PVCF Tribunal

  1. That was the problem. So many people just ignored him while he shit all over the old forum. And when the entire forum turned to shit, everyone became apathetic.

    I'm not even saying we ban Hellripper. I don't like being a hardass, and I like the "anything goes" vibe that PVCF has always had. But the guy needs to tone it the fuck down. He's pissing a lot of people off. And this isn't something we can afford to be apathetic about.
     
  2. I don't have a problem with him I also don't have a problem with his posts either. he is just in the PC corner. Maybe he just pisses off certain people, but I don't see banning him as a good option.
     
  3. I think his antics would be OK in moderation but he tends to go waaaay too far and go around in circles endlessly. It's not so much his views that really annoy me but rather the way he totally fails to debate or follow any flow within threads.

    I think maybe a PM from a neutral mod asking him to try and follow threads closer and actually debate things might help. I'm not sure we should ban him just yet but I have felt very tempted before; I guess knowing when the benefits of some forum drama are outweighed by someone just shitting up the place needs to be considered.
     
  4. We seem to be getting hit hard by Indian spammers. Not sure what that's about.
     
  5. Call center business must be slow.
     
  6. We must be getting hits somehow. Just a shame it is with the wrong clientèle.
     
  7. The politically correct term is Native American.
     
  8. I think he meant Indians from India.

  10. Admins, don't delete the banned spammers. We need to keep their IPs on record so they can't re-register.
     
  11. You may want to remove the websites of banned members.

    Do they only show to admins? When viewing as a guest, it looks like the website links don't show in profiles for members-with-zero-posts.
     
  12. I've been deleting the websites in their profiles. If anything, it now seems like these Indians and Pakistanis are just registering to put spam sites in their profiles. Most of them don't actually post anything.
     
  13. Ichiban installed the country filters, and I deleted anyone who's not a real member.
     
  14. Is it me or is anyone else finding the site slower to access when you type in the URL?

    I'm wondering if it's going through the HTACCESS list that I've made to check our IP's...or if I'm just really needing to format my computer...
     
  15. It's been pretty much the same from my phone. I'll give it a try on my home PC when I get back tonight.
     
  16. I haven't had any problems with it. It actually seems to be working more reliably for me since we did the update to punbb.
     
  17. Yes! Ban monsly! Wait. What we doing here? Everything is fast for me.
     
  18. @Ichiban

    Add Nigeria and Taiwan if you haven't already.
     
  19. arhjklhi is most likely a bot.
     
  20. It really doesn't even matter because the first 15 posts require captcha, and bots have no way of completing it. They can register but they'll never be able to post anything.
