General Questions about this forum.

4.) Flaming does it very quickly, especially after warnings have been given with no ameliorative effect.

5.) Probably busy with finding small children to eat, or appendages to rip off. Take care to ensure that he's not after you!

6.) I'd suppose so. I don't think Moderators are able to do that.

7.) Common sense gets you very far from problems.

I don't "flame" anyway...

Guess I should keep watch of hungry Kid eating Yeti's (specifically named Gob) trying to break into my house...

6.) I'd suppose so. I don't think Moderators are able to do that.

I guess that's why he's so violent.

7.) Common sense gets you very far from problems.

Umm... pretty average advice I guess...

Q8.

Who is Mhadi The Deported? And why does everyone know him in real-life/have actually met him in person?

[Dunenewt]

Mahdi the Deported, or simply just Mahdi, is one of the administrators of this site and the one true...*muffled sounds*...err nothing.

Not all Mods can ban, but Staff can. Nine people have been banned since Emprworm's (week-long) ban; six of these bans are permanent.

[nampigai]

oh...6 people? dash me! Well guess I haven't payed that much attention to the forum the last couple of years.

The censor says it all. I remember a time when we got some spammers coming in to advertise and the like. Are they part of the count?

Wasn't that because you were banned all that time?

[nampigai]

If so, then I didn

All permabans currently in effect are spambots (or their first post was spam links to porn, etc.), apart from JOEBIALEK (the human spambot), and DRFsimmsy (and his alternate accounts).

[Andrew]

For anyone wondering JOEBIALEK is still posting on the internet with his posts.

His latest post is about abortion, posted just this month.

And before that is was mortgage meltdown

http://livingwithstyle.com/1869944535-mortgage-meltdown.html

I still have no idea what the point of his posts are. I'm guessing a sociologist or pollster that takes users responses?

[gunner154]

He's only come in just to make a post that states an opinion, and then 'abandon' the whole forum/thread altogether? You know, I'm starting to find the guy familiar. We identified him because of the randomness of that post, right?

Umm... Why don't they just create a new profile...

Q9

Why did Mhadi call me "a poor, poor bastard" because I didn't know him?

[nemafakei]

"Umm... Why don't they just create a new profile..."

Because we have fancy intelligent banning tools.

"Why did Mhadi call me "a poor, poor bastard" because I didn't know him?"

Knowledge of the Mahdi would impart spiritual, cultural, social and intellectual enlightenment. Lack of such knowledge is surely therefore to be pitied.

[MrFlibble]

Oh, and I have foolishly confessed in some other thread (I won't tell you which one ;)) that I "actually never got to a personal acquaintance" with Mahdi... I guess such things should be kept (a shameful) secret...[/blush]

All lies + Blasphemy, knowledge of Mhadi will bring Nothing (except for lies) :D.

On question #1 Gob has a dungeon. And no one is quite sure what goes on in there so.....be afraid,be very,very,very afraid.  :P

[Dunenewt]

We know what comes out of there.  Bones.

[gunner154]

And discarded ripped appendages.

What do you mean by dungeon? How do you find out what's in there? should I continuasly Harass Gob until I find out?

Q10

How do you get your country pic. thing?

[Andrew]

Don't bug Gob about the dungeon.

To get country pic thing go to Member Map at top of page, click "Place your Pin"

[Kirby Gotenks absorbed]

What's the member map?

Bugging Gob about the dungeon sounds... really, really, really... FUN! :D Its like a must-have when it comes to harassing people!!!

[Andrew]

At very top of every forum page there is a link

Don't bug Gob about the dungeon.

Why not?

[Andrew]

Because bugging anyone is not a good idea.
