Requesting a screenshot to prove there is even an inbox

[Atheist]

for receiving contact us requests. Prosper really would like to know they aren't being tossed aside.:;(

 

[DraQ]

In before screenshots of brolist.

 

[King Crispy]

Please fucking ban Atheist already.

 

[Krash]

I don't care about atheist, but I made a serious request some time ago. How about at least an ETA?

 

[Jaesun]

Please fucking ban Atheist already.

As long as he keeps his shit out of the other forums I don't see a problem with him/her/it.

 

[Xor]

I know the contact us form works because I used it to submit a news story a few years back.

How about:

 

[Haba]

So guys, I heard DraQ sent out a request to be banned. What a weird wyrm!

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Yeah, I gotta get around to those. We used to get about 5 a month but ever since I made GD registered members only, we've been getting about 5 a day.

 

[King Crispy]

:shock:

What is going on with the system thinking everyone trying to register is using a proxy? It's definitely not just Prosper.

 

[Jaesun]

They are all probably ChefeBryceDrog alts.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

Nope. Happening to my flatmate when he tries to register either in the flat (though I can see that flagging up the same IP as me or somethng) or in uni.

 

[Jaesun]

That.... is rather fascinating Mr. Admiral jimbob.

 

[King Crispy]

Have your flatmate hunt down and eradicate the Prosper. It's all his fault anyway.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

Prosper is already bombarding my duplexes, I don't want to stick my neck out

Black Cat says it happened to her when she tried to make a new account too, I think

 

[SoupNazi]

It happened to me as well.

 

[SuicideBunny]

and nothing of value was lost.

Two main issues. First, there's all the false negatives that can be generated because there's actually no easy, sure-fire way to check for a proxy. I use a couple of methods and tweak them up or down based on how many people are struggling to get through and how legit I think they are. Second, there are additional checks I do that create a bunch of flags around a given user. If too many of them go off, it traps you. Oh, and it will keep trapping you. That's the beauty of it. Once you're caught, it's very hard for you to get through.

This means that people really come here for GD.

 

[Wyrmlord]

The strangest thing was this.

Some newly registered poster on General Discussion (Christopher V. Brady) said he registered just for replying to a topic there.

Now, as a non-registered person, he somehow figured a loophole to view General Discussion without having to log in. Meaning that this lurker is so dedicated to reading General Discussion that he somehow found a way to read it without registering.

So there are lurkers who indeed come here for General Discussion.

 

[SoupNazi]

Or... maybe, just maybe, he was an alt?

 

[Wyrmlord]

Or... maybe, just maybe, he was an alt?

Why would an alt register to talk seriously about Israel and Palestine?

 

[DwarvenFood]

Because he is ashamed that he is a Jew.
