Title: Forum Addict Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,357 Location: United Kingdom ![]() | It is a good idea, but i think he tried to make the demands to try and get the forum to be more active, even if he done it the wrong way. Putting him in this miserable usergroup will mostly likely annoy him and he may continue to be a pest to lostgurus maybe by changing his IP , or maybe he has a dynamic ip and registeres a new account each day and then starts to spam.

Title: Benefactor Join Date: Jan 2007 Posts: 110 ![]() | "Miserable user" and "send tachy to coventry" are invaluable. A simple ban can sometimes just wind someone up, but if they're just ignored and get all the forum errors most the time they don't even know what you've done. they continue trying to post, then just give up and piss off. | ||||
