he will be banned i am sure

Re: Mods - Please close this guy down
 

There's not really much they can do.

If he's proxying it, he can get around any possible way they can ban him and just register a new name and do it over and over and over again. The only way to stop him is to not feed into his bs. Don't feed the troll, just ignore him and go about your day. He'll get bored eventually.

I'd say ban him, the the task of merging the threads and let them drift to the basement.

Re: Mods - Please close this guy down
 

how do you propose that they go about banning someone who's proxied? All he has to do is change to another proxy...

Re: Mods - Please close this guy down
 

Yeah...people need to just stop responding to him.

Re: Mods - Please close this guy down
 

This is gonna sound so weird....But I know it's possible to ban a user all together. One because I got ban years ago from a torrent site (can't say which one lol). And proxies dind't work. I had to wait untill they lifted my ban. I wasn't 18. :( lol

As has been pointed out, if he's accessing the site via a proxy server, then we can't stop him entirely. There's two forms of bans any site can institute: A ban of the user, and a ban of their IP address. Ban the user and they can make a new account, ban the IP address and anyone with that IP can't log in to any accounts. But if you go through a proxy server, your IP is masked behind a different one. We can block that IP, but he can simply connect through a different proxy server, and he's back in. And repeat.

What I'm wondering is why none of these threads has been deleted yet. I'm a mod on IGN, and we can delete any threads we please, and there are constantly riots like this that require a lot of cleaning. Why are these threads still here?

That said, while this guy is a jackass, he was baited. His first thread, which was simply a harmless joke that could have been ignored, was responded to with rude comments and warnings of bans (a ban was unnecessary under the circumstances, only a warning that it wasn't cool was enough), which just enticed him. He did it again this morning, people went ape, and he retaliated further. In a way we brought this upon ourselves.

Yeah but still this guy needs a life. And maybe when i got banned from that site I wasn't using the proxy right or it's probably bc it was a torrent site. But I don't know. The threads just need to be deleted.
