    as a moderator on a few forums (DIFFERENT forums than what i already stated) i have learned that bans don't matter. they just make a new Hotmail address, a new username, a new passkey, and a proxy server to mask the location for a while, and then they're back. ofc some forums ENCOURAGE the members and staff to be dicks at each other constantly so that's pretty much moot point on them



    ah well, at least somebody's taken action about this.

    And it's quite obvious when a banned member is back, behind a proxy. So they get banned over and over.

    i know, i learned the hard way, although it's not easy if it's another OS or such, but they'll usually do some damage before they get banned again, animosity, trolling, etc... if they can do it they will.

    If you were a moderator you'd know how to behave.

    I assure you, banning people is easier than creating new accounts. And what you described there is by far the best way to know someone's back. The more someone misbehaves, the easier for us to catch him. And if he doesn't, it means he is behaving. Either way, we win.

    Yeah but it's a fair amount of effort to do that and after one or two bans they usually give up.

    My apologies for the trouble, Cookie.
    In my case; having experience (both past and present) as a member of staff on sites didn't stop me from being involved.

    It comes with a mortal wound and a *LOT* of pain that not even pain-killing drugs can kill.

    Thank you. Although, as it was morning - it was after midnight - it was more of a "good morning." But a bloody stupid nightmare negated that good morning.

    So true. It took me joining up with THREE more forums to learn that, since I've been banned twice, the second one being a post-ban, at the first forum I joined.

    My cat decided to wake me up by rubbing against the water bottle on my bed book-case/headboard. This action caused to to fall, bounce off of my bad eye, land on the pillow, and what water was left came flowing out and splashed against my head and back.

    Worst way to wake up thus far.

    At least it didn't wake you up by scratching you for hours with two other cats.
    That's how I woke up this morning - 03:00 AM in South African time.
    Barely slept for two hours.
    My mother's cats are pure evil.

    That's a good way to wake up. With me the cats paw at the blankets or pace around and yell. If I'm unlucky, I'll get a kitty headbutt to the chest which actually pushes hard enough to roll me on my side. Of course, the cats here generally know that their food-dispensing head-rubbers arn't usually up until 6-8 am.

    Regardless, I feel sorry for you.

    Protip: close the bedroom door with the cat(s) outside the bedroom.

    Was that at me?
    If so, there is only three rooms at the house I live in, the third one being built by my father this year as a workshop.
    So I can't close any bedroom door. And it's cold in South Africa (since it's winter) and I'm the only one who likes the cold.
