    Ahh cheers.
    I worked it out in the end. I was just being lazy - it's to do with the infraction points.

    Does VB software have some kind of internets naughty step?

    That would seem to be the most appropriate at this juncture.
    Dunno about more recent versions... but you used to be able to moderate a member from their profile... just select to ban them, fuck the length, just make it permanent... there are other mods that may have been installed that can just make it difficult to access and use the forums, there's also a mod for making the member 'invisible' to everyone (so the idiot thinks they're being ignored)... and fingers crossed the board also comes with the security cookies that instantly shown up when a member makes a dup account (although I'm guessing J-Dye ensured that was installed a long time ago)

    Thank you.
    That invisi thing would be fantastic.

    heh heh...Yeah, I had forgot about that "invisible" mod. We used to have some laughs with that one on a board i used to staff at.

    vB and IPB forums came with some brilliant mods for managing troublesome users

    It might be that Dave's half-day tirade got a few people posting here that wouldn't have normally.
    And if there is one thing the lounge needs, it's more people posting stuff.

    Every cloud

    The immense amounts of fun to be had with this are incredible!

    When I used to moderate VB forums, people would get so aggravated at the synchronized ignore, that they'd literally turn paranoid. They'd take trolling to extremes. I remember once, after finally unhiding the member, I had to remove 2-3 DOX's to make sure that while people got the laughs at the stories untold at the time of, they wouldn't actually get worked up over it.
    Ellipses go here.

    I have to admit, I usually do more reading than posting, & his tirades did provoke me into a few responses. That guy needs some serious counseling. Or psychiatric help. Pure obsessive, from what I've seen. Or maybe a Master Troll.

    Yeah, there was some fun to be had, but only at the expense of those who deserved it...

    I'm going more for the Master Troll, who just happens to quite possibly have some deep seated issues too.
