OUR MOD IS BEING IMPERSONATED, i.e 'muffler' North-West Forum. ?...

Paddy20

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.

P. :cool:

Karoma

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 ?..

Silverfish

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

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

Lets get real here, people are still responding and answering a A THREAD on the North-West forum started by this or these imposters ?...

If I do not point out this gross injustice, That is continuing, then who the hell will :rolleyes:

P. :cool:

Karoma

You're the imposter ! ?..
nobody could be that sad ?..
Reported ?..


I'll let you work it out ?..

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 ?..

Silverfish

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

Karoma

HYPERBOLE ROCKS!!cos0!!!

Paddy20, you're just making this worse?..

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.

Banned

Not sure what more you want.

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?..

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

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 ?...

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.

muffler

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.

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.

Please continue your effort.
Somebody must.
Try the Report Post function.
For it will alert the appropriate authoritaii.
Unneccessary threads just create more hassle.

Please forgive me for going off topic here.

Gordon,

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

Wells heres my complaint, remove the stick from your ass...

TBA,

I never cease to be amazed at people such as yourself , who seem to enjoy insulting those who stand up for truth and justice.

Good luck to you, and I sincerely hope that one day you will see the error of your ways.

Where's my justice? my post was unneccessarily modified! Gordon deals with many idiots per day. Ex: muffler. ,et al.

tut.

Paddy20

Nice too see how popular the North-West forum is becoming, with all the new poster's.:)

It must all be down to our first class moderator's

Name collision with same avatar. Dont think so. This is another tactic being deployed.

Thanks for the heads up on this beetlebrox but he has since been banned

Guys

Will you all calm down here, muffler and I have been talking over this and we have posted on the mod board (it can only be viewed by mods)

All is done and dusted so please leave it be. Starting threads on the systme forum is both pointless and frugle.

Paddy, you have to calm down, i know freedom of speech and all that but if you talk with muffler on this he will agree with me that there are certain ways to deal with any situation. Ranting and quoting Mods is not one.

Final word

All fake muff's have been banished,

There is only one muffler on here and he belongs to the north west

Couldnt have put that better myself

seriously though nanook is right. The thing has now died down and further posting on the subject is only playing into the imposters hands.

I know myself and Paddy20 have locked horns on occasions but its great that he took it upon himself to highlight this matter and both defend and praise me. (thats 2 pints I owe you Paddy ) I think that typifies what this particular part of the boards is all about in that it shows that we in the North West can stick together and get tough when the going gets tough.

What I propose to do now is to leave this thread open till midnight and then lock it (you OK with that nanook ?). From talking to one of the more senior people on the boards I am reasonably sure that this will be the end of the incident.
