To All Map Members - Internet Abuse

[Chazz]

Member, we have been bothered by a few pest that will not leave our site alone. I will be reporting them for internet abuse asap. I have got their IP address as well as their Hosting info. If anyone would like to join me in reporting them please let me know.

[Fuzzy Panther]

If I knew how to do it then I'd join you in a split second!

I'm just glad that the moronic attitudes of some prepubescent trolls hasn't spoiled our forum.

3 cheers to whoever deleted all those nasty,vulgar, and totally disgusting posts and threads started by those trolls! Throw all that garbage AWAY!!! Vanished without a trace (or hardly a trace)!!!!!!! This website seems so much more pleasant now that they are gone! Thanks again to whichever one of you did the clean-up job!!!!! :D

I just want to that all of the members that have help put the QUOTE"(@:?@holes)" in their place.

Waya the info you asked for is in your PM

[Joseki]

its nice to see something done about (@:?@holes) like (chazz i hope you didnt mind my opinuon on them ha ha) that but its also a shame that people can do it just to start up trouble.

But They came they saw and got kicked out.

[Ghostsuit]

Yeah well we just don't tolerate that sort of attitude here :)

[Jim]

Is there some way to stop this from happening again? Or a quicker response time? They annoyed a lot of people in a very short time.

Glad they've gone.

:)

Good Question, Waiting for an answer!

Hiya

There really isn't anything we can do about trolls that land on the forum. There are several people moderating and others that know how to reach the Moderators in the event of a problem. I'm sorry I couldn't get to it earlier, but at the first hint of a problem I notified the forum owners and had them banned.

Its unfortunate, but unless we recognise the names of a new member from another forum we have no idea of what they are like. I myself have 5 names I can immediately think of so we all live under pseudonyms here!

In the event of any further disturbances and a moderator doesn't appear to have noticed, please email one of them and we should be able to respond pretty quickly.

(We don't just talk MA ya know, we have to go out the room now and then to train in it!) ;)

I have to agree with Melanie. Having been an IRC admin several times over, there's no preventing people from proving that there is a lesser intelligence on this planet (maybe aliens will find them and stop abducting people, but then the tabloids would go bankrupt :) ). All you can do is laugh at them having to make themselves look like Kindergarten students sent to the principal and ban them later lol.

:) It's extremely hard to do and I've not found away yet to stop them completely. Still we've just added 2 more moderators which should shorten the time between them posting and a moderator catching the post.

I am usually on around 5am Eastern Time. If I'm not on the forum, my email is always open so I'm easy to reach :)

You have my full support.....So what do I have to do now:confused:

:D I know:woo:

[Dragon_Princess]

Honestly...I havent seen any yet, but if I do, I'll definitely report them because I really think this is a nice site. I haven't been a member long, but I'm already liking it.

[Chazz]

There was a lot going on for about a week, They were reported for internet abuse and kicked off here
