Guest Fox235 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 LS...Can you just ban them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvolutionSFox Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 No. He needs permission from the Admin which is DZ who would be exceptionally favorable at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArwingMaster Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Ah, just wait till he gets here, hopfully they'll be gone. I wonder what he'll have to say about this though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avanriner Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 A mod thought that I was from SA. I suppose it was a bad idea to make my first post a joke post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvolutionSFox Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 ^ Tell me no one else is falling for that. Please. I mean, it's impossible for them to come at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArwingMaster Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well whatever the case, DZ will disabel the account. If avanriner is a real person, then he'll just e-mail DZ and everything will turn out okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I have disabled all accounts that have registered in the past 2 days as well as locked down new registration. Tomorrow, I will put up an htaccess file to redirect SA's users from the forum. If they really want to come harass us, this will onyl slow them down, but it may stop a few of them.

Infinity Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Very, very nice quick thinking DZ. Edit: ESF and LS forgot to mention ya too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 These people can't read. I set it to admin activation in within an hour, my inbox get's like 5 or 6 new member notices..... So, I had to go to phpbb.com and get a real registration disable mod which is now installed and in effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeWalker Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Aw damn, I posted my response to this in the wrong forum. <.< Uh, well, anyway, I'm of the mind that we freaking deserved it, and no one had better go trying to flame them. Because you will fail, and it will only get worse (because they think they're better than everyone). Just leave them the hell alone and this fad will pass. In other news, a YTMND with ESFox? Link plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Fox Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Man it's like a catch 22. Either a game company creates realistic and sometimes really attractive characters and people make jokes about how someone who plays the game is sexually obsessed with a particular character. Or the game company makes entirely non realistic characters and then get bashed that the game is too fake looking or is too kiddie looking. But those that complain will always have something to complain about. JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 ok...I leave for some time and I found the forum being attacked by some stupid page...oh great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig11 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Anyways, I'm glad they missed the "mega-krystal fanart topic" We would have been trashed there Yes, and nothing about ESF either.. Something Awful is Something Awful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 And thus ends the discussion of SA. Let's try to put this incident behind us. I know many of you did not see it. The good thing that came from this is that it showed how the staff responds to mass spam incidents. I'm glad we have such an execllent mod team here. The mods were able to effectively contain the troll posts untill I shut down registration and disabled those accounts. Great job, guys. Remember, when these things happen, don't feed the trolls and let the staff handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
