Member Management

I have no objections . Also, a member I thought I had already banned (the hotlinking tyrant known as Juicy Couture) has resurfaced. I was about to ban her again seeing as how her only purpose seems to be hotlink advertisements to said site but I figured I'd inquire as to the status of the hotlinking rule beforehand. I had taken a break from purging the celeb threads in light of that originally but figured I'd ask since banishment is at stake. Of course it goes without saying that I'm inclined to ban in the light of the defiance at face value .

Thanks JA

No, members may not hotlink to advertisements. If you have not already, maybe send her an unofficial warning via PM reminding her of our no advertisement of external and unaffiliated sites and no hotlinking rules. if she still does it, it is your call on what you want to do. Suspension [and Mod Watch]? Banishment?

There are a lot of hotlinking violations (among others) in the celeb threads. Thanks for taking on this daunting task

Okay, so here's what I just found:

http://www.bellazon....r/65612-trends/

New Member to BZ. Joined in Jan 2013 - 15 posts.(likes to bitch about VS.. go figure)

When I first looked up Dreamss and his IP was showing him in Washington behind a cell phone proxy:

This new person is on a cell phone coming from the same exact location on the map?

Both on cell phones, one behind proxy showing him from WA, another not hiding behind proxy and using the sprint tower which shows him from the same location as the hidden proxy, both LOVE to bitch about VS.

Might be nothing, could be something.

Funny you mentioned this b/c when trends first joined I had a feeling she was dreamss Her posts are very similar to dreamss'. I also think new member Choose (http://www.bellazon....r/70516-choose/) could also be dreamss. I did a quick check and this member's IP address belongs to proxyboost.net. Definitely need to keep an eye on them.

In 24 hours Choose has been in New Jersery, and today Amsterdam

Ban time? Post Moderation time?

I dunno why people need to hide behind proxies, perhaps it should become a banable offense?

lol I posted in Adriana's thread about seeing a proxy (no names), and within 20 secs or less Chose comes in.

Queue the tiny violin and paranoia.

Oooh they left BZ or went from showing they were online to invisible.

^ Thanks Pretty for further investigating I don't understand why someone would hide behind a proxy either but I am sure there are valid reasons why some people would do that. Maybe there are legitimate reasons for the anonymity and privacy. A psych stalker ex bf/gf who is now engaging in internet stalking? Want to limit the info that are exposed online?

I think with trends and Choose we should nab them on rule violations we currently have in place. If either one is dreamss/track it should not take long for them to get caught for baiting, bashing an/or trolling violations.

Sounds like a plan hun. I feel bad going after all these people, but they're just making it way to easy.

If a person is going to stalk you online, hiding behind a proxy isn't going to do f*ck all to stop them. Either way BZ isn't full of stalkers, so I just don't see a need to hide behind one. And besides I think a person would have common sense to talk to the staff if they were being harassed or stalked by other members on the forum.

Sent to me by cherrybomb: Something to keep eye out for (TKC/Rafsecret)

Wow what trolls. What is the point of having two accounts on this forum.

Anyway I could be wrong about this but I'll give you a short backstory

TKC, has been creating profiles to add one of my friends on facebook to prove that I post 'negative shit' about Adriana on her wall. She has resorted to crazy methods such as trying to get people to hack her (and probably me) because my friend likes Kate Upton more than she likes Adriana Lima. My friend runs a pretty popular tumblr fashion blog but TKC runs brazilian-bombshells.tumblr.com

It's nauseating and I don't recommend that you go on there because all you will see is

OMG THE CONFESSION THAT SAYS CANDICE IS THE QUEEN OF VS? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ADRIANA IS THE BEST

ADRIANA IS THE BEST BITCHES DON'T WANNA ADMIT IT

YA'LL HOES IS JEALOUS OF ADRIANA

Literally. But anyway there was some complication where one of her friends messaged my friend saying some shit, and this apparent friend is someone named 'Sara', who I believe to be Rafsecret or whatever. I guess I wanted to know if this 'Sara' person who randomly messaged my friend is TKC or actually is someone else. So are you able to check if they're the same?

I know somewhere on Bellazon TKC has another account so she can satisfy her need to talk about Adriana 2x

Thank you btw.

I don't know if TKC and Rafsecret are the same person but both of them are definitely questionable & shady. There are a few others am I also observing. Don't want to alarm anyone yet until something super shady happens

You are giving people's intelligence & common sense (esp the members here) way too much credit

Sent via PM:

I'm not stupid. I wasn't trying to hide the fact that I was using a proxy. I'm using a proxy so I can get allowed on here.

Wow they have balls to admit they're behind a proxy?

I sent a PM back asking why they or anyone else would need a proxy to be allowed on BZ.

^ Apparently he/she is pretty stupid b/c that was a dumb move to send you a PM

Another one is biting the dust soon...

rofl!

WE KNEW IT!

Here's the reply back: Say hello to Dreamss/Track

Well here I am. I meant allowed as in to be able to view the site. My minor in school is IT, I know a thing or two about what a proxy can and can't do.

Anyway, not saying you should care but you guys got me hyper when I got banned.

I didn't even know at first that I got banned. I HAVEN'T broken any rules. I sent you guys an email twice when I knew other people were using the site but I couldn't but I was ignored. I also asked a fellow BZ member to ask any mod or adminis why I couldn't use the site and she asked Pink then she told her I was banned for having multiple account!! JFC.!

I then took to Pink's live journal account and messaged her explaining everything, everything, but she didn't reply.

That's when I decided to use a proxy.

My sister has/had an account here. I asked joe average if she could use it and he accepted. I also made her tell another mod and she contacted you. I even told Dave about her account! She's a living breathing human being. Her name is Sally (salimatou). We share the same laptop! That's about it. I would have stopped her from using my lapun if you guys sent me a warning or something like that.

^ Ok. I am going to ban the account now *sigh*

Hmm...new member hullay reminds me of dreamss. Let's have a look...

*Suspected Network Sharing Device

We believe that this IP address represents the public IP address of a router or firewall with more than one device behind it. This does not mean that your computer or network has been hacked or compromised. This is a common status for a residential connection with multiple devices (a family, etc.). We do not think this is a proxy server

Even if it is not dreamss this member has numerous spam IP addresses so I am going ahead with the banning (Y)

lol the banning never ends. I don't see why these people are so into the idea of having multiple accounts.

There's a Carla Nanci and a CarlaNanci registered on the same day. At first I thought it was just sloppy trolling, but seeing as how both are validating, it could be that they just thought registering didn't work the first time. I deleted the newest one and validated the oldest one so if it turns out to be a spammer, I'll just ban her and we've lost nothing. Well, unless its a hacker on my cousin's level and she becomes some overlord who takes over the site and drains everyone's (who isn't like me too paranoid to post such info online) bank accounts that is .

^I'm not worried, I keep all my money under the mattress.

FYI

I think Dreamss/Track is back.
