Fake Bloggers Abusing the Terms Of Service.

IMHO

    

      There has been a recent spate of fake blogging by piesnpies, anti-stalk, and fiksated. These are all the same person blogging under different names. While it is pretty apparent that they are mentally deranged simply from their article "content" they are also indulging in a bit of decption by occasionally pretending to be different people as demonstrated here. Proof that they are the same person? Here, here, and here. Hell if it weren't for the articles UK slant I would have thought they were all products of Tracy Givens deluded brain!

     My point? Well I don't mind people blogging here under different names (hey give all the schizoid personalities free reign I say!) but I think that the attempt to drum up interest in lame articles by pretending to be other people who are supporting your position is disingenous at best and retarded at worst. Certainly deserves a bit of time-out in my opinion and perhaps even a small entry into the TOS? Maybe just a large trolling?

     What do you think of this sort of JU abuse?

I had considered creating a second log-in to make a second blog dealing with entirely game-related topics (FWIW, not really computer or console games, mostly tabletop miniatures, CCGs and RPGs (with dice! not computers)). However, I wouldn't comment on my own articles with the secondary (alt) account, and actually probably wouldn't comment anywhere with it. It would be solely for adding a different flavor of content.
On a side note [/DY], I agree with you about the alt accounts abuse.

I was pretty sure that would be your opinion on this. I mean this sort of thing would lend itself to easy abuse of the "Insightful" system as well.

Thank you for pointing this out, greywar. I hadn't made the connection between them all, but I knew immediately that all of those "stalking" articles were from some deranged mind.

I agree that the admins need to take some action against this person(s) soon. Not only is it ripe for abuse, but the flood of articles in the side bar is getting tiresome.

Oddly, that was enough to get an Insightful from me.

I mean, seriously, I already feel disenfranchised by only being able to hand out ~5 ratings, positive or negative, per day. But I guess I could make multiple log-ins and push an article to the moon? blah

I have a feeling that this is one of the big reasons the automated syndication system is not in place yet.

I think having those three copy articles wasn't exactly right, nor is it when people post gibberish eight times in an evening. But having said that, I also think it's their blog and so long as it isn't hurting anyone I don't see it as being a problem. On the other hand, if anyone wants to make another username or four and run different blogs on different topics with them I don't see that as being a either problem. Unless they deny they are who they are, that's bad. And that's my opinion on this matter. Not that my opinion matters, since Draginol/Frogboy/Brad's opinion is final arond here

Danny, I hereby dub thee the new "flip-flopper"...lol I just couldn't keep up with this one.

And this is an interesting point (was it a point you were trying to make? You didn't actually address it, just mention it in passing). The redeeming qualities in this example are:
1) He doesn't hide that he's the same person.
2) He doesn't (seem to) abuse the fact that he can post multiple comments/give Insightfuls (although he probably has an unlimited amount, so it's not really necessary).
3) er, he owns the site anyway?

' What do you think of this sort of JU abuse?'

I think in the context of the several flavours of abuse flung about here it's pretty benign. It wasn't that long ago that the owner of this site mocked the lack of hate in my posts (sample quote: "Your posts don't have hate. Good for you."), you were kneecapping me, and other bloggers referred to my dispassionate style in crowning me their "robotic Canadian overlord". Frankly Greywar, I think you thought I was somewhat of a pussy by being civilized in online debate. Anyhoo, fuck you and your circle jerk of suicidal drama queens, illiterate fascists, amoral nihilists, and rabid warmongers.

Yours in the celebration of the Christ child,

David, I asked you to email me, and you never did.  Will you please drop me a line?

As far as I can recall, one person having multiple accounts is in violation of the Terms of Service. At least that was the reason that was given for a certain member who was banned months ago (that ban has since been lifted). So I certainly think some action should be taken.

pseudosoldier: You could always make a blog group to post your gaming stuff. It would still be you, and would be part of your main account, but you could post separate stuff there. It would have its own subdomain. For example, chiprj created a blog group to post his military stuff to. I have one that I post my music articles too (the-prog-geek.joeuser.com. Each account can also have one group associated with it. Might be a decent work around.

Thanks for making the case against yourself (and other assclowns) so plain... you have your own site to play on now Davey... what's the matter? no one there loves you?

I guess childish 'nobody loves you' type responses are easier than taking ownership for your actions. I don't see you addressing my point -that the most toxic users here are you and your BlogKlan, and that I bent over backward to be civil - so I guess you agree. Hey, you're the one boo-hooing about JU not getting any blogsite of the year awards; it's because of idiots like you and the rest of your cybersisters that it's impossible to have a reasonable discussion here. And after the crap you and your swarm have thrown at me I have zero obligation to be civil toward you or the rest. Cause and effect.

I consider it my duty to debunk the crap that poses for thought at this nefarious cesspool. Sort of like a truth narc in a den of bullshit junkies. So it's unsurprising - and terribly untroubling - that I'm not so popular here. Some people blog to make special internet 'friends' - me, it's about ideas. Prinicples before personalities. Anyhoo, this is getting off on a rant, and is probably lost on you anyway. I repeat - fuck you, and fuck everything about you and your BlogKlan, Greywar. It needed to be said.

Dramagirl - Greywar is a big boy and doesn't need you swarming in his defense. Men arguing here - now get lost. You've already lied about the contents of one email I sent you, and I think you are mentally deranged in light of your recent suicide threats and bizzaro blogging behaviour, so forgive me if another email is not forthcoming. I find it easy to ignore you and would prefer you didn't stick your nose into every 'conversation' I have here.


I'd wish you both Merry Christmas but you are both amoral pagans,

hmm my point seems to bear out....

I always wanted a swarm!

Can't decide whether I ama right wing neo-con christian or a pagan? Keep em coming Davey-boyo. Doing my cause good every time you open your mouth!

I don't see you addressing my point -that the most toxic users here are you and your BlogKlan, and that I bent over backward to be civil

lol yeah you bent over backwards. Thats why you were trolled through the floor and banned:) Makes sense to me Davey

I repeat - fuck you, and fuck everything about you and your BlogKlan, Greywar.

Such eloquence, and as always supported by loads of evidence and well argued points! The very hallmark of that other board! Thanks for playing in the JU Fiskies! Come back next time! God I love it when trolls come onto an article about trolls and highlight the problem!

I am unwilling and unable to out-asshole you, so I won't respond to your non-response. Ducking responsibility for your actions via sophmoric behaviour seems to be a pattern for you, though. Still no response to my point - that you and the rest of your BlogKlan are the most toxic users here. This isn't about one-upping each other or who can write the snazziest comeback, it's about recognizing a fundamental problem and taking responsibility for *your* actions, which preceded anything I might've thrown your way. Cause and effect.

Don't bother responding with another non-response or more permutations of fuck/jack/ass/stick/smack/tard, just delete this and claim it was a personal attack or spam, like you usually do.

Claiming this,
Still no response to my point

and stating this,
I am unwilling and unable to out-asshole you, so I won't respond to your non-response.

while in the previous post saying this,
I repeat - fuck you, and fuck everything about you and your BlogKlan, Greywar.

doesn't really help your case when you claim this,
the most toxic users here are you and your BlogKlan
.

Additionally, I would guess you lump me into greywar's "BlogKlan." Have I demonstrated an attitude of racism and/or discrimination against certain users? Using the "k" as the beginning letter of "clan" is obviously an allusion to one of the Ku Klux type. Are you attempting to cast those sorts of accusations at us as a group?

Finally,
Don't bother responding with another non-response or more permutations of fuck/jack/ass/stick/smack/tard, just delete this and claim it was a personal attack or spam, like you usually do.

Are you so bold as to claim that *this* wasn't a personal attack or spam?

Of course not! coming onto someone elses blog and saying "Fuck you!" is the height of saintly restraint! Well at least it is indicative of the folks over at that other site. I guess they just don't get much traffic over there compared to JU so they feel the need to pop over here to get their fix:) Thats fine though. Pump up my stats some more Davey!

Ahhh, the swarm arrives, how terribly unpredictable LW, you're the most toxic of them all; your jig is up, that's why you have to beg and guilt people to comment on your articles these days. I'll be the first to see you off in your planned blogging 'retirement'!

Pseudo - don't know who you are, but your efforts at 'thinking' are cute'! Work hard, and you may come up with a rational thought someday. Now get bent; this doesn't concern you.

As per usual, LW, I will give your comments all consideration due to a (take a deep breath) KKK, terrorist, mentally imbalanced, non-medication taking, government parasite, angry, psycho, bitter, uneducated, ex-con, cokehead, former stripper, hacker, online fraud artist, self mutilating, character assasinating, self-admitted online troll, death threat spouting, homosexualist marrying, racist, stupid, belligerant, xenophobic, intellectually dishonest, nihilist, pagan, etc. etc. individual.

Getting back to my original point, it is incongruous for Greywar to be calling out other bloggers for 'abuse' when he and his sisterhood are the worst offenders by far.

a fine example of a rational argument! So succintly devastating in it's logic and completeness! Again I am astounded by the adroit manner in which you defend your points with mountains of evidence! Why I must have run AMOK on YOUR blogsite spewing profanity and posting 3 page long cut and pastes! Funny I don't recall doing any of that... oh wait... that was you on MY blog:) And it was that sort of behavior repeated endlessly that got you banned:) Thanks for playing though Davey... I love to have moonbats prove my points for me.

Hmmm...so, I threatened suicide, huh?  That's news to me.


I'm going to refrain from commenting on anything else he had to say.  He's supposed to be non-existent to me.  I will say this tho:


David, you stop talking about me here, there and elsewhere, and I'll stop 'sticking my nose in' to your conversations.  I think that's more than reasonable.

This kind of thread is typical of JoeUser, constant childlike bickering. It is pathetic. Little Whip and DramaGrl are the worst offenders, snooping around looking for a blogger not on their guard to harass and slander. Little Whip is the biggest problem JU faces, she is the Rasputin of the community, exerting an evil influence of half-truths and ignorance. What makes this worst is that it is presented as intellectual thought! For example, recently when she claimed that half of all British Muslims saw Bin Laden as a "hero".

JoeUsers are all leeches, sucking away at Wardell's bad business sense. I cannot understand why he would run at a loss to finance this witch hunt that is JoeUser. Whether its Little Whip looking to see off true debate, DramaGrl coercing others into false sympathy with her depressed rants, or PoofterBoi looking to censor anyone that doesn't wave the pink flag and think HIV is something noble.

To top it all off, you having Jewish retard Moanopeace to write incomprehensible nonsense about me, and exert himself on women by pretending to be their "Grandpa". If hell were online, its address would be JoeUser.com!

well according to Alexa JU "hell" seems to have a lot more traffic than your site SPM. I am guessing that is why you feel the need to come here. No audience for you over on your place:)
