El Penguin Bobo Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 This seems to be happening to other members as well. The random people that keep following me seems to be new accounts. There's like 7 and 8 of them. I don't know how to post screenshots, but if you come to my profile, you will see lots of new members following me. Ignore the ones with the profile pictures. universetwisters, Ehrmantraut, Bratva Assassin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How original... There is a way to block this as well, Go to your profile (not profile settings) scroll down to Followers and click the little downward arrow and switch it too Don't allow users to follow me and it'll block any future attempts Edited November 3, 2018 by AiraCobra Nico, Bratva Assassin and El Penguin Bobo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I encountered two problems. First, shutting down the list apparently also blocked existing and welcome followers from following. For a while the whole list appeared even deleted (turned out to be a bug however). I'm not sure about this, but the feature is a bit clunky, maybe you or someone else can clarify how these lists are supposed to work? I also felt not comfortable with blocking future interested and legit people from following. Which brings me to ... Secondly, right after shutting down, it occurred to me (again) that ducking away can't be a solution. Another forumer privately even suggested I should maybe keep "lower profile" in general, as one or two of my comments and my generally open minded attitude might have "caused" the unwanted attention. For particularly two days ago, the whole affair had a look of sexual harassment to it, penis avatars and suchlike, and some private messages and all. I see the reasoning in "keeping low profile" (I'm posting less these days anyway, time management issues), I too often applied it, as every woman learns to do, but my inner bra-burning feminist always cries: We don't stand back! Troll doesn't know how to behave, and I should start walking with lowered gaze and covering my hair? - No, I don't think so Maybe we need a feature just to selectively block, or at least hide, specific users from that list, instead of nuking the whole thing?

Guest Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) 17 hours ago, Penguin Bob said: Agreed. I was hoping there would be some kind of block feature on here, but I guess not You can at least block any content from known users (the whole "ignore user" settings). Little help however with accounts usually used kamikaze style for half a dozen posts before being fried, only to be replaced by the next batch. And why banned accounts (as indeed most of them are within ten minutes) wouldn't just go invisible - that's clearly a bit sloppy design on the forum site software, isn't it? Just saying... There is indeed room for improvement here. EDIT: What I mean is, besides blocking posts, messages etc. from a user, we should also be able to block specific user from following us. As a matter of fact, the current selection is contra-productive. While the clutter in the follower lists is complete unnecessary, I in fact very seldom block content; I don't care what this troll writes; report, done. Don't see what's in for the troll there.

El Penguin Bobo Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) So I came back, and some guy named Splitkein PM'ed saying "f*ck you" and some weird ass text art. I think this has something to do with the new accounts following everyone because his account was new, and I disabled followers. Again, I don't know how to post screenshots on here, so I can't actually show you. Edited November 6, 2018 by xXPinguXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bratva Assassin Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) I am experiencing this problem and I think I might know who really is behind all of this nonsense. It could be one person or multiple people. It could possibly be any of the people listed below: 1. Syphn: A troll who I know on Discord. 2. Ceasornator: A guy on Discord who used to have common sense but then he hung out with Syphn, and became a troll. 3. Thom7: I banned him on a website called Real Life Villains Wikia (also known as the RLV Wiki) for accusing students and teachers from his school of wrongdoing and even manipulated me into believing him back from 2015-2016. Additionally, he has also been previously banned on Wikipedia as a vandal from 2006-2008 under different usernames such as Thedec and Declanthebullbull. The guy is a total attention seeker. 4. Caidin Johnson: A notorious vandal on Wikipedia, Wikia, and other websites, who may have come to vandalize this site as well. 5. Last but not least, it could be some troll on Encyclopedia Dramatica, KiwiFarms, or GTA Wikia. Mantiix, SuperMythGangsta, SaxonSword, and DarwinTrollSlayer are just a few names I know from those sites who could be behind this. I also don’t know for a fact that it was any of the above people. For all I know, it could be someone else. There’s just a decent chance it could be any of them. The reason as to why I say all of this is because I know how all of the above people work. Trust me. I hope this info helps the admins, moderators, staff, and users who are also victims of this. Edited November 9, 2018 by ThatKyloRenGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

universetwisters Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Seriously moderators is there any way to get fookinrekt or however it’s spelled to stop making new accounts every day? Disabling the FOLLOW USER system isn’t going to fix the problem, it’s just gonna mute it. kid I know you’re reading this and I get it, it’s boring in the Netherlands and all but for f*cks sake if you’re gonna keep spamming a forum you got banned from a year or so ago then at least engage with others instead of just following people and leaving smh El Penguin Bobo and Bratva Assassin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
