    Muffler is being maliciously impersonated ?..

    It has become clear that our highly respected moderator 'muffler' is under attack from one or more weirdo's.

    Please see my thread on the 'help desk' under system and help stop this unwarranted stupidity NOW !, by posting your honest view/opinion's ?...

    Thanks.

    Is it a question or a statement?..
    Yes?..

    Other users cannot post on the same thread in HelpDesk ?..
    I thought Muffler had posted a warning here last night ?..

    In fairness, it's obviously not the Muffler -as the username is different, and there's stars missing,and... so many reasons... ugh ?..

    My honest view / opinion is you should stop posting about this, its being looked after.

    He's been banned every time he re-regged.


    Banlist

    I see no reason to desist posting in that thread. If the mods had a problem with it, they'd have closed it.

    Thank you Karoma, if pointing out that a thread by these sicko's who are trying to discredit the good reputation of an excellent moderator, that we are lucky enough to have here in the North West, makes me the guilty party, then God help us all :(.

    It's rather odd that one would persist in giving air to obvious trolling - both in Help Desk and here ?..

    God help us, indeed ?..


    Anyway, good luck with that. I'm off to watch Grumpy Old Men ?..

    I think the use of the words 'sickos' and 'gross injustice' is a little stong, and you need to calm down.

    Have you not noticed that there is a full stop after muffler, the thread starter, therefore it is not the genuine 'muffler' who started the thread, and that name i.e. muffler. has been banned making the thread (while interesting) still invalid.

    By posting on it, as I have myself, shows how gullible we all are, but what about defending the innocent :rolleyes: .

    Look, everyone knows its not the genuine muffler who started the thread, muffler. ( with the full stop) has been banned.

    There is no such user as 'muffler'. There is a muffler' but no 'muffler'. There is also a .muffler a muffler, and a muffler. But there is not only a muffler,, .muffler, and a muffler. - there is also a muffler. Which one should we ban?.. Or shall I just ban them all?..

    :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,028 ✭✭✭greglo23


    if muffler is a respected mod then he must have a certain amount of posts. ban the muffler with only one or two posts :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    Such actions would be disgusting and IMMORAL and illegal and a travesty and the world may end ?..
    Can we risk it ?..
    BAN 'EM! BAN 'EM ALL!

    Gordon,

    Thanks for pointing out all the different variations relating to the real muffler, which is the only member name/moderator that I have found in the listings, so why not go direct and ask him "Who is the real muffler/moderator of the North - West forum ?...and ban the rest, if you have the Authority ?...

  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,696 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    God help us all indeed.


    Can you see my posts?


    THEY ARE ALREADY BANNED.

    So the real mod is actually muffler,?.. I'm pretty sure I banned muffler,. Should I unban muffler,?

    Actually Paddy20, can you please link me all the muffler pseudonyms that are not the mod in question that you can find? Do this by going to each user and clicking on their name and viewing their profile. Then go up to the top bar on your browser and copy the URL. This is yours for example:
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=6836

    Do that and get back to me and I'll look into it, otherwise I can't be 100% with what you are saying.

    Take your time.

    Yes, I have noticed, after making my initial post. Whether the original poster is banned or not is irrelevant to me, as the thread is still open and thus the topic is still valid for discussion.

    Right lads (and lassies). Just got finished work and after seeing this. Thanks for highlighting this and the support also.

    Yes we had a few problems over the last day or two with some prick trying to first of all trying to impersonate the one and only muffler ;) and then passing some not so nice comments - certainly not family entertainment.

    I think Gordon has matters under control but an IP check might not go amiss.

    As the old bible saying goes - I know my flock and my flock know me :)

    Gordon,

    Maybe I am missing something, but I regard this issue as very serious, and I think you are making little of it.

    Simply contact the real muffler via whatever means you wish, and perhaps he might enlighten you. As I am bored and insulted with your ramblings and Hitler photo !.

    So, I am leaving my communication with you here. In the hope that DeVore, Regi or Cloud will resolve the maliciouus imposter/imposters debacle.Once and for all.

    Good luck.

    Gordon,

    That reminded me of Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister, and the ramblings of Sir Humphrey. Brilliant.
