Banned #1

Well, I knew it would happen sooner or later.  Actually I’m surprised it took this long.  I banned someone for the first time tonight. He was not contributing in any positive way, just being an ass.  He had left maybe 8 comments and only in one of those he wasn’t being a complete jerk.  It was a one word comment at that.

 I wasn’t even sure how to do it, so I looked for a plugin that would ban someone and lo and behold there it was.  I banned his I.P. address.  That doesn’t mean he can’t log in from somewhere else I guess, but if he does and is the ass that he was, I’ll ban him again.

    • LOL @ Scott. Just being “wrong” won’t get anyone banned. Nor will disagreeing with me.
      It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. …. Nah, that’s bullshit too. This guy didn’t say anything and he said it with hate. (That made a lot of sense.)
      Think of all the great puns we’d have missed if Scott was banned. I don’t think we’re gonna miss too much from this a-hole.

  1. I already forgot about ScottGate. Dayum.
    But you’ve really tried hard to control yourself since.
    Must be tough, but you’re doing good. So far.
    Only 3½ years to go…

  2. I was kidding about the jerk actually being his wife. I don’t know her, I’m sure she’s a great person, but it’s funny if you read those comments with the idea of it being a spouse. “You’re an idiot.” “You’re a drunk.”

  4. With WordPress, you can just classify those types of comments as Spam and they will always go in the Spam bucket. As you said, IP addresses can change.

    • Don Ray,
      I don’t know how you define “those types of comments”. He dances around vulgarity which the spam filter catches, but he just spewed hatred and contributed nothing. I don’t know how classifying his comments as spam would help. Some of his comments were filtered because of the foul language, but many weren’t.
      I might be wrong, but just marking someone’s comments as spam isn’t going to stop future comments, is it?

  5. ‘This guy didn’t say anything and he said it with hate.’ I know a few people like this Jon! Good job! That’s why your the leader!

  6. Ah, I might miss the ancient one. He used to get my blood pressure up and my heart pumping and take my mind off the stuff that really makes a difference rather than his own demented views.

    • Rev, I don’t think we’re talking about the same guy. He really didn’t share and “views” just was totally ignorant.
      I don’t have ANY problem with someone sharing their views, no matter what they are, but if all they do is call people nasty names then I see no point in tolerating it. All opposing views are accepted, even the wrong ones. 🙂

  7. Spam blocking probably won’t stop her either, Jonco. And if she’s as smart as she believes she is, IP blocking won’t work either. But, in reality, I guess none of us are as smart as we think we are… (nor as humble about it as I am….)
