Abuse of The News Comments

I am sick of my nick being used by other people to comment on news articles, So from now on, I will only use the forum to comment on articles till mygaming brings in a decent verification system.
So if you see Tpex commenting on articles in the news section its not me, but some asshole scumbag troll.
Thank you.

Doesn't sound good. I was rather shocked when I commented and it didn't require a login.

Yeah, I'm busy writing a blog page for a site now and I'm making good use user verification before comments are allowed to be submitted.
 
Also not going to use my forum handle for posting comments on the site again. At least not until the new login system goes up. Somebody started using mine to post comments under my nick again. Probably the same douche who did it with Tpex's nick.

Yup. Pretty sure it's just one guy with issues.

Just do what I and some other people do: post under Anonymous/Anon. There's no individual to impersonate and any one Anonymous can be any other, thereby the comment's message is taken purely at face-value; no strings attached. Works well.

But yeah, it does ruin the entire feel of the community outside these forums.
 
Same happened to me a while ago, hasn't happened since. So I never comment in articles, I rather comment in the thread that gets created in relation to the article.
 
I know right! It's been absolute madness. Although none of you guys get as trolled as much as I do

How do we know its you...

And whats up with the bot advertising etradinglife on every article now?

We don't. I believe wheunis said that he was Hurdur in the comments section, unless I'm mistaken? So, why would wheunis post as Hurdur in the forum? I smell a trollish impersonator :)

Perhaps it thinks we need new sneakers, rock star memorabilia and other items of a ridiculous persuasion.
 
The comments system needs to be disabled completely IMHO.

Force people to join the forum if they want to comment and at least that way we can moderate stuff.

Add another +1 to agreement.

Rather something that works than something that gets abused and misused.
 
Okay, I'll fess up to this one. I know I'm not about to win any brownie points here, but it might at least help stop this totally idiotic Hurdur crap.

I was the original Hurdur. Site admins can probably comfirm this using IP addresses, but I'd say that would be a waste of time, seeing as I have no reason to lie about being Hurdur. In fact, most people would probably lie about not being him.

I posted under the nick to do some light trolling. Yeah, I know. It was a dick move of me. Was bored, probably a bit lonely and sad. The normal crappy reasons why people troll. It got out of hand when someone else started posting under Hurdur. Said in the comments section that I wasn't going to be using that nick again, and as far as I remember, I haven't used it again.

I know it was a dick move, but sorry about. I'm not planning on doing something similar again, because I've actually really started liking the community here, despite the fact that I'm probably in arguments over differences of opinion more often than not. :P

So, just one last time, sorry about startign the whole Hurdur thing and for trolling in the first place.

No sir, you are probably the same fool posting under everybody else's nicknames. Kindly refrain from it. It's merely souring everyone else's moods.

PS for everyone else. I'm usually very strict about my spelling, grammar and punctuation, so if anybody posts under my name and there are either of those errors in the post//comment, there's a 99% chance it's not me.
 
Damnit, and just after I'd given you +rep too :mad:

/wags finger @ Graal

/pointlessly deducts rep from Hurdur instead (meagre consolation is meagre).

Actually I'm not the guy posting under everyone's nicks, the name is rather popular in the comments section but wasn't registered in the forum, so I thought I'd claim it :D

Also, you claim to be really big on spelling and grammar so I'd like to point on the errors in your post:

1)comfirm
2)startign
3)fees up (should've been "fess up")

Note: The above is an example of how to troll :)

Graal, please don't take offense, as I'm just joshing around with you.

Woah Horsie!
If I troll I do it openly and with no masks applied.

I have only ever posted in the comments, MAYBE... twice?
I remember one I posted as wheunis, and another I actually might have posted under my first name.

That's it.
I long since abandoned trying to follow any amount of comment-based discussions on the articles.

I just prefer doing all that bickering, bitchin, and rare trolling right here in the forums. Under my own name.

I couldn't agree more... it's bs that you have these kids running around fraudulently using others nicks and all that...
 
Damn, wonder if anyone's used Shamrock to troll news section. From now on I'll only post as ImnotgayIpromise, I don't think anyone'll steal that.
