Title: CAN WE PLEASE BAN Xvirus?
Post by: Squeek on September 13, 2003, 19:22:18
I think some form of action has been taken, as the posts just all of the sudden stopped at 102.  We'd have to ask a moderator to verify, but I'm sure something has taken place.

PS - POST #900!!  [8D]

Did you notice that he isn't the only user with X infront of his name?  Pretty odd isn't it?

Xvirus has been banned. He has reappeared with the exact same IP address as Xzero. This information is on its way to our administrator.


Very best,

Didn't you learn last time that this is not the way to deal with this sort of problem?

We're supposed to ignore the poster and contact an adminstrator or a moderator to discuss it.

Oh, and, uh, Megaman X series rocks.

Thank you sooo much Nick!  [:D]

Is there a way to prevent any more from getting a chance to make an account?  Also are you guys going to go through and delete all his posts as well?[8D]

Thanks for handling the situation! [|)]

Adrian should be able to block IPs. If you can block IPs from taking a poll more than once, you can block an IP from making an account. Hopefully that option is available. It seems like every time one situation dies down, another pops up, even if it's just a minor one. [xx(]

Adrian will be back on the boards come morning time in the UK. I have left him several messages. He will know what to do in this regard. He is very astute.


very best,

oh, and thanks for your work on "xzero" Nick, i saw that he is bothering your time forcing you deleting all those little awful replies. Glad you are here ! I think we, members, have just to totally ignore him, that's the solution.

There really should be a way to trace the IP of people like this and file some kind of formal complaint.  Not just to get him into trouble, but this child is disturbed and really needs some help.  [:(]  Is there are way to make his parents or guardian aware of the types of things he is saying or report it to the police or something where they could inform the parents?

I know he is probably harmless (except maybe to himself), but he has actually broken laws here.  He has threatened to kill people.  Obviously it is all a bunch of hot air, but it is still against the law.  I don't think just ignoring it at this point is wise.  Somebody in his real life needs to be made aware of this.

soulfire, not really. Aside from that, this is really the most humorously minor case of trolling I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of it.

Yes it is harmless to us, but not to him.  You don't say some of the things he has said without honestly needing help.  Behavior like that manifests for a reason.  Maybe he just wants attention, but there is a reason WHY he is willing to threaten to kill people just to get a little attention.  That is simply not healthy.

I know he's just a little kid with a lot of problems, but he is just spamming up the forum and being deliberately disrespectful of pretty much everyone including himself.  Since we probably can't call his mommy and get him grounded, can we please just ban him?  [:D]
