Member Management

Could we have a ban on MumnMemOkem - yet another pesky spammer. :yuckky:

Done. ~ Post Edited by Joe > Average

Thanks Joe! (Y)

According to the system, LMS started another account last month that I don't remember seeing when we talked about this the last time

. Even if the idea is to not ban them because people will be traumatized or whatever since there's so few social members now despite there being more members overall, I think at least a month or more long suspension should be underway. Of course, I have some bias because I'm tired of them in general and they seem to be everywhere at once on top of that, so the group can decide.

^I'm in agreement that the more social members are what keeps the forum going, but I also don't believe they're as popular or as indispensable as they seem to think. For me, they don't so much keep certain threads going as apply a stranglehold on them, which if anything, might discourage others from joining in.

The standards of nudity are different in different countries, but the rules are clear obviously. Since the other sites like us that I know of don't have a nudity rule, there are some members who think if they just behave reasonably they'll somehow automatically fall in line eve if they don't read the rules. I'd send the person a pm and then give a warning the first time they violate the rule after that and then a suspension the next time. Hopefully they're reasonable .

So unfortunately, after a friendly warning followed by a not-so-friendly warning, this guy still hasn't learned his lesson. How long a suspension would you recommend, Joe?

Good point about the other and as to this one, if they haven't answered either, I say disable posting indefinitely pending the asnwering of the message. Disabling the posting opposed to suspending gives them the option of responding to our message only opposed to no access. If they still don't answer then, they can't post anyway so we lose nothing . If they have answered your friendly and not so friendly messages, then I say suspend instead of disable. How long they should be suspended is up to you but since you asked, I'd suggest basing it on how often they post. If they post a few times every other day, a day's or even week's suspension would be totally useless. If they post several times a day, a couple weeks or more could bring the point home. If they still keep it up after that, double whatever the first one was and after that, the staff would vote on whether to ban them or not. Hopefully it doesn't come to all that.

I got a report from these under the suspicion that they are the same person. I didn't see a shared IP address although they do seem pretty simular. I just figured someone else could give a second look .

I hate to bring this up considering I am one to avoid senseless drama but have there ever been complaints of the validity of Little Miss Sunshines, Sweet Lu, Cop11, and Lexus accounts? I have heard rumors in the past and now I think I am a target of their smear campaigns....odd part....don't know why I actually was fond of them at one point but ever since they joined they have caused me some odd drama that I never had back in 08 on until they came about. Not sure if they target well know established members for their kicks but now I'm offically bringing up a red flag on those 4 after hearing some not so pleasant rumors they might be circulating....and I'm still perplexed as to why I have never done anything to agitate anyone in any bad ways. At this point I want nothing to do with those 4 and just be left alone and not have my name tarnished for god knows what reasons. Now I know why Limerlight and others have left the forum, senseless drama that has no reason. Can't believe I'm actually sending this message but I'm officaly tired of those 4 members and their antics. And I don't want to leave such a wonderful forum after so many years but I just don't know what to do at this point.

By they way I sent this message to 2 other admins. Thx for hearing me out and sorry for this lame ass drama.

I got this from ILUVAdrianaLima. Thoughts? I have to say that it isn't the first time people have complained about those four, but ILUV's complaint seems a bit vague for us to do anything concrete?

^I received a slightly different message from ILUV on the same subject just this afternoon. I don't fully know what to make of it and have little recollection of the post he mentions in 'Bellazon Peeps', but I'd be willing to ask for the Baron's take on the situation should we choose to investigate further.

Good morning there, I have a big dilemma to present to u that I just experienced last week and I've come to find out I'm not the only victim here. I've heard in the past that you and all the other admins/mods might of dealt or spoken with each other regarding Little Miss Sunshine, Sweet Lu, Cop11, Lexus#1 actions in the past. Well just to give u a heads up they have finally ganged up on me and started their childish antics with starting false rumors, harassing me for god knows what reasons at why I'm talking "shit" on other members and the most offensive rumor that really just over did it here for me was labeling me a "perv" over a comment I made on a members pic that they have posted in the: "Bellazon Peeps: Post pics of yourself!" thread. I even managed to talk to that member (Danni) who I am BZ friends with and she thought it was completely ridiculous. I've also come to find out that my good bud: TheBaronOfFratton has had a very similar eerie account with them in the past which he has been reluctant to share over the possibilities of no one believing him but now that I have gone thru the same crap I think it's time for something to be done about the 4 names I just mentioned. I'm still very perplexed as to why they are doing this as they have no just reasons for doing so other then the possibility of these people suffering from some kind of deep physiological issues. Regardless, I thought I'd PM u finally over this matter. PM Baron if need be for more details as he has a boat load of evidence in terms of messages, but I have a feeling this isn't the first time u have dealt with these 4. I hate and I am almost laughing that I'm writing this message since this sounds very High School but something has to be said & done before those 4 take over this board for the worse. And as a side note I have sent a more detailed message to 3 admins already: Joe > Average, PinkCouture, SympathysSilhouette but thought I'd include u in the loop considering that I heard u have dealt with these 4 some how in the past. Thx for hearing me out and sorry for the senseless troubles.

Good point about the other and as to this one, if they haven't answered either, I say disable posting indefinitely pending the asnwering of the message.

Thanks Joe. With your recommendation in mind, I've disabled his posting ability pending a response to my previous PMs. I don't think we'd be missing much if this guy simply disappeared from the forum altogether, but let's see how it goes.

Hello Team

Work has been extra busy. Totally kicking my ass! And it doesn't look like it will be any better for at least the rest of the month.

JA said you guys needed my input on something. Could someone give me a quick briefing/summary of what's been happening and anything I should be aware of? Perhaps bullet points?

Thanks!

Basically, now aside from the multiple accounts, ILUVAdrianaLima and Baron have reported LMS as starting drama with them. According to Baron she's even spreading rumors that he's jealous of Lu because he's in love with her or something. Good luck with the work .

^ Thanks Joe for the brief update and well wish

So, what have we done with the LMS/SL situation? Maybe a better question is what would we like to do?

Could we also have a ban on the member staniculpat? :yuckky:

^ Sure, why not

^Much obliged Pinky.

What should we do? Looks like you've gone soft .

Just wanted to inform you about a little quarrel I got with Baby because of the image hosts that advertise for pornographic content in their adult section. http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?showtopic=42899

I updated the FAQs and included the two image hosts in the white list.

^Thanks Mel. Regardless of the topic, I wouldn't envy anyone's involvement in a disagreement with Baby.

Guys, excuse my lack of knowledge on this particular subject, but how similar would two members' IP addresses have to be before things start to look shady? I only ask because I'm beginning to think that lordjhon (the member I warned numerous times for continually posting nude images) and new member orcha_78 (several of whose posts I've just had to edit for the same reason) are in fact one and the same. The first six digits of their IP addresses are a perfect match and their posting styles, though minimal, are suspiciously similar.

Ha, I was wondering about the same thing, Michael. I strongly feel they might be the same person. I edited more of orcha_78 posts and increased his warning level. I wasn't able to proof the ID thing though.

What should we do? Looks like you've gone soft .

Not totally sure what you meant, but I feel with the LMS/SL situation nobody wants to get their hands dirty and everyone is looking at me to do the dirty work It just seems like I am once again thrown with the responsibility of the "bad cop." It is a frustrating and uncomfortable position to be in

Another thing in regards to banning those 2: http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?s=&...t&p=2818719
