Our newest member
 

I've just looked down and noticed that our newest member's user name is hardcorebondageslut. I have to admit, it made me chuckle. I wonder what she'll be talking about.

Do you ever see the new user names and wonder what they'll contribute, if at all? Do you ever think to yourself, this one is never going to last?

When i see that username...I think of a spammer, or a desperate attention whore who has daddy issues!!

Its so hard to think of usernames sometimes though. i always stick with the generic sun, sparkie, sunspark.

just once - it may be fun to create a takes4bigcocksatatime or a likes2lick_grandpa

maybe THEN someone will listen to my liberal views on welfare.

Hey Sparkie! Long time no see. Been busy mate?

I always take liberal points of view most seriously when they are espoused by hot babes with nasty online handles. Makes sense somehow.

I'd say, does it matter what her/his name is?
Can we look beyond the controversial name and try to get a feel for the posts? That way we can get to know the poster behind the name.

Hard to tell if he/she never posts (which in most cases will happen) but let's not take the poster at face value.

I see your point Spectacle, but if a username is a persons online face, I know what hardcorebonageslut tells me. ;)

I just checked the member list, it ain't there.

Third-world spammers continue to be a problem for us. The practice of not allowing new accounts to start threads has completely vexed them, but they continue to open and (usually) validate new accounts to TRY to post new threads. And they continue to do this at the same pace as they did when they were successful at it.

It's like somebody gave them a script to follow...

Every two-three months I clean out all the accounts that registered and never validated, and all the accounts that registered and haven't logged in months. Hundreds of accounts get deleted, half of them with gobbledygook names, the other half with names like xxviagraxx that give their game away.

UT, I just wanna say, thanks for all your work keeping out the spammers. When I see that little message "This post has been deleted by Undertoad. Reason: spam" I smile. Ha, you low-down spammer, smitten by the mighty hand (webbed foot?) of Undertoad!
Thanks!

Every time you see the "deleted by" message, it represents hundreds of spammers that didn't get that far.

This made me chuckle. I mean, seriously, this was a name chosen...it's not like it's the poster's birth name or something.

If I were in the bookstore, and picked up a book entitled "The Erotic Adventures of Two Horny Sluts Who Love To F***" I would not expect it to be about a boy and his new pony living on the prairie.

You cannot judge a book by its cover, no, but sometimes if it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, and looks like a duck...it's probably a duck. :lol:

It might be. :D

Only if you had written it, Zen.

Rule #3 of the internet:
If you can think it, there is porn of it.

that reminds me of a dvd i saw once:

'Horny sluts who love to fuck cowboys and their horses on the prairie XII'. It was better than the first eleven by that name, IMHO.

so, anyway...i got bored, and went to the members list to check and see if hardcorebondageslut had posted....but theres was no one of that name listed. were you just making it up? or did the admins delete the account...?

That's Rule 34.

Well, you were quick with the citations ... but I maintain that the original sources are mistaken. Do you really reckon the Principle of the Proliferation of Pornography is the 34th law of the internet? Much too high IMHO.
Can you really think of 33 laws that would have come before it?
1. If you can sell it, they will spam it.
2. If a site yells "FREE!" very loudly .. they are trying to sell you something.
...
...
34. If you can think it, there is porn of it.

Nah, too high.

EDIT: Reconsidering in the light of overwhelming evidence.

. . . .


Get some rope?

It's rule 34 because of some guy writing up a list that everyone thought was hilarious 70 bazillion years ago on the interwebz.

http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com...f_The_Internet

The list shifts around a bit whenever I find it, but the porn rule is ALWAYS rule 34.

Is that like, dog years? :p

I already informed them of this (post #8).

UT deleteds them as he stated in Post #9. Perhaps thats why it is gone.

Was I making it up?

Geez Jimbo, do you really think I'd do something like that?

If I did, it'd be 'brilliant' though wouldn't it? ;)

Banned users do not appear on the members list.

lumberjim does.

lumberjim is not banned.

imagine if he was banned. then he'd never get to 10000 posts. No one would ever even know he'd come so close...

...and his postcount seems to going down. How's that even possible? A month ago, it was 9,999. Now, it 9,998.

maybe he deleted one?

I reckon this is temporary too, but perhaps longer lasting that previous strategies to block their access. I wonder if we'll ever get to the stage that for full fledged read write edit thread access to the cellar we'll require a peer reviewed application. Essay format. Ten sample posts. Examples of wit and eloquence.

Glad I got grandfathered in. :whew:

Very well, I sit corrected.
Rule 34 it is.
Thank you cellar.

Nah, I forgot to do the exchange from "teenager time", sorry. :D

haha...does that mean Drax only masturbated once since lumberjim stopped posting?

Talk about blue balls.

I banned hardcorebondageslut within an hour or two of registering.

But, but...hardcorebondageslut might have had delightful insights into the economic development of third world countries, the right to bear arms, or at least a good word association. :lol:

yeah, bruce. i'm thinking we should have given that one a chance to prove herself. hell, look at some of us you haven't banned yet. (not me. please?)

Yes, but after careful exploration of her online activities at other sites, it appeared to me that she was a one trick pony.

... living on the prairie with a young boy ...


I told you so!

well, thanks for doing that research bruce. ;)

You brat! :lol2:

Here's a new one!! Still registering... Well....I'm so curious if this one will ever post:
Çíàêîìñòâà

how do you even get that font?

Magic. Didn't you know that Cic is a witch?

Blessed be, C.

I am gutted that I chose the Blondie variation of my usual ice cream/ cherry / berry online names now.

Wouldn't it be great to be arguing about government provided healthcare with name like SuxHoogeCox?

lol! I just noticed Drax's signature!!! lol!!!


Drax can I use it?!?

:sweat:

I *so* need a sockpuppet.

Oh, so she's a pony girl too, on top of the bondage?

How do you know the person was female???? Could have been a male.:eyebrow:

XoB is a proactive moderator. This keeps us from wasting time on new users who registered to develop a rapport with us for the purpose of eventually trying to sell us something; or, to otherwise string us along for their own self gratification. IMHO, good forum moderators will spend additional time researching new registrations that raise a red flag with them indicating potential unsuitability.

It seems that sales people and self centered users are among the various categories of people who often use the same (or similar) nickname at many of the places they register. Perhaps this is because they register at so many websites that a different username at each one becomes too inconvenient. A Google search by username will show their other affiliations. Their profiles elsewhere sometimes reveal more than their profile here and their posts elsewhere almost always reveal things that wouldn't be revealed here for some time to come.

Any member can, indirectly, participate in the process. I've done it when I noticed that a new user's posts sounded rehearsed (like a salesman's pitch). I did the research and incorporated enough of my findings to raise a red flag in one of that users threads. I submit that thread for your entertainment (it's funny). The user's fate can be found here.

The Cellar has an annual moderator election sometime around the first of the year [if UT doesn't change the system]. Anyone who doesn't like having a proactive moderator not only gets to vote on the matter, they get to articulate their rationale and possibly sway others' opinions (including the moderators').

Thanks NB, I get it.
