DENIALMICKY

[JeriJet]

Attention Brenda and anyone else who might care !!!

What can we do to get Denialmicky to stop dredging up old "new member" postings from around a year ago.....

Today, so far, it's ten more -- which dilutes the "New Topics" page, pushing toher posts off the page..... He has done over 80 of these now.

This person has done this many times. I have sent Personal Messages to Denialmicky explaining the problem .... other members have PM'd me to say thank you .for trying to stop it ...

What can we do

Yikes

It is getting ridiculous. Now every time there is a new member, I always have to look at the date, before I even dare welcome them. He also will repeat what some members have written word for word.

I don't know what Brenda can do to stop this, because he can just change his username if she bans him.

Did he respond to your private message?

I know it's a problem, but I'm not going to ban him for something as innocent as dredging up old posts. Let me think about this for awhile, and I'll see what I can do.

It's possability this member is a 'spam-bot' and not even an actual person. all his posts are pretty generic with no punctuation. I've seen this on other forums before.

Ryan, It's possible, but I don't think so. He has posted replies to other messages that indicate he actually has some knowledge of The Waltons.

I have sent him a PM about the problem. If that doesn't work, I will take more drastic measures. Thank you for your patience, everyone.

[Ryan James]

Okay! I just found it odd after looknig at his 91 posts thus far he mentions he's from Atlanta, then made another post and said he lived in Mexico City. and it appears he's replied on topics more than once with the same reply or a variation of a previous reply.

Thanks, Brenda and Ryan....

There's definitely something wrong about this fella..... No, he's never answered my PM's..... I simply don't believe he's a true Walton fan and desirable forum member.

At first I thought maybe he was just trying to fit in, but I really do believe he is just messing around and having a good laugh about welcoming people, and quoting what other members have written.

It's hard to ignore him, just for the simple fact that he makes all the other topics go to the bottom, and some people may miss them.

If I'm wrong about my thoughts of him, then I will feel bad, I really will, but Ryan made a good point about this guy saying he lives in Mexico and he lives in Atlanta.

Okay everyone,

After doing a bit of research on this user's IP address, I have decided to ban him at least temporarily.

Hope this helps.

[grtgzu]

I googled him.....this guy gets around....His name alone speaks volumes to me....In my "geek mind", thinking "denial of service"....Thanks Brenda....

[mercantile]

For the record his searches use ' waltonswebpage ', only, from Google searches. True fans would use the proper address, I feel.
I don't think denialmickey is a bot, just a spammer who likes to get banned.

I'm sure Reckless will chase him out of town.. :-)

Woof Woof. grrrrrrrr !

[awesomemixtape10]

what are you guys talking about?




btw, if this person is a troll, I wouldnt make threads about them. If they just want attention theyy will love threads about them..

edit=Oh, "new members" page. I havent been on there for months..

[mercantile]

I thought it was about making it clear that trolling isn't acceptable here? IP banning does the trick; a post or two about why that happened just makes it clearer. :-)
