yes, they were one and the same, er, wasn't it obvious?

btw fx is only on a holiday, so as to give the mods some peace on the editing and deleting :p

i'll leave this thread up for a day or so for info, then its binned.

Your ball, you can kick it as far down the road as you want, but are you saying you allow multi nic trolls, whose only purpose seemed to be to attack other members (such as Howard Cohodas) incessantly from behind multi nics, back onto the forum after an enforced *rest*? Are you suggesting that fx bandit didn't have 'previous' in/as another incarnation?

of course he had previous, many current members have previous. it all depends on how they behave on the boards, their conduct dictates how long they stay around.

tbh i like fx bandit, but his ott bad language/behavior lets him down. i agree, he stayed longer than he should have perhaps, but if a banned member wants to return there isn't a great deal we can do about that. they will return even if banned and carry on regardless. sometimes it is easy to spot, sometimes not. all very time consuming chasing around after them, i'd rather spend my time here despamming and ridding the board of scams/ads etc.

Yes, but he had previous under other aliases and you knew this presumably?

Yes they can, but it makes more work for the perpetrator at a small cost to the forum administrator. There is not any magic bullet to defend against such things, but a layered approach is almost always a good one.

There are other technology solutions, each with additional work involved by both parties. Kind of an escalating offense and defense. I just thought I would mention the easiest one to implement.
 
Prefer El Cabron to FX Bandit.

Made more sense to me... :cheesy:

yes, none of his others ripped into howard though, howard wasn't about at that time.

vendors are the target of this individual. mr spreadbetting being target no1 previously, so not such a bad thing. as we now know mr sb was not a very honest vendor, who plagiarised others works verbatim and sold them as his own. i see he's now giving away this stuff for free, i hope the owners of the original content take legal action against him.

unfortunatly for howard fx has taken exception to him, this is ok if fx takes issue with the post/method and not the person. we shall have to see how things go on his return, if he does.

el cabron had to be weeded out manually, the system, good as it is, failed to identify and keep him out. so no, there are no magic bullets.

I always knew he was intelligent. That was part of his appeal, until he went a bridge too far.

Give him his due, he sometimes forced me to think more deeply into my conclusions and I gained depth and breadth from it. It's just that his price became too high for the benefit I received.
