In like a week or so. His shenanigans were getting pretty strange but I want to see where American Hare goes.

From memory, pokejihad was about 5 new threads in General Discussion. Chefe's spree was spamming the "Decline of the Codex" image into every first page thread in the News Comments, Site Feedback and General RPG Discussion forum. This is the second time (in a week) that he's done that. This time, he only stopped because I knocked out his account mid-stride. If it'd been 15 new threads in General Discussion, I probably wouldn't have been as concerned as my initial response is generally relative to the amount of effort required to clean up the mess and the damage intended by the action (plus, moving entire threads into Retardo land enmass is really easy). We had to split all his posts out and into Retardo Land. For those who want to mention Volourn, that was only one new thread in Site Feedback per day to replace the one we Retardo'd the day before.Jaime Lannister said:After all, spacemoose wasn't banned after his pokejihad.
Look up "Sheriff Fatman" or have a chat with Jedi Learner. We've got a long history of banning spammers and trolls. The only people who are given enough rope to hang themselves are those in flame wars, expressing opinions no matter how rightly or wrongly. Out-right spam has never been viewed in a good light. Our immediate response is always an on-the-spot ban to stop the spamming. We don't ban people for having different opinions. We will however, happily ban people for creating a mess which needs to be cleaned up. Whether that ban ever gets over-turned or not is a separate issue.Locue said:This place once so proud of not banning people or locking threads...

If he was a real poster, he could have just made a new account without a problem.
Half the active posters seem to be dumbfucks now.
i just don't see what banning Chefe ultimately accomplices

I take it you weren't around for the weeks and weeks of the post ban Andhaira alts?
Helton said:Banning Chefe accomplices a stop to the spamming. He'll probably get unbanned in a while and maybe he'll get a handle on his bi-polar mood swings. Seems to have eventually worked with Jedi_Learner.
Unless you're Andhaira yourself (in which case, going by the log, you bounced off my proxy block 63 times before you got through) or Sheriff Fatman returned (in which case you sure took a long time to come back after spending the last few years whinging about me destroying your internet life), then that's not really true. For the most part though, if we ban someone and they come back with a new account, act normal and nobody notices, I'm not fussed.SpaceKungFuMan said:Noone who was seriously trying to maintain a presence here can be kept out by banning.
Chefe is going through the Jedi Learner part of his forum life. He wanted to be banned. He edited out his oblibion comics and replaced them with "Hello World". In the end I dug those out of the edit log when someone requested them. He's now spammed the forum up twice. He needed to put his hand in the fire to determine if it was hot. Coming here and posting crap like kingcomrade doesn't bother me / the admins. Spamming the forum in what appears to be a deliberate attack that only annoys people and makes work for us, does.SpaceKungFuMan said:But was that really needed for chefe? are we trying to drive him away forever? Seems unnecessary to me.
