[Meta] Why are users with -800 points allowed to even comment?
I'm really tired of these racist trolls peppering comments throughout every goddamn post.
Can we just make it so users with -100 MGoPoints or worse automatically cannot comment? And then maybe in the weird case where this was undeserved, they can be restored by the mods?

Because you touch yourself
January 16th, 2018 at 3:04 PM ^
Why don't snakes have armpits?
January 16th, 2018 at 2:49 PM ^
BECAUSE THIS IS AMERICA!!

Your existence is an embarassment to the board. If you had any sort of morals or intellect you would be an embarrassment to yourself as well.
I sincerely hope you get some mental help, because you need it.

This is the most logical post of the day. Ignore them, don't feed the trolls.
January 16th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
And they get downvoted into oblivion every time. They would be gone with like 5 comments.
January 16th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
If you were replying to a specific post, it's hidden on the web.
Also, sending them to Bolivia keeps them from commenting their way back into plus territory.
January 16th, 2018 at 2:50 PM ^
Wow, all that for touching yourself at night.
/sarcasm
(I feel there needs to be a marker that shows where a deleted comment was.... I was confused for a bit here...)
January 16th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
Haha yeah... weirdly there's no edit button on a comment when the parent comment is deleted so I can't clarify that :D
January 16th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
I wholeheartedly agree with this request as there has been a consistent troll posting in language that is obviously contrived and falls into a stereotype.
That said, maybe the guy with your avatar shouldn't be casting the first stone on this one.
I'm not offended, and I know it is from a comedy routine, just an observation.
January 16th, 2018 at 3:36 PM ^
Fair point...
January 16th, 2018 at 3:52 PM ^
A good point.
January 16th, 2018 at 2:28 PM ^
Posted elsewhere: (1) take a piece of paper and write "1/16/2018, BIGGEST N BLACKEST mgoblog" on it; (2) take a selfie of you holding that paper, either with or without your full face in the picture; (3) go to imgur.com/upload; (4) click Browse find the photo you just took, which will automatically upload; (5) copy the URL of the new page that opens with your photo and paste the URL here. You won't do it.

Can the mods not IP ban this fool?
January 16th, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
As moderating is doled out in terms of actual ability to make / create / edit / etc...., we don't have the ability to do it in our arsenal. Now, I believe Seth has said that it is possible - I could be wrong there - but that the process in this interface was a pain in the ass. That being said, it might be time in the case of one of the people I know inspired this thread. Actually, it would be interesting to see who else disappeared at that moment too.
January 16th, 2018 at 2:43 PM ^
Yes please do it.
January 16th, 2018 at 3:30 PM ^
to pay for an IT type to make this happen. We will fire the money cannon here to pay for it.
$50 from me to start.
January 16th, 2018 at 4:22 PM ^
Seth is in this thread and knows how to get ahold of me. I'll contribute $500 for the programming needed to fix this problem.

You can spoof IP addresses so easily with a VPN nowadays though...
January 16th, 2018 at 2:51 PM ^
January 16th, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
There are free VPNs out there as well - one paranoid guy I work with uses one every time he accesses r\NFLstreams to watch the RedZone channel
January 16th, 2018 at 4:24 PM ^
the free VPN's are no where near the level of some of the 1's you pay for. Honestly the more we engage in the conversation and the more people keep adding to it the more information people trying to exploit this site learn. I will finish it as that since I feel like talking about is only going to give them more ideas.
January 16th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
STOP GIVING IDEAS TO TROLLS
January 16th, 2018 at 2:47 PM ^
That would indeed be interesting...
January 16th, 2018 at 4:03 PM ^
been broken for years. We'll launch a new system to prevent people from signing up burner accounts when we launch the new website.

January 16th, 2018 at 8:04 PM ^
Seth, are you trolling us?
Just kidding.

Most people do not know how to reset their IP though and for the sake of it staying that way I won't mention how they should. Seriously the IP ban throws a lot of people for a loop. Operation Sports does it and the troll accounts they banned stay banned and you see less and less people posting stupid stuff. I don't care for the way they run thier site they are a little OD on some stuff but the IP ban works.
January 16th, 2018 at 5:49 PM ^
you may get banned by proxy.
How about you give out the trolls email address to the board? We can then sign him up for all kinds of "fun"!
January 16th, 2018 at 4:21 PM ^
I've lost 2 accounts here in the last month. Someone is able to nuke accounts, they just have an odd criteria on who deserves it.
January 16th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
How about we just make a rule that any poster that has any variation on "BIG" or "BLACK" in their name not be allowed to post? Or "Maizen"??
January 16th, 2018 at 2:26 PM ^
Big Boutros isn't going to like this...
January 16th, 2018 at 2:29 PM ^
We can grandfather in Big Boutros, can't we?
January 16th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
And his brother, BIG N BLACKTROS...
January 16th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
Black Socks ain't gonna be happy either
