This guy's post may be a shill for the company, so keep an eye out.

I guess I'm especially sensitive, as we had a news item submitted a few days ago (which I deleted) claiming to be a mother of three who thinks a particular game her son plays is unacceptable (the Who's Your Momma or whatever game where you play cards that insult the other guy's mother, by the Wayans brothers). It looked like a total shill ("Come check out the game at www..."), so my shilldar may be extra sensitive.

I also added a warning to the guy's post, since the site is very offensive to many and definitely NSFW.

Nope, it's not a shill. Goldar is Brahmulus. I had my suspicions after reading this portion:

Quote:
"I also have a concept where revenge can be taken against people who make snap judgements and abuse power. I havent narrowed it down much yet, but lets say there is a person who has offered a great deal to a community and recieved much praise from many for their ideas and help, but then one person in a power position (or at least they think they are in a power position) singles out that person for personal reasons and comes down on them hard in a cowardly way, even to the point of depriving the rest of the community from the incredible contributions that they have made for a long period of time. The players would then somehow be able to take a terrible revenge on the arrogant and bitter abuser when they least expect it. Maybe call it "Revenge on Highway 10" or something. "

I'm not sure what incredible contributions he's made, but it seems that he has crossed the line from being a whiny jerk to openly threatening another community member. I'm not sure how to proceed.

I know for a fact that Goldar = Brahmulus because he sent me a PM that was a response to my last post. It was actually an ok post, without the rude streak of his other posts. Too bad he didn't morph into the polite version of himself.

I sent him this IM:

However upset you may be at your membership in the site being revoked, signing up with a new account was probably imprudent. But, threatening physical harm against someone is potentially a criminal action. That was very, very foolish. I'm going to delete your thread from the forums. Do not ever do this again. I assume that your 'Goldar' account will be deleted, but I'll let the other admins make that call.

Your PM note to me was in a much more polite tone, and had you adopted that from the get-go, things would have gone much better for you. I wish you had switched to that posture with your new persona in the forums, rather than threatening someone.

No reply from him as yet.

What the? He's a fucking lunatic, all he contributed is his oversized ego and shitty know-it-all attitude. Yay for internet drama!

Wow, neat, nice threat, that.

So what to do about "Goldar"?

And for that matter, why doesn't IP banning work? Useless feature, that, if it doesn't actually prevent anything.

Let it go. Ignore it. It's not too bad.

Trolls crave attention.
