Banning proxy IPs isn't panel abuse.
And they probably won't. 90% of the Guest posts there are from regulars like Chum Li or Fashionista. They'll enable Guest posting for themselves in the control panel, post their BS as Guest, and then close Guest posting again.My guest posts still haven't come through Lol
They actively monitor IP addresses of Guests that are browsing the board (not even posting, just browsing), and ban IP addresses that they don't recognize. To do this is an extremely time consuming process. For instance, I have hundreds of proxy IP addresses that I can cycle through, and they'll manually ban them because they don't recognize them as an IP address from a regular. There is no way for them to tell who is behind any given proxy, but they'll ban that address anyhow.
It's actually a sign of mental illness for them to do that, seeing as how time consuming it is for them, but they'll sit there in the background and do just that. I'll do just that just to toy with them every now and then. It drives them crazy.
They may as well just close down the Guest board, since Guests can't actually post there. They just keep it open so they can abuse the mod panel.
It isn't. But maliciously editing the posts of others is.Banning proxy IPs isn't panel abuse.
@LotusBud yoo were the one that said its sooo much betterthan malignant capitalism which isn't true at all.
Yup. Imagine sitting behind the panel 24/7 like the head chank or kieblers, doing nothing but monitoring for IP addresses browsing the board that aren't from the regulars and banning them... On a Guest board of all places. That alone is borderline retarded to anyone that's familiar with running a forum. That's their life though. And if people are browsing through a cell phone, that IP address will regularly change anyhow.Yeah I was regularly IP banned in the past just for browsing.
There's definitely something not right about those Chank chicks....
I'm convinced they're borderline retarded, Fashionista especially.
Nope. They're doing it manually, one by one!Perhaps they're running automatic forum software that bans proxy and/or blacklisted IPs?
Wait you just said that.
Well maybe that's what they're doing even if it doesn't always work.
@rancidmilko I don't know what it has to do with race. Portugal is socialist AND very multi-racial. I do not buy that argument at all.
@LotusBud Portugal is not a good example. You might get the sensation that Portugal is diverse, but it isn't. Less than 10% are immigrants and most of those are whites, coming from places like Eastern Europe. Portugal has a small population, but they're still the crushing majority. Also, Portugal has a gigantic diaspora, some say there are more Portuguese living abroad than in Portugal itself. These people send a lot of money home, which helps the economy a lot. Many Portuguese living in Luxembourg, a very rich country, for example.
And this diaspora comes EXACTLY from the fact that Portugal went socialist in the past and they were broke, like it happens when they're trying to fix things by simply throwing other people's money at it. I worked with many Portuguese in the US and heard the story many times. After Salazar and all the problems with Africa's colonies, Portugal decided to live the socialist utopia, trying to erase the years of dictatorship, but they soon found out that there's no such thing.
And according to some, Portugal's economy is already starting to show some problems that need fixing soon.
"Pressured by its partners on the left, the government focused on increasing incomes for the most vulnerable groups, raising the minimum wage and welfare benefits. While such measures brought short-term political gains, they did not address the economy’s structural problems. If measured by purchasing power parity, the average per capita income in Portugal is the same as in the 10 countries that joined the EU in 2004 – this almost three decades after Portugal joined the European Economic Community. "
See, that's the problem, instead of fixing things for real, they try to "mend" people's lives by throwing away free money that ALWAYS creates spoiled individuals who will NEVER want to work again. Brazil has 1/4 of the population living on welfare today and telling them they should find work instead of relying on the government is almost a crime nowadays.
Without sounding mean, do you get the impression that Fashionista is at least semi-retarded?I dont think Fash is, but I do think she has lived a sheltered life to a degree, thus doesnt know about certain things
It's an act. I've said it before and I'll say it again - most of the posters on there are the same exact person using multiple handles to add another personality or a supportive viewpoint.

I remember you telling me that. Even thought of you telling me that earlier today lol.
I know you know Kiebers, I know him pretty good too, he owns the place now. I've asked him before about the multiple handle thing, and he tells me hes talked on the phone with a lot of them. Though, there still is a few I suspect. So you are prolly right about some of them.
All of the logged in regs there are different people.Who would you say is a dual? I was convinced that Gaon was at first, what with him being supposedly from Israel and how he miraculously turned up just after I left.
I mean, how often does that shithole get knew members? One a year or something? Lolz
I believe Gaon fictional. The Air Condition expert in Canada.Without sounding mean, do you get the impression that Fashionista is at least semi-retarded?I dont think Fash is, but I do think she has lived a sheltered life to a degree, thus doesnt know about certain things

thats because yoo are rich@LotusBud yoo were the one that said its sooo much betterthan malignant capitalism which isn't true at all.
Well, I've actually lived in both countries, and I lived in 5 different states in the US. I'm here to say Portugal is better. Alrighty, then. I'm done with this contest.
