BobbyRay Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) I haven't been a member that long, but I have been soaking in all of the good (and bad) info from various people on this site. Just ten minutes ago, I was logged in and was in Harlemite's new "confirmed areas" thread. When i entered it, it had ratings of 85% and had two gold stars. Every one was posting great stuff in there too and it IS a VERY good topic that might even deserve a pin. However, while I was in there I reloaded the page after about 2 minutes (literally) and it was voted down to 53% by this time. I then noticed various accounts log in, vote it down, and then swiftly leave within a few seconds time. Here are a list of the accounts that were logged in less than a few seconds and then logged out: 1. ni**ermeat ---(they had the two g's spelled out instead of like that) 2. yodafaces 3. orangetangsunkist 4. Scousewoman 5. ToRo 6. tinymonkeysfight 7. largemonkeysfight 8. trixr4kidz 9. cocoapuffsmmmm 10. cocoapebblesmmmm 11. pirateogta1 12. pirateogta2 13. pirateogta3 14. Lip 15. Ninjagta 16. GTA4Freak2007 17. flagday Something needs to be done now! This is beyond f**ked up.

Helsinki Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 It was a good topic, but those people didnt break the rules. Those people? More like 'that person'. Creating several accounts is against the rules, I think.

BobbyRay Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 All i know is that each and every one of those accounts I listed voted that thread down. And if you were here a few days ago, the same sh*t happened with faruggias "living city" thread and also Harlemites "real[this]time" thread. I was there with quite a few other people, but we didn't catch any of the accounts. Those past threads all got voted down from having two stars and dropped below 50% in a matter of minutes. I was there this time to witness that sh*t and I plan on reporting that sh*t to a few mods.

MysteryGamer Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Immature kids I wish there was a forum on here for adults 18+ although age ratings can vary in some countries this is still a mature game! simple as. I don't understand why 13 years olds are aloud to post here. Is it really needed to rate a topic bad? I occasionally rate a topic good but I am not a jerk if I think a topic is crap (let's face it there are A LOT here posted daily) I don't feel any need to rate a topic bad I just leave it or usually do not post in that topic.

BobbyRay Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) It goes beyond one topic people. last week, Transporters clothing discussion thread was voted down from like 75% down to 40%. later that day harlemite started a new thread an it got voted down from 60% (it was new) to 30%. Then farrgias thread titled "living city" was bumped from like five pages back and then it got voted down from 84% to 50%. then out of the blue two topics were created that day that were exact copies of harlemites and farrugias thread and were voted to over 80% each within a few minutes time of them being posted. Me, Harlemite, Transporter and a few others witnessed all this sh*t going on, but we couldn't catch any account names in time. Now that same motherf**ker did it again and I happened to catch him in the act. I PM'd a mod and he said he's handling it. I hope they can figure out who exactly is doing it instead of just simply banning those accounts. because there were a few i missed since the names were popping in and out so fast at the bottom of the thread. This isn't something to joke about guys. this is a very serious problem to these forums. all those topics, including the one posted by Harlemite today were/are extremely great topics and it's f**ked up what has happened. I pray they can really dig and uncover some sh*t.

Suction Testicle Man Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 All accounts have been banned, they were steadily registered since earlier this year - this guy has been spamming us since January 06. There's little we can do, but thanks for your concern all. Keep reporting users/posts when you can and we can keep the forum clean. Moved to GTA Network Team.

TubbyJ Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Oh, god damn it. Harlemite worked hard on that sh*t. What the f*ck? Those people are complete assholes. Those were all awesome topics. That was some timing, huh? A few seconds too late and you wouldn't have caught them. Thanks for reporting, BobbyRay. But now we have to worry about those assholes creating a new username, and they may want revenge. Thanks to Suction Testicle Man, and to all the other mods who banned those f*cks.

BobbyRay Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 I just PM'd harlemite with the bad news. I know he worked VERY hard on that new thread of his. i hope he takes that sh*t well considering that's the second time it's happened to him I'm also going to PM farrugia and transporter too and let them know what's up. man, it's true that ratings do mean sh*t, but come on. that's f**ked up. Hopefully that guy won't be able to come back. if he does and you notice a thread rapidly dropping, get the names and report that sh*t like I did.

MITCHELL23 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I agree, Harlemites posts are well thought out and entertaining, perhaps we can be comforted by the fact that the kind of person who would go thru that trouble to lower a post has self esteem issues and probably will not be much of a success in life Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/280619-everyone-needs-to-read-this-now/#findComment-4277322 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat. Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Imo, the whole "rate topic bad" system should be removed. Nothing against rating a topic good, but c'mon, if you don't like a topic then just leave. No one's forcing you to read it. Oh well. I was a victim of this asshole back when I had a story in Writer's Discussion. Got 2 gold stars, then he rated it down to 45% if I remember correctly. And am I the only one that thinks Bobby could be the guy doing all this, just trying to get rid of all those accounts to seem less suspicious? Edit: Oh.. He's busted.. Edited June 4, 2007 by Pat.

Suction Testicle Man Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Turns out BobbyRay was Harlemite, and probably the same sad bastard behind the rest of those 50-odd accounts I just banned.

Vanzant Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) OH SNAP!!! Banned right after my post. I'm right again. I didn't however think he would have been Harlemite though. Think about it though there's NO way somebody would have just noticed that many buggy names. And if people are sitting in threads staring at a topic rating thats a sign to quit and bury yourself.

bump222 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) @BobbyRay Buddy, who gives a sh*t if a topic rating goes down? What does that mean? Nothing, it means nothing at all. You are complaining about the stupidest and smallest thing that does not mean anything. Get a life buddy. And for the record, the person who drops the topic rating should get a life too. EDIT I just rated this topic "bad" because it's so pointless.

Suction Testicle Man Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Right, count officially stands at 112, unless I find another load on a different IP range. Something tells me that he posted in order to get caught (after I banned the accounts he first reported, he kept PMing me mentioning there must be a bigger scheme to all this, hence me IP'ing him), so maybe he's going to spend another month registering another 100 accounts so he can down-rate his own topics.
