m0n5t3r Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 wow... so it was really him... poor guy... i kinda guessed it was him after his 2nd day posting... i was guessing he was either sneaking back in using a new or somebody else's connection or he was let back in on the condition that he would remain anonymous or something... aside from the obvious "1979", comment pattern, etc., how'd you (mods) find out for sure it was him??? (just curious... ) apologies if i shouldn't have brought this up, but i was looking for something to post to get me out of my "666" post #, and was wondering why 1979 had been awfully quiet...
TheLoneWolf Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Why can't people take their ban like a man? AgentOne did. And 3 years later he asked for leniancy, now he's back. It's not that difficult.
eugimon Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Why was this thread unlocked? Is the matter of his banning up for debate?
jenius Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Who was Ryno posting as? How'd it get figured out?
anime52k8 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 apparently Macross1979... so what did this ryno guy do to get banned in the first place?
Briareos Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 apparently Macross1979... so what did this ryno guy do to get banned in the first place? You can follow this thread here for an answer. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...708&hl=Ryno
VFTF1 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 so what did this ryno guy do to get banned in the first place? He didn't take my friendly advise. Pete
kanedaestes Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Upon further looking in a Strike A Pose thread it is kind of obvious that it was him, he was posting a lot and already had 200+ posts since April 2nd.

Wes Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Why was this thread unlocked? Is the matter of his banning up for debate? It's up for hilarity. He was a good guy at MWcon 2008, remember convincing him to post more, and now I see he destroys my post count and has been banned twice sense then. Maybe if my brain wasn't so fried I'd be able to at least get 1 post/dayoh yeah that daily GI Joe cartoon and I need to finish Chips Challenge and

Usually a mod can see IP addresses so they can just compare later. Because I don't necessarily trust these guys I'm always hidden behind 7 proxies

Because I don't necessarily trust these guys I'm always hidden behind 7 proxies yeah, i know that... but he could have easily been logging on using a local internet cafe or starbucks or a friend's account or used a faked-out email account to register on MW etc... how'd they pin the IP or the email account to him??? ... guess we'll never know...

Excillon Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 You know, this whole spamming thing wouldn't be a problem if they just removed the stupid post counts from the display. It's nothing but a pissing contest. I may not have that high of a post count, but that's because I only post where I want to, when I feel I have some solid input to the topic, or questions. I mean, make the post count display only in the profile page. I've been here for 3+ years, but I visit this site EVERY day. Just because I don't have something to say all the time doesn't mean I'm not a "regular" member. Misterryno did it to himself, and me too unfortunately. I was talking to him (unknowingly) about his Strike Valk, and was close to a deal. I hadn't paid anything yet, and I'm not going to ask the mods to allow me to complete the deal for 2 reasons: 1. I felt bad for the seller "macross1979 aka Ryno", who seemed pretty desparate and thought I'd help him out. 2. Even though I'm out a deal on the Strike valk, allowing him to complete the deal goes against his entire banning. I don't expect EXO or anyone else to allow this for my sake. I'd rather be out a valk and have the principles of Macworld and it's leadership remain intact. Rules are rules. I'll get more valks, hopefully he doesn't get more accounts. I never had anything personal against Ryno, I thought he was pretty inane, and it irked the hell out of me that he'd derail genuine topics about Mac stuff, but he gets what's coming to him. I hope the mods take this into account when they think about whether to release his ban. Let him rot on the Robotech forums for all I care, he did it to himself. I can't believe the outrage over his banning. I mean, compare this set of mods to the ones on other sites. These guys are pretty laid back. I'm sure it wasn't easy for them to do this, and everyone getting pissed off about it doesn't help them I'm sure. So that being said, can we please just lock this thread and get it over with. Just let it die, people.
ErikElvis Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Im new here and never commented but I was annoyed by his posts all over the place. His posts kinda seemed like they were coming from a hyper 12 year old.
eugimon Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 sigh, it's hard to stick up for the guy if he's just gonna do the same stupid things that got him tossed in the first place. I welcomed his contributions to the post a pose thread though.

Just let it die, people. Quite agree on that point. Even though I have been at the rough end of some mod anger (and I deserved to be, I will be the first to admit that I am no angel ) the mods here are pretty fair. Like I have observed before, compared to other forums the mods here are great. (In another forum I was in, a mod started screwing around with my account, including my sig, which was really annoying. I promptly told that mod to f#ck off and was not banned, go figure) As a history person I have to say let the past be the past. Learn from it, but certainly don't dwell on it too much. Taksraven

Just because I don't have something to say all the time doesn't mean I'm not a "regular" member. I don't think it has much to do with post counts. Some of the most prolific posters on here make really worthwhile contributions with every post. However In the past two years there has been a noticeable drop in overall forum behaviour, partly due to the influx of new people with Macross Frontier. I don't go into the Macross series discussion forum because its full of inane crap. Maybe thats just the growing pains of a forum, but thats life.
VFTF1 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Yeah, Exo himself wrote in the "Save MisterRyno" thread that he wasn't banned due to spamming or excessive posting, but because he got a 3 day time out and created a fake account anyways, and basically didn't give a bum poopoo about the mods, the rule etc. It's pretty simple. When a mod gives you a warning, you can discuss it politely and a) compromise and drop the issue, b) politely disagree and stop visiting the sight or c) be a dork and get a temp ban and then create a new account leading to perma-ban. I agree that he's a good guy. I did some deals with him too and he was honest and spotless and seemed to really enjoy the hobby. But - then again - how many of us are DISHONEST and HATE the hobby? These are bare minimum "credentials" for being at Macross World. It also helps to follow the rules. Besides - I notice that usually people scream loudest about the evil rules when they themselves are under the thumb of the rules. I don't know about you guys - but I've read the rules and if there was something I disagreed with or had doubts about - I would post a topic in the member feedback forum to make sure, to clarify - BEFORE getting to a potential conflict stage. Sometimes, though, there will always be a couple rules we don't like or agree with. I know I HATE Section 1, point 5, sub-point 6 .... But what can little old me do about it? It's just one of those small injustices that I guess make the world imperfect. Pete
ErikElvis Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Please enjoy your stay at Macrossworld, dinner is served promptly at 6:30... Now Im spamming but I noticed your sig. I have a 02 Sunset orange SS currently waiting for me to get the ford 9" in. Awesome cars.
Dante74 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Sometimes, though, there will always be a couple rules we don't like or agree with. I know I HATE Section 1, point 5, sub-point 6 .... You hate Jennifer Aniston?
VFTF1 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 No... look here for the greatest injustice since they cancelled Dynasty: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...&hl=tabloid That's where the rule comes from Pete
EXO Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Pretty sure that rule's been there since the beginning of MW.
Sulendil Ang Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 LOL @ Jennifer Aniston spamming law. But think about it, where are you going to post a topic of Jennifer at MWF? And since no place is suitable for it, naturally it will be considered spam. That, or Hurin just hate her.
Dante74 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) hmmm, So there's a specific rule about Jennifer, but no mention of Zardoz. Looks like I can start posting zardoz pics again! j/k Edited April 25, 2009 by Dante74
VFTF1 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Well, actually, the one to really watch is Pam Anderson - now living broke in a trailer park. And check out the wrinkles on that forehead. Getting rid of those costs only like 200 bucks or so every two or three months. This should NOT be a problem for her. The sub-title going off on the belly is off base. That's not fat - it's excess skin that droops. Can also be remedied but takes time at the gym and a good diet. But it's that forehead that shocked me. Come on Pam! Get back together! : http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517744,00.html Pete
Gubaba Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I smell thread lock... I do, too, so before it gets locked, I'm wondering...looking up Macross1979, his custom title is "ryno Version 3.0." Was there a "2.0" as well?
