Seconded.
The user causing all the problems (repeatedly) is gone, so what reason is there to keep it closed?

Report it and we'll get rid of it. We don't scan every single post that's made here.
Shoulda clarified. There's something called DuckDuckGo (Bot) in the online users schematic at the bottom of the main forum page. Is it an official Toho Kingdom thing orUltramanGoji wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 3:54 pmReport it and we'll get rid of it. We don't scan every single post that's made here.
I'm surprised people still question anything going on, when the dupe/gore situation has been a problem for over a year and public knowledge.

Yeah, thanks for this. I knew about the whole gorey images and I knew that certain user. I just didn’t know the reasoning behind the disproportionate amount of admins.Maritonic wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 5:18 amI'm surprised people still question anything going on, when the dupe/gore situation has been a problem for over a year and public knowledge.
Let's go over this again, one last time...
A user was banned many moons ago. His response was to make dupe accounts and spam violent gore images and other spam messages. I studied funeral directing, I helped at a real autopsy, I have seen multiple bodies in various stages of decay (such as suicide victims). These images that are being posted? They're repulsive. They gross me out. And I do not get grossed out.
Any way, this user made multiple dupes over several months. No pattern in names, not sharing the same IP address (we ban IPs when we ban users), no similar themes in e-mail addresses. Basically absolutely no way to stop it. This happened multiple, multiple times. Usually early in the morning, which was one of the reasons we considered LSD as a moderator because he's always on in the early mornings. It's much easier to catch it as it happens, shut it down, and ban the dupe so users don't have to be exposed to the images that we have to every single time we have to clean up this mess.
We thought with the new user protocols and added staff, this was contained. It was not. It happened again. So I sort of put us into overdrive until we have an ironclad solution for stopping it. This meant that any moderator that wanted it could be come admins. That way they had less restrictions in handling the dupes and finding a solution internally to stop it. If you or anyone has suggestions for moderator staff, I will hear them. The more eyes we have on the situation, the better.
No one likes this. No one likes all the restrictions we've had to put on the forums. However, I promise you, you'd like the violent images much less.
As always, if anyone has questions or concerns, they can message me. I'm trying to be as open and clear as I can about this situation, and any situation on the forum.
Yeah, unfortunately the more openly vocal I am about this, the more this individual knows. So I've tried to keep things in private messages. But it just is what it is at this point. The staff and I are always in discussion about this.Voyager wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 10:57 amYeah, thanks for this. I knew about the whole gorey images and I knew that certain user.
