I am a moderator on a forum. (not mentioning it's name, as the other moderators don't agree with me on this)
Our forum used to be relatively peaceful until a former member from this site, Phizzy, registered and started flaming everyone and posting offensive pictures. I have banned him several times but he keeps coming back with new accounts.
Now, I know you had a problem with this guy, but you seem to have solved it. How did you stop him from terrorizing your forums?

Why? Are you a friend of him?
Seriously, this Phizzy guy is a big problem for our forum. Normally I wouldn't look outside for help, but in this case I really need it.
TBH it wouldn't surprise me if you were Phizzy.
Same thought occurred to me.
Seems rather odd that someone just happens to know that Phizzy is the same person under different usernames in his forum, and that he was here at one time. >_O
I said in my first post I'm not saying what forums because the other mods disagree with me getting help outside for this. Learn to read will you?

I know they're all Phizzy's accounts because he behaved exactly the same on all of them.
I knew he was here because another member of the forum also posts here. No, I won't tell you who because I protect my sources and I don't want him to get in trouble with Phizzy's friends here.

Funnily enough, no answer...
Dude... Give me some time to answer, I'm not sitting here 24/7. Anyway Phizzy has been rude to several of our members and posting offensive comments. Several of our members have left the forums because of him, including one moderator. The guy running the forum is seriously considering shutting it down just because of the hassle Phizzy is causing us.
And yes, I'm sure you find it very funny accusing me of being Phizzy, but that doesn't help me anyway.
Well let's be honest, you're not exactly helping yourself are you? You say he's been causing trouble but you won't say what he said. You say it's on a specific forum but you won't say which one. You say he's causing people to leave but the other admins don't seem to think he's a problem.
Whether you're him or not, you won't get much back from us if you don't give any! Atleast mail me the forum thread and i'll go take a look see, then you won't get into trouble. The mail function is on the left of the screen, or failing that click on my avatar and then click on the 'send Mark Radon a mail' link on the right hand side.
A) Close your open registrations, so that you need moderator approval before you again posting privileges, which increases burden on moderators, and screws everyone over, because elsewise he can either take simple steps like using proxies and new accounts, or:
B) Stop being so god damn butthurt. If your community can't take one troll, especially a good natured one of all things, then thats pretty pathetic. Allow me to be the first to say "The problem is entirely in your head". If you don't pay him heed, you'll need none. If you choose to appreciate wry humor instead of being offended, then theres no issue.
If some members of your community are that fragile or egotistical, let it be on them

That post really made my day
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
Doesn't sound like it's something Phizzy would do. Phizzy's more of an attention-loving rebel type, he doesn't exactly go around terrorizing small forums. Vandalizing Wikipedia, burning effigies of Mitch, now that sounds more like Phizzy.
Anyway, Phizzy's been deleted. Not exactly banned. He's got a dynamic IP. Just delete him. He doesn't like it. It's like spraying water on a cat.
Also, since you're not providing accusations without any proof, it looks like you're trying to slander him here. That's not looked upon very kindly by TDC, so you'd have to forgive everyone for acting a little hostile.

We delete his posts on sight. There's nothing to show.
But to my understanding he's been doing the same thing here. Why is it so hard to believe that he's trolling another forum? Do you really need me to spell out what he's done?
No offense, but if I'm gonna send the forum link to some person I don't know, then I might just as well post it here for everyone to see...

theres a small difference between trolling and attacking. Sounds like you're just being collectively butthurt
If you don't want to trust us with who you are and why you are here, then why be so vain as to expect us to help you. For all we know, you're the Master Fuhrer of some Neonazi forums that Phizzy has been spamming Furnazi pictures on. And why in god's name would we help you if that was the case?
"he doesn't exactly go around terrorizing small forums"
Phizzy says something to piss someone off and it triggers an arguement, which in turn disrupts the forums for a week or so at a time.
I'd like to say I can foresee this thread turning into a heated "debate", but it wont; it will just be those who actually care about the TDC forums and making games, arguing against those few Phizzy fans who linger around all day, being completely unproductive and posting comments such as "Phizzy's awesome, TDC isn't complete without him" and other various butt munching comments.
Well if there's nothing to show, just make another thread entitled "Come join our community" and then promote your site - then we can all join and see what the fuss is about. You won't have to worry about anything since no-one left on TDC is a troll! And you boost your site's community in the process!
I'm not saying i don't believe that Phizzy could be upsetting some people on another site, i'm just saying you're giving nothing and expecting us all to start slagging off Phizzy, when your post makes us think you might be him! Can't you see how dodgy you look to us all??
"i'm just saying you're giving nothing and expecting us all to start slagging off Phizzy, when your post makes us think you might be him!"
To be honest he hasn't asked you to slag Phizzy off at all, he was just asking for advice. Granted it would be nice to have proof of the forums, however.
I was trying to edit my reply, but Dr. James beat me to it.
What i was trying to say was that your request reminded me of that episode of The Simpsons when Chester J. Lampwick - a guy no-one had heard of before! - tried to claim he made up Itchy and yet had no proof, and Lionel Hutz expected the court to believe his side of the story on no evidence.

Yeah, i realised what i'd typed just as i'd clicked Post Reply and tried to edit it, but Dr. James was too quick for me! I wanted to change my post to say that he was potentially and unintentionally going to cause people to start slagging off Phizzy by bringing him up again when he had nothing to offer us.
"You're too lazy to take a picture of the title screen, but instead you make it an application...? And then you suppose people will download it just to see a title screen of your game? Very clever. Let's hope it's not 116 Mb..."
Given the fact this smart(*cough cough* NVM...) acts the same hapless and hopeless way Phizzy does, I really couldn't imagine anyone commenting this way. Plus the fact Phizzy thinks he's SOOOO clever and all that Bullcrap. Honestly. I don't want to flipantly accuse someone for a single comment, and I know it's only one so far. But I'm sure...
Well, I'd have to admire Phizzy for terrorizing this forum without even being here. Lol, now that he's not around, every new account looks like him! He could be lurking anywhere.. even.. in the new guy's pants!
Trolls have always existed before Phizzy. You guys are turning him into an urban legend

Only because your nose is brown with Phizzy poop.
Reported. Please behave yourself in the future..

Kinda what i was trying to say above, though i have no problems with proper debating. My point was this is exactly what i thought was gonna happen by a new person no-one knows starting up again about Phizzy.
Who gives a flying-f**k about him/this anyway? Not me.
The vast majority of the TDC forums is filled with pointless crap.
Anyway there is nothing wrong with debating so long as people don't start trying to force everyone else to shut up or start throwing around personal insults.
Nothing wrong with debates, so long as they're a good topic. Let's face it, Phizzy is not a good topic by any means. This forum has been peaceful over Christmas, I say lock this thread and let this crap pass.
Hey i just read that an employee from Ubisoft has let slip that a new Ghost Recon and a new Rainbow 6 game is due out and could possibly be out this year! Loved Rainbow 6 Vegas and it's sequel - can't wait to play some more!
As I said, Phizzy gets deleted. If he re-appears, starts annoying too many people, he gets deleted again. After a while, he gives up. That's the answer to the original question.
