IP Ban for Latest Trolls

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.

 

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.

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".

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
 

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

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.".

 

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

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.

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
