This is more to catch the attention the mods if anything but is it possible to place an IP ban on a user? I, along with a lot of people, are definitely sick of the trolls that have been plaguing WSO for the past month and a half. I am 100% positive that there is one person that holds the accounts of my name is goldstein, MikeFromBaruch, ThatWholeYaleThing, etc. It's not like the person is a funny troll, no this is just someone with the intent to derail threads and give shitty advice to undergraduates that actually need help. Personally on one of my threads, I believe this person is the one who spammed me with monkey shit 14 times in a span of 3 minutes. How is that allowed to happen? This person has been making multiple profiles and posting in the off-topic section to increase his rank too. Just a pathetic non-target that keeps moaning about target students and shit like that (and I am a non-target).
Imo the mods on this site really need to get a grasp on this situation and either IP ban whomever it is or remove the profiles i mentioned above from this site.
What do you guys think? Agreed?
EDIT: @AndyLouis take a look at this situation.
I agree, and bring back blastoise
At least blatoise was actually funny.
What about Brady?
absolutely bring brady back
also OP, I think goldstein and mikefrombaruch got banned. I went back to that thread to see if their old posts were there, they're all gone.
word of advice, if someone deserves a ban, just tag AndyLouis and he'll evaluate. the mods don't stay on the forums as much as the users do, so unless you hit "FLAG" or tag one of them, it may take a while for something to get done.
What makes you say ThatWholeYaleThing and Goldstein are the same person? Yale PMed me for some advice and has been super respectful, not looking for a hand out but more guidance.
he said it one of his posts. he's a highschool student
Wow, smh
Reading my name is goldstein posts was my guilty pleasure tbh
Bring back Fear the Bulge!
Did he get the hammer? I know his stories are complete BS but I always got a good chuckle or two out of them when reading. I hope he's not gone because I would love to see an update post of his "life".
nah, if someone's banned you can't even click their profile. he's not banned, just hasn't posted in a while
he definitely didn't get banned, not sure where he is
June was a hectic month and we these guys slipped through the cracks, but now goldstein and mikefrombaruch are banned fyi
damn you just debunked the low-level conspiracy theory that you were angel molester, fratlord, goldstein, mikefrombaruch, thewholeyalething, xgozax, tobinco, TNA, thebrofessor, wallstreetoasis.com, and idaho
lol that would be impressive
https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/user/458909
Lol one of them got certified.
FAKE NEWS!
Yes because he probably has proven that he works full time (for a minimum period of one year). Easiest way to get certified. Plus Angel Molestor is harmless and isn't run by the same person as my name is goldstein
It's also easy to loose your certified status by making fun of fat chicks.
Trolling
is
gay
Definitely not a troll, but figured I would inquire, where in the hell is @TNA" ?
Politics is to TNA like Sweet Scent is to Pokemon
I also think it lowers the quality of the site when those accounts post because they're not particularly funny. That being said, how do you deem whether an account that doesn't contribute real advice merits a ban or not? I think my posts are fairly amusing (been getting PMs about my potato puns hell ya), but do those really add value? I don't solely post off-topic content, but if I did would that be a bad thing? You mentioned posting in the off-topic section to boost rank as if that's a bad thin, but a) rank is meaningless and no one will ever pass @TNA" and b) many users get the bulks of their points from there.
My question is what is deemed a worthwhile contribution? What is so low quality that it gets someone banned? Spam/multiple account abuse seems like a fair criterion, but shit posting does not if users are consistently validating these posts with silver bananas.
No I'm not implying that posting in the off-topic section is bad. I was saying in my goldstein's case he would post pointless threads in the off-topic section (in order to boost rank) and then continually derail threads that actually were legitimately good. But yeah I guess you have a point here when you say "but a) rank is meaningless and no one will ever pass @TNA and b) many users get the bulks of their points from there.".
I will say it takes a special kind of person to get a post shitting on them to one of the top comments of all time
Grow up its all a joke stop taking shit seriously
are you not impressed
Opslivesmatter is also a troll that needs to be banned.
This site shouldn't allow bogus AMAs - spreading misinformation under the guise of an MD by some shithead analyst (prob not even an analyst at that).
Even worse the kid has several threads on bashing Asians
I feel like the avaerage age of the WSO user population keeps getting younger and younger. This thread is a great indication. There's already a lot of high schoolers, pretty soon there's going to be a surge of 12-year-olds
you can't tell i'm pubescent from my comments? :(
Not even in high school
Mrs. Sander's 8th grade class rules!!!
note: probably digging a monkey shit hole but whatever
Any advice for rising 5th grader at target junior high school seeking internship at boutique PE firm?
AndyLouis Why was my main account QGKZ banned? How is having 2k banana points and more banana points than MS a troll account? And it was the only account I used -- any other accounts were forgotten ones from 3+ years ago.
Just got hit with five at once. Glad my content is being holistically reviewed by the WSO community.
Fwiw, WSO caps monkey shit one person can throw at one user to 3 per day afaik, so it definitely looks like I'm getting tag-teamed. Ultimately the points don't matter, but having multiple accounts bombard my comment with childish drivel and monkey shit is annoying. I came here because I want good banter with other people in finance, not someone nitpicking my comment and substantiating the reply with six more non-material replies.
Am I Wrong? WallStreetOasis.com AndyLouis
+1 to you. Couldn't have said it any better.
Hey guys, anyone complaints about banning, mods and troll accounts, please message WallStreetOasis.com>[email protected], WallStreetOasis.com>[email protected] and WallStreetOasis.com>[email protected] with as many details and links you can. We'll do a full review this week, starting tomorrow.
We did recently block some members that were mentioned here as trolls... But also possible for us to also reverse voting if necessary after review.
As always, please also continue to flag violations for content on the site. It helps our small team stay above water!
Thanks, Patrick
@AndyLouis" @flying_snow"
agreed! some students actually take what these trolls say as serious so def hurts WSO. Anyways, we should bring back Ebola Monkey. Remember that guy?
I can hack through an ip ban easy with python
