 Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11620 | It is extremely sad, but I had to ban a member from this forum today: Boss. He posted an advertisement for his site in almost every current topic, none of them related of course. All his 'posts' were written in uppercase and consisted of a text like "ALL COME JOIN MY PAGE <URL>". After the first of these posts, I sent him a message asking him politely to stop. After the next (identical) post in another thread, I asked him again and warned him. When he still continued, I banned him. All the useless posts have been deleted. I hoped this forum would be too 'ugly' and 'small' for something like that to happen, but I was wrong apparantely. All I can say is this:  and  Edited by Mr Creosote at 15:54 on September, 28th 2002 ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

 Member Prof Gumby Posts: 560 | I hardly think you can call someone like that a member so according to me it's no big loss... And you could look at the upside of these events: at least someone somewhere thought that by advertising here, he would attract more traffic for whatever site he has  btw, maybe you could remove the notifications that boss posted too...

But this, of course, is highly unthinkable" |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11620 | I'll just wait until someone else replies to these topics again - then, all indications will be gone anyway  ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11620 | No, I'm just using the forum software as an administrator - and if it doesn't automatically update, I won't manipulate the database  ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

 Member Retired Gumby Posts: 743 | So the board isn't ugly enough yet? Well, I guess you'll have to try and make it more grey and more yellow, that'll scare everyone off (including all existing members). :p New motto: "The Spam Club, ugly by intent." ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 560 | Or you could make everything pitch black. That way the board would become totaly unusable and you'ld be sure nobody would ever post here again so there would be no adverts ever... ----- "In theory, if people bred as fast as ants, and with an equal indifference for it's surrounding species, earth would have 5 million human inhabitants at the turn of the century.

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 743 | Hmm.... since he called himself 'boss' and used your old avatar, I wonder if it was a deliberate attack and not just annoying spam? btw I see the site listed in his profile is a dead link. (You have to cut/paste the url since he didn't include the http://, but it still is a page not found eror.) ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 743 | The title loads, but the page I get just says 'oops couldn't find your page' and then proceeds to advertise a server company. ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |

 Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | The site doesn't have exclusive content, so you don't miss anything (just some links to download pages, plus four roms). |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11620 | Cypherswipe: I offered everyone they could send in their proposals for a colours scheme - where is yours (apart from the constant talk about a background image which was certainly the least constructive proposal I've ever heard )?And no, it was not an 'attack' on me, since the same person had already registered before under a different name with a different avatar a day earlier - he apparantely had just forgotten about it Edited by Mr Creosote at 11:41 on September, 29th 2002 ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 560 | Ok, not an attack, just an idiot then  ----- "In theory, if people bred as fast as ants, and with an equal indifference for it's surrounding species, earth would have 5 million human inhabitants at the turn of the century. But this, of course, is highly unthinkable" |
