Banning Maynooth....

Gavin

In all honesty i think that that is a bit unfair. Imean not for them, they are spa's and should be banned but it is possible to just ban the CS dep.
May IP's are 149.157.x.x I think that the CS dep is possibly 149.157.203.6 or so. I can check for u if you want ?

By banning Maynooth you will be stopping Gerry from accessing as well.

In comparison an ISP in the states last week banned the entire .co.uk domain because some porn spam sent to its customers originated there.

not such a hot idea
but never let it be said that some of you guys are hostile and insecure

ISP's in the states do a lot of stupid things, because they are run by fat americans

We'll do whatever we can to target just these losers, however perhaps Gerry and other genuine players/posters should "encourage" paddypaddy and his mates to go away.
Banning Maynooth was Regis idea, I've got a more direct opinion on the problem...

Right NO, we won't be banned Maynooth, they'll settle down like ****ing most of us did. Morons stop putting up NERD posts, its just ****es people off, for ****'s sake just leave it, if it gets bad we can just tell em to stop instead of Jaden's 'you're dead you little dickwad' posts. NNNGGGGHHHH

Vorosha

I don't think Maynooth should be banned because of these harmless few.

"we can just tell em to stop instead of Jaden's 'you're dead you little dickwad' posts".

Where the hell did I say this?

Hail To The King, Baby. (Sorry junkie, but I'll stop, if you stop playing Q2, cos it annoys me .)

Hallo dave?

This doesn't work. We've already asked. For all the hassle we've banned, we've always asked, and they've always ignored it. This time we're sick of letting drag for weeks.

Question. How many of you want to spammed with non-stop crap for a few weeks while we ask politely before we ban? (this is how its always been done).

Alternatively, we ask once, and then we remove their posts, and remove them. This is how we should do it.

We shouldn't have to tolerate this crap. If they want to spam someone, go spam some other board.

Lastly, we're *planning* to ban Maynooth without warning if the muppetry continues. This allows them to *stop* the muppetry, and then everyone is happy.

(To stop Noggy worrying)

Curious that they only spam the Quake boards, which would seem to suggest they are just attention seekers.

Bunny

Its bull****

To start off with, most new people post a harmless question, or post something to a mate they know...then all the morons with some kind of msgboard ego lay into them straight away. **** sake, we were all new at some stage eh? we just didn't have some kind of gay heirarchy giving us **** from the word go. If people spam, abuse all that etc they shouldn't be tolerated, but I swear, look at most new people posts and you'll see somewhere down the line someone has completely annoyed them with the holier than thou simpsons comic store owner crap. New people don't care...dont you get it? its just a game, just a msgboard...if they stay and don';t get abused, then they'll get sucked into quake and be one of your m8y m8's.

I could so ****ing prove this by logging on a new character and asking a pretty dumb quake question, I'd get all the usual suspects calling me a muppet because I'm so computer illiterate.

Finally I read their first posts, and they were grand....just the COMIC SHOP OWNERS start on them and then they got ****ed off.
This is the main reason why new people spam the boards and give others abuse.

Next time this happens I will go through the post and ****ing show yous the little sly NERD comments that **** new people off, maybe you can't see them?

Show me a post (or remind me of one , as we've just pruned the db of all their messages) where they asked for help with quake, or where they even talked about quake on these boards...

They are just trolls, ignore them, they arent worth championing.

I think.......im going to the pub now...and i don't care.

FurY

EWJ, Clamour, Judas, and Jedi along with myself are all from Maynooth. Plz try and keep that in mind if ur planning on banning Maynooth. Ta....

DeVore

Fury, thats the only reason we haven't just turned off Maynooth already. Perhaps if you know these guys you could have a quiet word with them and let them know this isnt their sandbox. Thanks.
We'll do everything we can to avoid that situation but Dan and I have jobs and as simple as it is to mass delete and ban the user (its about 3 mouse clicks using the administration page) its easier still to just wallop the domain. Sickboy and others were locked out from Dell for the summer because of WeePee. Its a late resort but if you look at other message boards (like just about all of the AU ones) they have just about all been abandoned by the real posters because the admins let the muppets loose.

We'll see how things go, but it might not hurt to talk to these blokes in person, they probably follow the usual trend of muppets and will shrivel the second the protection of their keyboards is stripped away...

Banning Manooth isnt about to happen just yet.

DeV.

RFK

Cyril, you got Dell banned cos you did nothing but post ignorant abuse for months. And in case you think it was all harmless stuff like calling people names, I think some of us remember what you posted to Toulouse some time back.

So dont get up on your high horse when another bunch of morons take after you and start acting the a$$hole.

Bunny

Tom

Who are these crazy new people who come to the boards and spam and don't talk about quake???? Thats us. We spam. We write idiot posts with lots of smiley faces. We write up msg's to our mates, meet in pub, where are u? etc. We ***** fight with each other all the time. We don't ignore any of the 'quake sucks' msg's..nono we have to reply to them and badger them. We do the same to anyone new. We all hate peewee, never will he post again yeah?? heh. We were all gonna kill daa when we saw him. We were never new ourselves, we're always just 'been around' blah blah blah

I would show you soooo many posts, I remember them...so ****ing many, new people badgered from the start, but you know I am too lazy. Don't ****ing make me do it. How do I check old posts again?

Hobbes

Never seen bunny so worked up before. normally he's so relaxed and laid back. (insert smiley face here)

Careful Tom he'll do it!

amp

As a usenet veteran, I've learned to ignore the ****e cos the people who actually make up the culture or whatever of the board/newsgroup are the ones that stick around and read the posts.
Face it, just like the junk mail in your door and the crap that falls out of your magazine, spam is just a part of life.
