How do we deal with the moniker problem on MTF?

Its pretty clear that accounts like Topspinfetishist, Noserer, End da Game can only be made by people who have lurked long enough on MTF.

I am not saying these are necessarily double accounts; there's no valid reason to ban a new poster who's simply been affected by the bittersweet sting of MTF and therefore chooses a name as a homage to some favorite troll or his style. But these new posters could very well be one of the old fans like Johnny Groove, Clay Death, Magician or some other previously banned poster trying to squeeze his/her way into MTF right in time for the ACC.

As I am one of the most smart, intelligent, clear-thinking posters who can separate the sleaze from the sham in MTF, I thought its time to bring this debate in the open. :cool:

We all know that Topspin is actually Tomic, trying to stress out MTF for considering him a spoiled brat. Noserer could be Nadal being bored while recuperating.

Seriously talking, why so much suspicion? You don't think that the users you mentioned are actually the only people thinking the way they think. Although I do have to admit, Noserer is pretty suspicious for a first-time user name.

a Thousand suspicion is not a proof.

i dont get whats the problem with Monitor their IP Address or something and see if theres 2 users with different account.

i didnt know the Magician or start the game but who is ban and used to call fed Noserer?

They may have lurked, but not as already-existing posters. I think there has been some other MTF nicknames that didn't look like trolls at all, only tards at worst. If a new poster doesn't have the same IP than an existing poster, then he mustn't be banned.

Another thing is insulting nicknames like Noserer and Nadull, they shouldn't be tolerated, especially in usernames.

:spit: I would've never believed ACC is so desired a title. And Groove wasn't banned, he withdrew himself.

I just had a quick thought. What if in a few generations time (maybe sooner), some tennis players with these exact names: Noserer or Nadull emerge? The forumers nicks would not be as insulting anymore.

On the other hand, this is also interesting:

How does this IP address monitoring work anyway? Is it the IP address of the computer you signed up on that is known or the IP address of a computer you use every time you log in?

If its just when you sign up then that can easily be avoided by going to the library and making an account, also who's to say 2 people with the same IP is the same person, people do share computers you know, I don't see thr same IP as a legit reason to ban someone as its possible its different people using same computer

yes I have a black belt in internetz and I can confirm you can check the IP everytime someone even visits a webpage, let alone logs in somewhere. Exception is if that person hides his/her true IP adress which can be done. Mostly gonna be annoying for the person doing it so if that's the case it's often some kind of professional troll/scamer or a very paranoid person that absolutely wants anonymity on the net.

Anyhow, many forum trolls have twin brothers with the exact same personality and interests. So sometimes when the first twin is banned (and ofc abandons his account never to be seen again) his/her twin often wants to revenge and start their own account. Then they act exactly like the previous poster and under the same IP but with a new name. When the troll twin eventually also gets banned one can only hope they weren't triplets :)

Better question to ask is how do we deal with obvious double accounts like Honestly who is obviously Magician making a comeback. Mods don't seem to care.

The double accounts of MTF must be banned. I hear they're weak against maple leaves and Oil of Olay. Comrades, grab your torches and pitchforks and gather as one, so we may flush them out. This march shall be for freedom.

To be honest I think some of these names, for example End da Game & PiggyGotRoasted are funny. :)

Topspindoctor should sue Noserer (and BroTree123) for copyright infringement. T-Doc is probably the only one troll I ever liked and they are successfuly ruining all the fun I have while lurking for reading his posts with their shameless copying.

If the mods were interested in quality discussion they'd just make a clean sweep and ban all the posters who don't do anything except hijack threads and wind people up. But they're more interested in lots of traffic, and the trolls make a lot of posts.

I used to post seriously but now I just troll. No point trying to have a proper discussion when every thread is full of "LOL Olderer" and "ROFL Nadull".

^^ Honestly is one of the nicest and harmless posters out here and its honestly sad to see her rated so high on the nominations this year.

In fact I rate Honestly in the same club of harmless posters such as Allez, Pirata, Barbadosan, Lilotes, Tigertim etc.

Sad for Honestly. Doing so well in the ACC :sad:

She's a massive Rogertard with no respect for other players, but of course you would like her

Still, it's a shame she is doing better in ACC than true clowns like me, since she joined only August or something. :(
