why did you do this.

Congrats!

Yaaaay. I should change my user title or something.

Tradition dictates that you now start a silly power-tripping thread in which you edit other people's posts for your amusement.

I can't think of anything to start the thread with, or what to edit into people's posts. Reminds me of the time a mod somewhere put "drops [username]'s pants in my post, though. By the way, would changing my user title to "Mod-oka" be too dumb?

Given how many pun threads we probably have, do you really need to ask? :p

Suddenly, I think I should change my avatar to MODOK for a similar pun, even though I don't really know about him.

Step 1. of a heinous plot to combine the forces of IJBM and HH into some sort of abhorrent complaining and trash dumping chimera?

Wouldn't that be going backwards? I mean, that's basically what IJBM used to be.

Also, this is more because we've had a few cross-site moderation issues before. They're not official full-time (so to speak) mods, but I'm doing this in case issues like those come up again. For what it's worth (and just to fit further into your conspiracy theory) I'm now a mod at HH as well. :D

Though in the same advisory capacity though. Not full-time.

Do non-full-time mods still get princess tiaras?

Why?

Because from what we could tell, this appears to be a troll.

What was their name on TVT again? I think they said it was "sadpanda", but I couldn't find any posts or edits from such a troper.

That's correct. Claiming to be a Troper who didn't exist was the first thing that made us suspicious that maybe he wasn't just that stupid.

Oh well. Have a good one, dude.

How was he a troll? All he did was write abysmally.

Fursecution-type furry, several threads were he mentioned casually punching teachers and knocking his little brother out cold, a please-respond style of posting: he behaved like a bad parody of a troper-but he overshot the mark by typing like Tnu so no-one bothered to read his posts.

There's only two possibilities - 1) obvious troll 2) a really bad case of Asperger's/autism

To be honest, he stuck with his shtick for long enough that if he were a troll, he should've realized it wasn't working out and try something else. I think he was just weird.

He just seemed really hopelessly awkward. Lil dude needed a fwiend... and a therapist, probably :V

Other things he did: at one point he claimed to be ragequitting, and then someone with a nearby IP tried to make an account. When we confronted him on this, he admitted that it was him, then changed his mind and claimed that it was actually his brother.

man, what the hell.

Man, this forum's so weird nowadays. There are only bans once in a blue moon, but when there are they're for the pettiest reasons.

I didn't mind the kid's presence all that much. He needed improvement, no question, but he didn't once appear to me as a Chagen waiting to happen. I messaged him myself to give him the rundown on this place just in case he somehow did.

okay so he did kinda redflag lololol

In addition to the huge amount of questionable behavior he showed on the forum proper, there was also a lot of stuff that was mostly visible to/noticeable by the mods. For example, between the three or more accounts he tried to register before the ban and the three more he's tried to register since, not one has had a valid email address. And they were all invalid in the same way, despite his claims that the two alts he tried to register pre-ban weren't the same person.

I am curious what other bans have seemed petty to you, though, CA.

Shame that, kid seemed okay. Though I may be biased since he was a fellow Scot!

Looks like they're on TVT now. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Dronepeanut

...So he claims to be someone not called Dronepeanut on TVT when he makes an account here, then makes an account there called Dronepeanut. Wut.

I vaguely recall there being a person named sadpanda on TVT when I was there. If you wanted to be absolutely sure, there is a tool on TVT that you can use in conjunction with a certain exploit to see all the accounts he's ever made there.

Well, as far as I see, this is just overseas drama at this point. We should probably let this it as is now.

I'm talking to him now, actually. He claims that someone else used his name at some point. This is all very... odd, to say the least.

By request.

congratulations.avi

YouTube embeds work in Activity? o_o

I was just as surprised as you are. >_>

Woo!
