Hi everyone, I just removed the new member CountVacula (less than 24 hours old), who I believe was nothing more than as banned member rejoining.

The clue to this was the fact that this user was using a special service called an "Anonymous Proxy" to try and hide their identity from us. As soon as I see a user is using a service like this I take the following steps...

#1 I delete all of the posts they have made, so making posts under an Anonymous Proxy is a complete waste of time.

#2 I delete the user name from the database and it become unreachable.

So please remember everyone, using a proxy service to hide your identity to the web sever is against the rules and will cause an immediate removal of everything posted as well as your username. I can immediately tell if someone is using a Proxy, so while you think you might be "hiding" it's actually an immediate red flag and bells ring.

Please do email me privately if you suspect a new member is really an old member coming back in disguise and let me know the username. Thanks again everyone.
 
That bloodsucking, parasitic name could never camouflage that louse for long....I can smell flimflam a mile away! Besides, he sent my creep antenna in the full erect position, anyway!!! Boy, it was sending some serious distress signals...beep...beep...beep!!!
 
Hi Robert.

Good work, glad to know the 'vampire' is back in his coffin, never to attack the living. Fact is, vacula is a week too late, this would have been great for Halloween.

No, I don't care to know who it is, just glad the person is gone. Thanks for keeping us safe. Also, rest assured I'll mark it as spam if I get an unknown email.

Hi Robert, Thanks for keeping our little slice of cyberspace safe once again! but i have a question for you, what is an Anonymous Proxy Service? If you know me, you know I'm barely part of the 21st century! the other day i had to get help to include a picture in a text message on an iPhone!

I wonder what pseudonym he was going under. Was it Count Chocula or Count Blackula? Oh well, we shall never know...if he was given just a little bit more rope, then snap, then we could've all watched him dance under the webmaster's most watchful eye. Indeed, it would've been a most wondrous spectacle for all to enjoy, but alas, it wasn't to be.
