    Solved Antagonized by a member who's been banned many times

    Post by Ben_is_easily_amused December 8th 2014, 5:48 pm

    We've banned Andrea Borman from our forum many times, but she keeps signing up again under other user names to antagonize me and other users.

    Here's her latest work:

    Is there anything we can do besides constantly monitoring new members and banning them when they turn out to be her?

    I've done that at least a half-dozen times. She unplugs her router, gets a new IP address and does it again, over and over.

    Ban her usernames, email addresses, and IP addresses.  That is basically the only thing you can do.  You can have it where you have to approve the new accounts before they can log onto the forum.

    Hi I am Andrea Borman the member that Ben is talking about. Yes I did get banned by Ben who is the admin of Newsfix forums, but it wasn't for doing anything bad. I was banned for a silly reason, as they have this rule on there that you are not allowed to talk about pet topics. 

    So I was banned because I posted about being banned from other forums, Which is against their rules. But I admit I did not take any notice of their terms of service when I joined.

    But there are many other members who have been banned from that forum. Also many other people sneak back in after being banned. So I am not the only one who was banned and created another account. It's just a joke and my mates on other forums think it's very funny. Some forum admins don't see the funny side of it, that's all.

    No No No. I am not starting a flame war. I am simple responding to the OP's comments. Since when should an admin name a member by his username anyway?

    The OP was just describing the situation.  There is no need to respond.

    @Andrea BormanA set of rules are made for each forum by the admin this has nothing to do With FM (US)  if the Admin of any forum feels it right to ban a member for what ever then it is down to them FM Do not have any power over who that Admin has on there forum.

    APE

    @Ben_is_easily_amused You will have to ban all the Following to keep a member out
    Email Address, IP Address, Username,

    APE

    To end this Right now before it becomes a War over some thing so silly i will lock this thread.
