Post by: saddad on March 28, 2009, 19:21:32
Shame that TGG seems to want to clog up the site as he can't get along with anybody... All of these could be interesting threads, but all at once... are we really to believe he is a "Newbie" and not our previous TGG...  :-\

I wondered if Dan had put him on moderation until he's made n civilised posts hence the rash of 'what variety' posts?

Think your right saddad.
I have resisted the urge to reply as these pests tend to get bored and disappear when they are ignored.
suppose you could compare it to any garden, no matter how good the garden is we always end up with the odd weed ;D

I agree! I usually ignore him so I'll stop replying to his posts and go back to doing that. I hope that everyone else does the same as I'm sure that's the only way he'll get fed up and go elsewhere.

Seems this person has been on various gardening websites posting comments along the lines of "what a rubbish greenhouse youve got, mines better" and "my cabbages are bigger than yours, na na na ner ner".

I suspect they have NPD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder which is generally incurable as the person will never admit they are in need of help. So perhaps we should feel sorry for him/her.

 redclanger maybe if you had useful info to add to the conversation instead of offtopic prattle. this board would be a better place.
I still can not understand why you and others insist on attacking other posters and posting offtopic on other peoples threads, but I guess that is why you all got banned or left the bbc garden boards. guess you all just can not learn how play nice.

Ps I guess you, also don't understand that those you talk about  on a public message board, can read what you post about them.

Everyone else can get by with just the one account but trolls eventally realise that people use the ignore button so they create additional accounts so their new posts will be viewed by everyone in the hope of getting a reaction out of the people who had previously chosen to ignore them.

A general reminder while on the subject of trolls.
As well as the ignore button there is a 'report to moderator' button for any offensive/inappropriate posts & 'report to admin' button for offensive/inappropriate PMs.

to bad you and others don't know that you are  the idiots.
Your freind cleo on tomato thread even admitted it.
But since you have nothing better to do, then posting off topic and uninteresting prattle.
I challenge you to actually post garden related posts on garden plant related threads. Since I do not beleive; you are  capable of do this simple skill. But I could be wrong but I doubt it; from what I can see from your previous posts you all might want to see a mental health prossional or self commit yourselves.

If in your opinion I'm an idiot, I'm quite happy to be so assessed.

You are a very sad sod.  You enjoy nothing more than upsetting decent honest UK gardeners.

'Since I do not beleive' - learn to spell will you ducky.

I think you are the one in need of seeking the help of a 'mental health prossional'.

If you've got nothing better to do, just sod off.

He/she/it has multiple personnalities on the BBC boards asking lots of inane questions, being very critical of answers and getting upset if anyone dares to do the same to him/her/it.
At times it can be quite amusing but mostly annoying and just like a pernicious weed should be drowned in Roundup.

Well of course we understand. What would be the point in calling tgg a complete and utter plonker if he couldn't see the message. Mind you seeing the message and getting the message are two different things.

The main point of this thread is to alert new and genuine readers to the fact that the narcissusistic oversized daffodil masquerades under many different names but is still just a stupid kid. The second point is to get the information permanently archived via Google so that the whole world gets the message for ever more that thegreatgardener and his many clones is not a fit person to be employed.

But when all is said and done silly children are a constant source of amusement.

Ah Bless... he is here again..poor old soul...and so many names, maybe the memory is as bad as everything else so he has to keep getting new names.

I no longer talk to him direct  but will correct his rubbish comments as some newbies  just might not know what he is.

He has been a busy little boy today.

 As ia said earlier the warm weather brings them all out.

Bu the way.. arguing on the net is nothing like Special Olympics. I was the Tricity chair of the  board for three cities in Canada with almost 400 athletes and 200+ volunteers in my care, I am a Floor Hockey coach too, there is nothing so great as watching the  win..and it doesn't matter who comes second, they are all happy. When I get back to Canada in 2 weeks I am going back to work with them again.

The picture(not the words of course) made my day

If you really want to be amused try googling . towerlightning, markferon, thegridgardener, thegreatgardener, also as you see he has added a couple more here. Sometimes he even anwers some of his own questions with his different names.

Loads of other forums either side of the pond have him sussed and his tiresome ramblings just go on the  ignore button.

I do not find it amusing at all on A4A and just wish you would all ignore him and pm any newbies to make them aware of the situation.

It could be that his keepers have given him a computor to play with and do not realise that he is lacking in the social skills that go with being an internet poster. ( I know, I know, Pot, kettle, black)

Please let it all go an- answered before we all start on each other again when he starts stirring, because that could also be the way  he gets his rocks off.

it is posable to trace a poster. via the IP ADDRESS.

there is more to this site than a normal member can see . there is an admin section than can ID a poster comming from the same computor. inother words a name can be changed but the IP ADDRESS does not change.

im sure the ip addy can be blocked on most sites .
 
perhaps the adim bods can tell you more on how they do it on A4A

Some internet service providers do not provide static ip addresses.  I know this because my brothers one changes each time he logs onto the internet, can't remember who he's with off the top of my head.
Title: Re: Blocking
Post by: Baccy Man on March 31, 2009, 22:36:57
Tracing the IP simply takes you back to the ISP not the account holder without a court order no ISP will reveal the identity of an account holder, although a complaint could be lodged with the ISP who may decide the account holder has breached their terms & suspend or close their account.

An IP ban is an ineffective way of banning as the majority of people have a dynamic IP address so a person can simply restart their router and they will get a new IP, thus getting around any IP ban easily. Even if they did have a static IP address there are millions of proxy servers they can use.

Email bans are similarly ineffective as people can just register with an alternate email address.

If people want to make a nuisance of themselves there is rarely a quick solution.

I'm with ACE and Rosebud and Redclanger, and everyone else who says 'ignore'. He only does it to get attention and wind people up - threads like this are precisely what he's after. Presumably.
We should just report any new manifestations to Dan for banning, click the lovely 'Ignore' button for all the existing IDs, and never mention him otherwise, except to privately warn newbies. That way, no reward for the troll...
