What to do about mgsports...

[ohms_law]

I give up, he won't actually talk to me or anything and it's obvious that he loves all this attention. It would be easy enough to go back to playing whack-a-mole with him, I guess. We've got information now that can make life pretty difficult for him to keep doing this, as well. That doesn't really get us anywhere, though. So, I wanted to ask everyone, before we did anything, what do you think that we should do about him? Leave him alone, and just delete his inappropriate posts? Ban him, and play whack-a-mole some more? what?

All opinions are welcome. Feel free to speak up.

[robinhoodnik]

I've never actually seen any of his inappropriate posts, but I do love Whack-A-Mole.:D
Seriously though, what are the nature of the bad posts? Racist? Vulgar? Threatening physical harm? Are they directed at Mods alone, or at anyone who happens to wander on by?

[ohms_law]

All of the above, over the course of his entire history.

[robinhoodnik]

Is "stuff him into a locker" an option? :)

[robinhoodnik]

1. Push him down and rub snow into his face.
2. Hang him off a coathook by his Fruit of the Looms.
3. Half nelson 'till he screams uncle.
4. Your Knees on his shoulders and drool spit onto his forehead slowly.
5. Purple nurple.
6. A good shunning.

the order of events at the OOTP boards...

some ridiculous thread started by mgsports
21 posts from different people making fun of him or mocking his original post within a few minutes of his starting the thread
no posts from mgsports for a few weeks
rinse and repeat

the mods over there have tried the thread censoring, the short term banning, the long term banning, and the ignoring. the mocking by members seems to work best over there, but with not as many active posters here, it may not work as well *shrug*

BTW - posting this thread in "Problems with the Board" = :D

[ohms_law]

BTW - posting this thread in "Problems with the Board" = :D

I thought that it was apropos.
:D

Anyway, I've got some pretty good info, I think that we could make things pretty difficult for him for a while... doing that is a bit draconian, though. It'd pretty much be an all out war. I'm seriously considering it, however.

Hey, could you recommend some contact names over on the OOTP boards? If I could coordinate with them a bit, it might make things even easier.

[robinhoodnik]

He got some bad habits? Childhood pictures that he'd rather not have shown around? Is he on the high school field hockey team? Rents chick flicks without having a girlfriend? What is it?

[ohms_law]

lol
nah, nothing like that. I know where he's posting from, though. That's all the dirt that I need.
;)

[robinhoodnik]

Reform School? Moms basement? A "Turkish bath house"?

[Clay Dreslough]

Rents chick flicks without having a girlfriend? Did I ever mention that I have a TiVo "Season Pass" to Gilmore Girls and Veroncia Mars?

:eek:

(Dee doesn't watch them. She spends her downtime on Fark, so I guess we have the gender roles reversed in this family)

[ohms_law]

hey, I like Veronica Mars. besides, she's a hottie!
:D

[Clay Dreslough]

No she's not. Dee thinks I watch those shows for the "witty repartee".

[ohms_law]

No she's not. Dee thinks I watch those shows for the "witty repartee".

She's not!?!? I beg to differ!
:eek:

:)

[FRENCHREDSOX]

She's not!?!? I beg to differ!
:eek:

:)

so thats what mgsports looks like!

[ohms_law]

Maybe I won't go after hi, er... her? afterall.
lol

[ohms_law]

Well, now we just wait and see what happens. I suppose that wishing that he would just give up would be too much to ask for...

[TacoBoy]

Just wondering if Dave The Man was part of this whole mgsports fiasco....

[FRENCHREDSOX]

Just wondering if Dave The Man was part of this whole mgsports fiasco....

nah but he maybe a "kangaroo" playing BM !!

[TacoBoy]

I was just asking because I had seen he got the 'ol heev ho.

[robinhoodnik]

I have to assume that there was originally more to that post than a smart arse request for a video tutorial?

[ohms_law]

It wasn't the post, it was just convenient. If someone wants to restart it, feel free.
*shrug*

[beerchaser]

I'm all for a video tutorial if you can get Veronica Mars to do it... preferably naked.

[ohms_law]

lol

[FRENCHREDSOX]

I'm all for a video tutorial if you can get Veronica Mars to do it... preferably naked.

But VERONICA MARS is Mgsports .... so she COULDNT do it NAKED as she is BANNED/CENSORED!! :( :(


Ban the Banner for making us miss out on this UNIQUE OPPPORTUNNITY!
& imagine the loss of all the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the forums too...

[nuzzy62]

I think you should send MG to Nice, France so 'she' could get a proper lesson.

[ohms_law]

You know... I just reread this thread and I think that I got Clay into trouble with Dee.
:eek:

lol

[metsguy234]

lol

Who was this mgsports guy and what did he do????

[ohms_law]

Dave

[HoustonGM]

Dave
Is this certain?

[Reade]

I guess he didn't mean Super Dave Osborn!:rolleyes:

[ohms_law]

...pretty much. If you do a 2 deep IP search against all of the various user names, there's quite a bit of overlap now. Letting him get away with posting for a while there helped.

[HoustonGM]

Interesting

[metsguy234]

What did he do though?

[HoustonGM]

Spam

[ohms_law]

It's all been deleted now, but:

what are the nature of the bad posts? Racist? Vulgar? Threatening physical harm? Are they directed at Mods alone, or at anyone who happens to wander on by?

[boomboom]

notice how Dave didn't respond. I love it!
