Hmmmm...this Smacks of something fishy. But the Church Lady would never do anything like that.
Some of you may have noticed recently a new member sign on as Qsefrus.
I feel it our responsibility to tell you that Qsefrus has been banned.
He was using several different IP address from all across the globe: Vancouver, Berlin, California, DC.....
This was the first red flag and was enough alone for him to be banned.
Second, everybody please notice Qsefrus spelled backwards is Surfesq.
Coincidence? Maybe. You make the call.

Maybe he travels a lot. That and his user name got him banned? Doesn't matter to me but doesn't seem that bad to me.

our rules are simple..
no sock puppets no fake ids, no fake IPs
This case the IP changed from Berlin to Toronto in minutes..zap...no questions about
If one is not man enough to be here honestly..zap...
AI... use of anonymizer IP's is permitted on some boards and not on others. My experience in several places as a mod is that 99% of the time it is someone looking to cause trouble and disrupt the community. Furthermore...it makes a mockery out of banning a troublemaker. I think it is a good decision for the community that anonymizer IP's not be tolerated. One should not sign up on a board if one does not trust the admin and mods to protect any personal information of "non-trolls".
That said...individual ID's have never been required here and I'm sure Alex did not mean to suggest that we can't hide behind our boat names or whatever other ID we go by. I think he really means that we need to be GENUINELY who we purport to be... not some scammer pretending to be a north dakota sailor living in an RV. Look at all the time people wasted welcoming that idiot here and trying to make him feel welcome. We should tolerate that? I vote NO.

no...off course not...
there is people here for one purpose, and other for another purpose..you, have built your reputation here and have posted correct stuff..right?
we can see things in the background you guys can't...even with made up and fake screen names...we can see clear
There is a lot of background work the mods do, to run a site like this one.
And they do a good job
Be careful where you tread,
Chief Ten Blue Balls has many indians with sharp tomahawks at hand.
The guy was living in a RV!! Should have been banned instantly.

Hey, what's wrong to aspire moving from a trailer to a MacGregor?
Just with his command of English, it smelled like troll from the get go. Good job with the boot!
Okay, got it. Extenuating circumstances and all that jazz.
(there are commie pinkos in Toronto?!? i can't tell from across the lake. ahhhh...)

Well, given that a certain former Catalac sailors supporters were using IP anonymizing web proxies previously, I'm all for banning this troll.
You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

So you all know..
this morning QSefrus tried to log in.
He was seen by me, I ran a quick chck on the IP, guess who it was?
Smackdaddy...he just doesn't know when to quit..just goes to show...fortunately, we have ways to see things.
Another quick check and he has no less than 12 different IPs
Thought you would like to know

Hmm, all of the usual suspects in this here lynching. Why am I NOT surprised....
Yep. If he did in fact attempt to log on with a new username while spoofing his IP and then later was caught out on his real home IP then yes, he deserves a public outing and a kick in the nads... I figure that if I get flicked, then "F" the site I got flicked from. They just ain't worth my time... That's why ya didn't see me jump on the "stuff" threads. Their loss....
Ok, after seeing the actual IP readouts, I concur that Smack and this other user were the same. Spoofing IP's with the intent of logging onto and trolling a forum that has banned you is NOT cool and is in it's own right a valid reason for banning on ANY forum I've ever posted on. The only bit I have issue with is the continual sniping at the banned member. In this instance it was a valid consequence of his actions. Having said that, how many here went back or attempted to go back to stuffiminto under false pretenses to continue the battle with Herr Sully? Well???? Regardless, I think it's run it's course.
That's the wonderful thing about internet boards. We all get to relive our junior high days.. Definitely not cool to troll and spoof but I guess I just don't care enough about the person in question to care one way or the other.
As you were.
the difference Charlie, is at Stuffers, we were ALL attacked, one way or the other, by the guy there..and we all reacted to him being unfair to some there..which is different here..
This case, I may or not (depends on the view point), be unfair towards Smack..that depends on the people who agree or not..but its a one on one..I am not doing a mass banning...I am doing a one man with multiple personalities ban..which is no more that our right, and in our rules..ts so simple
So you know..we had forgotten about him, I swear...and the day he was banned, I asked the mods, by PM to not allow any bashing of Smack because he wasn't here to defend himself..(Chuckles even closed the thread, remember?), and even gave him till midnight to say whatever he wanted to say..was I unfair?
Then he chose to come here...once again play his thing..and be what he always was..(I can't believe I am saying this)..a troll...his posts here and his new ID here were nothing but trouble..
so we're simply reacting to his moves...he craps..we don't clean it anymore..we crap back..I am tired of him and his little issues..
He goes away and leaves the place alone...people will forget him...he comes back with stunts...people will jump on him..what you expect?
Simple as that...the difference is this..before..he crapped and laughed all the time..he had nothing to lose...BUT NOW..he has his little site he is trying to build...so now he changed his dudeness...and became a whinness..
Funny how people change...

PS, thanks for seeing the IP proof.
I have been a member since early on and have done some sailing and enjoy it. I hope to own a sailboat but maybe running out of time ( age 68) I have no dog in this fight and enjoyed smack but if he broke the rules of this sight he should be banned.

It's strange. I make my living in IT. Only time I modify my ip is to test security on a client (very rare but I can think of a time or two) and - yes i confess- to get BBC feeds that are restricted to brit ip's and that (though debateable as to ethics and legality) is to watch the occasional program i cannot recieve in Canada.
Of course my desense there is to point at Canadian and American television![]()
