Quote from: 'humpybong' pid='79885' dateline='1443053978'Maybe he should be given a final warning then if he keeps it up remove him from members list and block his IP address.

We've already done that and he created a new ID and started using a Telstra internet dongle that changes his IP address every time he starts a new internet session. Honestly it's better off that we know who he is and monitor his posts (and delete them) than him burrowing back in and creating some alternate persona we have to figure out. Which is exactly what's happened in the past.

I have my suspicions that he already has several other ID's ready for when he might need them. At lease we know exactly who he is at present, better the devil you know etc....

I wondered how long he could hold out before he derailed.

His train is permanently running off of the tracks. If you want some chuckles watch some of the interactions that him and robbiegal have. I am not sure what she did to upset him but he's got it in for her, she gives back as good as she gets though.

Yeah, I've noticed a few of his 'interactions' with RG. Once he gets it in for anyone he never lets go. RG must have really irked him at some time.

Even when I totally disagree with his comments, I stay well out of it. I remember how he used to be on ACBO and how vitriolic he was with PPH.

He's had it in for me for what must be nearly 10 years. Thankfully he's given up sending me obscene or threatening emails and keeps his activities to bad-mouthing me to anyone who will listen. I must admit I'd rather be on the list of people that he's got it in for than those that he likes. I must be doing something right

PPH have been speaking about Runway tonight. He seems to have gotten under the skin of several members who are responding to his provocations. We all know that is like a red rag to a bull as far as he is concerned and he's starting to really upset a lot of people. As a consequence I've put him on automatic post moderation. Moderators will need to approve all of his posts before they go public.

In anticipation of him having another ID already signed up I've run a report of users and last login date. If he goes quiet and starts posting with a dormant account I can run the report again and we should be able to narrow his alternate account down fairly quickly.

I reckon he's got multiple 'personalities' in real life and on the forum. There are already quite a few inactive members that I think could be him.

I don't think he'll be too happy about automatic post moderation, unless he's unaware of it and I doubt there's much to be gained by banning him, as he's very determined and will find some way to make his presence known, or in his case unknown.

It seems to me that he only ever posts in the evening or late at night, so I guess he's doing it from his workplace.

There were no previously dormant accounts that logged in last night after he did. Nor did any of the accounts log in from a similar Telstra assigned IP address. I'll run the same report each morning for a week or two and see when he pops his head up again.

It's lovely and peaceful on the forum, just real coins posts about coins and not poking and prodding and resurrecting old posts to start argument. Even AJ is back. Mark says Runway hasn't even logged in for 2 days so he must know he's on moderated posts.

I had been speaking with other members and he really is/was degrading forum morale and needed to pull his head in.

Nevol · December 14, 2015, 10:24:10 AM

there are 4 new posts by him in:
www.australian-coins.net/showthread.php?tid=4079&pid=82708#pid82708

all posted last night between 11:32 pm and 11:45 pm, but they all have pink shading so I guess that's what they look like when they're waiting to be approved by a mod.

There are also new posts by him in 2 other threads which are also pink.

My bad, I checked late last night and he hadn't logged in, didn't check again this morning when PPH asked me about PJ.

Those posts of his are in the moderator queue. Mods can approve or delete them using the Mod CP at the top of the forum and then clicking on the Moderation Queue link on the lower left. I believe that posts in the mod queue are only visible to moderators.

purplepennyhunter · December 18, 2015, 08:26:46 AM

We've been checking the moderation queue every morning and accepting or deleting runways comments as they are deemed suitable/off topic/shit stirring/resurrecting argument/starting new argument. Looks to be working out ok so far. Some comments and duplicate posts tell me that he knows his posts aren't immediately seen.

For example last night 3 posts one duplicate and both were shit stirring and resurrection of shit stirring and another off-topic resurrection of shit stirring so they were all deleted.

You are right Nancy the pink posts are those only seen buy the mods/admin and need to be approved before everyone sees them.

Nevol · April 13, 2016, 07:20:35 AM

One of his posts I approved a few days ago had a person's full name in it, even their second name. This is the entire post:

WENDY JANICE ROBERTS
http://www.ebay.com.au/usr/fortymillion007
Nasty piece of work from Devonport Tasmania
Yes trout this thing is a real piece of work,best ignore the nutter

I deleted the name and warned him not to use peoples names but of course you already know that and the consequent posts. I read all the posts on the RAM forum and it seems like it's just a place for shit stirrers to go to sling shit at each other.

PJ's reply from last night to my latest post in the thread has also been deleted, namely:
"Yeah right Fred Flintstone my name is Wilma and I live in Bedrock :wavemulticolor: "

Personally, I'd just as soon delete the whole thread, as I doubt that it brings anything of value to the forum.

purplepennyhunter · April 13, 2016, 08:27:21 AM

Thread deleted. I have better things to do than deal with him. Thanks Nancy for being on top of this.

humpybong · April 13, 2016, 05:29:58 PM

I agree....deletion was the best answer.
