know that someone, who liked to stir the pot up, told him how to get around the IP issue. How it's done? I have no clue. The person said that if he wanted to know, message her. Shortly after he showed up here after all his roomies IP's were blocked. This is the period that Orbas is talking about. Yeah, I lurked on the other place when I'm totally bored. He also lurks here. I've seen him reference things on this forum from time to time.
I used to think it was just sad....now I really wonder about his mental capacity. Almost crosses over to scary.

Does make you wonder.
I know if I had a forum and some loon was doing this and making my forum look bad, I'd ban him without question.
And that's just what I did, Fortunately someone found it right away. I signed on and found that in my pm box wondering who it was, they didn't have very many posts , so I thought it was weird.
Every hobby has a few people like this... All i can say is, life must really be dull if your mission in life is to be an online superhero.
Aw. A legend in his own mind.
Heh, that's one of the big drawbacks of this Internet thing, we discover how nuts our species really is.
Yes it does, doesn't it?
Now, said other forum are very happy he's there, for now. They've never had so many "members". Whether they stick around.....or if the mods inadvertently anger him..... I wouldn't chance it myself.
