I do a game on my forum : you put name/firstname in name field, and your real photo : you say "YES" in certain threads and you win places for cinema or concerts.

About 25% play without putting name/firstname/photo ... I think there are people they have forgot brain ...

I had a very trusted moderator that for no reason started attacking my forum.
He ran a script that auto-posted in all forums, so in a few hours (I was sleeping) my forum had millions of spam posts.
I had no choice but to re-install my forums with the latest back-up. It wasn't too bad, the last backup was quite recent.
So yep, my moderator was banned, blocked, quarantined, never talked to him since then.

Wow, is all I can say to that.  There are way too many people out there like that, and the most that you can do is ban them or try to identify proxies, etc.

....I learnt that some people have power problems, because in life they
don't have any other place where they feel powerful , because they
always feel weak, and like shit. That's why they like to make people
feel weak. That way they satisfy their urge to be important. But They
can not understand one fact that, they can not be important by using
Hitler like attitudes. Hitler had to commit suicide at the end ya >
know.

Why don't you ban yourself one day?

You have problems Molly. Accept it.

AND XXXXX AND ALL OTHER PEOPLE ARE BETTER THAN YOU, PULL YOUR HAIR
AWWW HAHAHAHAHAHA

I have never had someone beg to be an admin though..  I guess they know better!  smile

the guy that asked to be a mod on my forum did not read the rules (it says Read and agree)

Moderators
Im the only one that can assign moderators. If you show that you are a good person, and I feel you deserve it, I will make you a moderator. Begging to be a moderator will get you no where. If you do, that will pretty much ruin your chances of becoming one

Ok, but it's just a courtesy to other users to censor out bad words.

How about the courtesy to respect the rules set by the admins of this forum?

The entire point of me quoting those emails was to show the bad way that some people act. If I censor away the message, the point is lost.

I don't know if there is a similar thread here already, forgive me if there is.

I thought it would be fun to exchange some experiences from our forums.  I'm sure we all have experienced some crazy people, or other things worth a laugh smile

I had a new member join a couple of days ago, she's bloody insane. She used her first 15 posts to argue with all of my mods, and when banned, she started sending offensive emails to me! lol

Here is one mail: "I'm gonna keep signing onto different computers and tell people what a piece of **** that you are. So expect that people will hear all about your twisted, distorted objectivity...There are millions of computers at my disposal so expect to be hit and hit like a mother ****** you peice of ****..........."

She continued the next day with this lovely mail:
"Like I said yesterday all this means is that i am going to continue to hammer you with my access to many computers..you coulda responded maturely but you don't have the balls or the decency so expect to get hammered and get hammered mercilessly....YOU FAG"

!!! Have any of you encountered any such lunatics? lol

If any of you are going to quote cuss words, PLEASE replace them with ****'s.
