What about an IP ban?

Possibly available to Admin but not mods.

Simple enough for him to do, pointless banning accounts if they're just gonna rejoin with a different name, kinda defeats the purpose, if anyone is to get banned should be an instant IP ban, saying that you can easily get around that with a VPN but I very much doubt people will bother for a fishing forum but you never know..

haway then i give in

Internet Protocol Address (or IP Address) is an unique address that computing devices use to identify itself and communicate with other devices, Basically, a VPN is a private network that uses a public network (usually the Internet) to connect remote sites or users together. Instead of using a dedicated, real-world connection such as leased line, a VPN uses "virtual" connections. A VPN works by using the shared public infrastructure while maintaining privacy through security procedures and tunneling protocols.

Sorry like he didnt attack your business in anyway...He said let the tills do the talking he never put Moonfleet down in any way whatsoever!! He called you a c*k and said youre arrogant yes..But not much different to you calling mick ball less and a keyboard warrior bitch in my opinion...So I guess different rules apply to different members...if people cant take a bit name calling on the internet from a random person then there is something seriously wrong...people that dish it out should be able to take it simple as

I'm guessing you didn't see a lot of what he posted me and another mod were deleting his posts as he was posting them. He'd been warned previously about being abusive. It was in a thread that he had no positive contribution to make to, other than to dish out abuse and veiled threats.

I saw more reported posts in one night about him than probably the rest of the year put together

respect to moonfleet for not asking for the thread to be removed and not asking for him to be banned or actually reporting anything he posted, Thats was entirely a descison by mods

IP address bans are not that effective these days, they change frequently with every isp and add to that all the mobile devices folks use, logins from work etc etc, they make little difference

Thanks for that mark the mod,
I have nothing to hide but am quite willing to stand up and say I would be happy to recommend this guy be banned for life, if he has been previously warned it beggars belief that he carried on, I saw personal insults on another forum member that were disgraceful,
If more of the dross were kicked off then maybe anglers with passion would prevail.
Kick him off for life

I was very active in the topic and nothing I seen apart from the calling of a c*k was that bad and i will say again he never put moonfleet as a business down in any way so mods must have been pretty fast and im 90% sure that no mod was active during the beginning of the topic!! And Paul im not disputing your shop or how helpful you are and I myself like to help new anglers myself which is why i take my 5 year old daughter fishing!!
The same can be said which your reply to the original op of the deleted topic, new comers to the sport or forum would have seen your reply to his post and thought f that im not going shopping there..as said i have seen a few topics where you have said you are fine with a bit criticism but as soon as people do you dive straight on them with "keyboard warrior" or "grow some balls" etc when that could be seen as immature after all as you say...you dont know that person as marco didnt know you so why throw personal insults about

Fair enough if he's been warned enough but same should go for certain members that provoke him to bite,I seen one member provoking him in practically every post, A personal insult is a personal insult...its only as bad as the victim makes it out to be and in my opinion especially being the site sponsor you should act in a more professional manner with customers wether they mention a problem to your face or on a forum, Im damn sure a lot more people would have been happy to see a post from you with no personal insults to the op....as said i dont care what people call me "its the internet" Yes im opinionated but i get on with anyone and have no problem with anyone on this forum

Probably why your not a mod, impartiality has to come into play, the moderator has already put you in the picture stating comments were made with no positives and no fishing content, I suggest you read the comment by mick303, I took it on myself to "explain" not excuse the circumstances behind the initial grievance , the individual decided to hurl a tirade of abuse on me and my company, enough said, maybe your rose tinted spectacles have a smudge on them and need cleaned.
I put it to you, had this been you on the receiving end it WOULD be different

I stand by my comment, he should be banned for life, statement made in public gallery

I agree with you,to a degree.His nemesis on the thread,is just as bad,as they
both have to have the last word,so it goes on and on and on,and is generally
peurile tit for tat.The difference is,the other fella moderates his language,so
arouses more irritation than anger,unlike marco.

[OuTkast76]

Probably why ive never asked or been interested in being a mod either See what i mean I have said nothing untowards about you and you try and throw your petty little remarks in...Try and read yourself marko said nothing bad about your company FACT..you cant take any criticism whatsoever,And for info i dont wear any spectacles rose tinted or not Im a grown adult i have been given abuse plenty times on the internet and to my face and as said if i give it i can sure as hell expect to take it,simple fact is that you cant take it but can sure dish it out, and im damn sure if the topic was about any other shop other than the site sponsor then it wouldnt have been deleted either..theres another fact

Totally agree Billy especially when youngsters are reading but wether someone gets called a cok or a keyboard warrior bitch its uncalled for either way so whats good for one should be good for EVERYONE...as said ive seen topics like that about other tackle shops that havent been deleted, A mod said before it was moderated and bad content removed...so why was the topic deleted? site sponsor thats why
