My name is being taken in vain
Lockedby tig2 · about 17 years, 10 months ago
I just noticed that the member who was Spuddy_M and became Sp_M this morning is now Tigger Two. why this person has found it necessary to do this is beyond me. While I recognise that my peers would not mistake him for me, I felt it responsible to provide some kind of alert to the situation. I would not wish to have trolling of any sort ascribed to me.
Hasn’t adopted my ribbon though. Couldn’t be TRI… or hasn’t done the requisite search for the site I got it from.

Tig, this isn’t the first time somebody like Spuddy has pulled this stunt.
by sleepin’dawg · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to My name is being taken in vain
Somebody once did it to Oz once upon a time, in an effort to elevate a little flame war we had going on between us. Oz was quite justifiably ticked off and if I remember correctly, it had the opposite effect of cooling us off a bit. I think you should appeal directly to Jay or Smorty but don’t keep silent about this. Post directly to the board and use cut and paste to illustrate your claim. The rest of us will probably climb all over him, like white on rice.
What he is doing is sneaky and treacherous and really has no place here on TR. This type of behaviour is definitely the act of a vile, gutless, troll. Stomp on him.
I’ve read some of his crap and doubt I would have been fooled for long but thanks for the heads up anyway. BTW my putting his name in the title may be visible to him but he will have no idea of what is being said about him. That should irk him a tad.
BTW, copying your ribbon isn’t too difficult to do, but he hasn’t got the courage to pull that. Just right click on your ribbon and load it to a photo sharing sight and then upgrade your profile; it’s done.

Second thread coming up!
I thought that you could copy an icon that way. Grrrr! But the fact that he hadn’t gone that far suggested to me that he hadn’t checked Apotheon’s Avatar thread. Apoth is hosting my ribbon for me for the Walk.
I didn’t know if I should post to the main thread or in here. Sounds like here is a good place to start.
Thanks again!

Take it to the streets Tig
by jdclyde · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Thanks, Dawg
First of all, he won’t even see your titles posted in here because you are not in his contact list. (nor is anyone else)
You can’t send this troll a peer message, because it is turned off.
I would say take this to the streets, baby! Move it out into open TR and call this loser on it.
“There is only room for ONE Tig2 in this town!” or something along the lines of this.
I think FAKE-tig will soon get many chastisements when people see what is going on, and the ID will change again.
I would START the discussion as if it were an honest mistake or a compliment that someone would idolize you so that they would wish to emulate your name, but point out that this MIGHT cause some confusion.
See you there!

by sleepin’dawg · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Dawg…
the most innocent words could be made to sound like swear words. At the time I joined the army somebody or other had raised a fuss about people of all ranks being cursed and sworn at. There were even protests about physical acts like a kick in the butt being too abusive. I assume a bunch of mothers must have been protesting to their members of parliament.
An order came down that swearing and curse words were no longer acceptable language and that it was against regulations to physically touch anyone without their permission. As an officer cadet the only thing separating me from regular soldiers was that I had to be addressed, prefixed by either my rank or sir. The drill seargents very quickly learned how to make the words “Officer Cadet” or “Sir” sound like curse words. You soon learned how to do it yourself with the right sort of intonation. It is a little harder to imply it through writing but I try to do my best. :^0

by sleepin’dawg · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to My name is being taken in vain
He has edited his original post to start the thread down to a period and is using the Dr.Jones alias. You mentioned something about his points not appearing in his profile anymore.
I looked down the thread until about 10 – 15 from the bottom and there is a post from someone called
E= which I am positive was a spuddy post originally. The interesting thing here is that the account was started June 2006 and already has 10K Q&A points. I’m not sure how he has managed to do this but I’m curious.[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

by tig2 · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Tig, there is something odd going on.
I am also suspicious of “Messaging Guy” who showed up out of nowhere and has no history.
So what can we do? I think that Jay and Smorty should know that there is an extrordinary level of BS going on.
I just don’t want to find myself out of TR on the basis of questioning someone’s inapproriate use of my identitiy. Went through it- still cleaning up the mess. Will be until I die, most likely. At least here I don’t have demands for payment, only my good name.
What worries me was the post that Spud made just prior to going lunatic. It almost seemed coherent. I can’t count on this ***** (I can’t call him what I want to!) to just be an idiot.
Now what?
(I will edit for the “oh poor me” thing later. I am feeling pretty rotten just now)

by hal 9000 · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Dawg, I am MORE than curious
Don’t let this fool get you down it’s not worth your time and effort in getting upset!
Remember that [b]Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery[/b] as Spuddy can’t seem to get its act together it’s hoping that by taking on a name similar to yours that it gets some credibility which of course unless it [b]Cuts & Pastes[/b] all your posts it will fail miserably to achieve.
But while we are on the subject of Avatars what does a Yellow Ribbon in the same shape mean? I’ve seen at least one used here and on [b]Breast Cancer Awareness Week[/b] here a lot of Pollies wear Pink, Yellow & Black ribbons. The Black I can understand but not the yellow.
As the [b]Troll[/b] has already changed its name [Several Times now] I’ll not bother to point you in the correct direction as both Jay and Smorty can only pass on your complaint but lets know if you need any direct contact with TR and I can point you in the right direction. ;\

In reply to I sincerely apologise
it’s justified.
Having just had a quick catch up (I’m bloody amazed at how many posts on various misc. threads have gone on the board over(my)nite) it seems that there are at least two, possibly three people in play here, other than yourself. Coming to this with a clean mind, i.e. not having previous knowledge before 10am UK time, there are distinct similarities to the trained eye within some posts.
I’ll keep watching, but I’m not going to post much except in here. (I have a little something up my sleeve)
I think the peers in TRI need a back up plan to cope with idiots; the basics being that we post in here who’s trolling/flaming and get the word out. That way we can ensure those of us who have the most active contacts don’t post, therefore the trolls don’t get the threads read/subscribed to.
(Sorry if this is a bit garbled, I’m just trying to take a break from the dooziest investigation I’ve ever had to do, so the brain is in overdrive)
Tricia, remember: “Never apologise, Mister, it’s a sign of weakness”

The best LAID plans of mice and men
by jdclyde · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to I sincerely apologise
[i]~sigh~[/i]
I confess. FakeTiggerThree was me.
One, I didn’t plan on Tig getting so upset of that account.
Two, I didn’t think she would be on as late as I was, and was going to poke some fun at the regulars. Hey, Mambo did it, it was my turn!
Three, I was doing my BEST to be as OBVIOUS as to who I was in this alter ego, now named “Just Fake”. True, not as obvious as edylcdj or something (hey, thats not half bad!) but oh well.
Four, It seemed like a good idea at the time?
Five, even when I tried to contact Tig with a peer to straighten things out and say I was sorry, things got even more out of hand. 🙁
I will refrain. I leave the alteregos to Mambo, the master of disguise.
lastly, too bad the only thing that is GETTING laid around my house are the plans…… :0

I had no idea that JD had decided to play. In his defense, he left all kinds of clues and I was so worried about Spuddy I didn’t see them. And I apologise to JD for being so nasty. It wasn’t necessary- even if HAL said I was being polite (tongue in cheek?)
I apologise for being a dimwit- I honestly thought that JD had been hi-jacked too. I feel like a MAJOR idiot now.
Only a real MAN will come to the table and be this honest. He didn’t have to, but is too honest not to. I value him for his honesty and willingness to insure that we all know his part.
I feel pretty stupid just about now. I can only apologise.

In reply to The best LAID plans of mice and men
you have to admit your timing was a bit off, considering how upset she was with this whole business.
After all, the lady was a victim of identity theft in her real life and maybe still is, so I can sort of understand her anger over this matter. I don’t think the rest of us have any idea of what really having to deal with that can be like. Traumas like that leave scars, even if they are invisible.
Anyway, it’s good you cleared that up. It takes real balls to stand up and admit your errors and/or sins. You’re a good man Jd, even if your sense of humour is slightly warped.
Mind, do that again and Tig will probaly make sure you are never going to be capable of getting LAID ever again. :^0

This [b]SMEGHEAD[/b] isn’t worth the bother just get on with your [b]Great Weekend[/b] and forget all about this [b]CRETIN![/b]
Trolls like this live to feed of others displeasure so if you stop feeding it, it will die a natural death and disappear up its own [b]Fundamental Orifice where it belongs![/b]
I know it’s little pleasure but it did award you 3K of Tech Points so take them and [b]Run/Walk for Life.[/b] This is the only time that I really wish that the Tech Points had any real value as at least you would have gotten something out of this [b]BOZO.[/b]
I know that it’s a [b]Royal Pain in the AA$$[/b] but if you ignore it, it will soon find nothing to do here as no one will bother even replying to any posts from it so it will be left all alone and wonder why no one is replying to anything that it posts.
Getting Worked Up is [b]BAD for your Health[/b] and you honestly don’t need a [b]Total Looser[/b] like this bothering you. It’s done as it wanted to do and is now only protracting the pain longer by these [b]Stupid Changes.[/b]
Go to [b]My Discussions and UNSubscribe[/b] from whatever it’s actually called now and forget all about it. Think of it this way it is only helping to spread the Word about [b]Breast Cancer[/b] which I really don’t think it realises yet what it is doing. So instead of looking at it as if this [b]Troll[/b] is hurting you don’t give it the pleasure and ignore it completely you’ll honestly feel much better and it will not understand why there are now no new responses to it. While I do agree with you that it needs a [b]Good Kick in the Head[/b] in an attempt to knock some sense into it you are fighting a Loosing battle here as it is only adversely affecting you so it really isn’t worth the [b]Pain & Suffering[/b] that it is attempting to cause.

But I managed to drag my tail through 34 miles this week and if the smegger wants to be me so badly, perhaps he will take some exercise as well.

JD and Dawg
by tig2 · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to My name is being taken in vain
Hope you think to look here or PM.
I think that the thing from the Black Lagoon showed up- both Misc and the career thread.
“certboy” and “tomp” have a lot in common- they both showed up just lately and neither of them can be peer mailed. Gee, and we just got “rid” of a problem child…
I apologise for the obscure references. I was trying to lead to this conclusion but completely forgot that Spuddy was never TRI… I don”t think. The ribbon hijack was from the webhost, not from Apoth’s hosting. I hadn’t changed over at that point. But I did check the origin when it started and killed the file. Hence my new ribbon.
It appears that we are ahead on the “hug” thread… No JD, I hadn’t lost my mind. I only posted known information and was trying to see what happened if the originator thought I was sympathetic. Saw the “Dilemma” thread too and sniffed. I think that both are trolls- but kept trying to look like a supporter- didn’t want to do “name change part deux”.
Personally think that smeghead showed up in both places- which supports Dawg’s theory that there are multiples. Too great a difference in approach- or perhaps one person spread too thin? Or deliberately ignoring one discussion to see what would happen with the discussion with the most posts. That seems to be a consideration for the smegger- he poitedit out a number of times in the “CAUGHT” thread. Thought himelf quite the man becasue of the post number.
Anyway- I apologise for my cryptic responses to your considered comments. I just think that we are being played from two sides.

I knew what I was trying to say but also trying to be obscure enough that my current paranoia level was satisfied.
A new discussion started up in Careers that was identical to the flame war that Spuddy started. At virtually the same time, a rather heated thread showed up in Misc. They both have the same characteristics- which are the same as Spuddy M, e.g. flame anyone who doesn’t agree with me.
Dawg is of the opinion that this was more than one person (gestault entity?), I am not sure if it is one or more than one. I was trying to figure out who the person was- I know, I know. I’ll let it go now…

Though I personally think that there is a group of similar minded students who are fiends and have got together and are bombarding TR in an attempt to upset the Apple Cart.
The best way is to ignore them totally as they seem to be creating [b]User Accounts on the Run[/b] to make out that there are more of them than there actually are. I think that we’ll only see one post from each account unless the post gets answered in a manner that they dislike and then they will continue to run with the account/s that get the most hits.

There has to be something like that as there are way too many new accounts without and details about themselves appearing. I haven’t seen this previously at this time of the year but I’m guessing that it has to be something like this happening. 😉
Or has TR gone on a [b]New Members Drive[/b] to push their numbers up so they can charge more for the advertising? I’ve just noticed adds with Local content here which are generally something that I never look at but for some reason a Dell Banner Add caught my attention as it had a price in AU$ now I can’t help but look at the [b]Bloody Adds.[/b] :_|
What is happening here looks like one of the other Discussion Sites which is populated by children who have driven all the Pros from that Site away in droves. Maybe that site has now degenerated into a total fiasco and the children have decided that they now need new ground to stomp around in to make it suit their needs. But will all the sudden new accounts listed as June 2006 popping up I’m beginning to get really suspicious about any new member who suddenly appears. They are just taking Peers names [i]or the closest derivatives that they can get[/i] at random and replying ridiculously. Good thing that I’m really Mellow now days or I might get into trouble again. 😉

You’ll learn to fully appreciate just how uncaring the so called [b]Caring Profession[/b] actually is and they will not give you any [b]Anti Depression/Stress Medication[/b] till you’ve gone well and truly over the edge and no dropping big heavy Blades onto their cars to get attention, you’re just going to have to go [b]Cold Turkey[/b] and [/b] NO that doesn’t mean Wild Turkey![/b] 😀
Just to add some fun to things you are now officially listed as the Vista Fix it Guy here at TR so everyone Ask JD for any help regarding Vista or Office 12 he has all the answers. ;\
And JD if you don’t accept this I’ll get it made into a [b]Royal Decree from the Queen Geek[/b] and no one in their right mind crosses her and lives to tell the tail. Have you noticed that Neil still isn’t out of Hiding yet. B-)
As for the previous new posters here I’ve seen quite a few of them complaining that we stray [b]Off Topic[/b] or worse still in their eyes are never [b]On Topic[/b] as this is a Technical Forum and they just have to jump into the [b]Water Cooler[/b] discussions but I haven’t seen anyone making new Site Alias for themselves that closely follow an existing Peers or things like what’s happening in that silly [b]Dilemma[/b] thread where they are just picking up names and making new accounts. ?:|

In reply to Now JD as punishment for upsetting Tig
Sorry, but we have laws against torture here in the US against US citizens. We also have a thing called “cruel and unusual punishment”, which this fits the bill of!
Besides, Scotch isn’t alcholol, it is Scotch! 😀
VISTA? Gig of ram to run a friggen word processor? I see a linux desktop in my future…….. :p
You are just being mean now! X-(

Not Likely I’m just trying to give you a leg up in the Vista Stakes so you’ll know so much more than the rest of us [b]Lowly Grunts in the Trenches.[/b] ;\
This is neither [b]Torture or Cruel and Inhumane Punishment[/b] it’s a learning experience of both being clear headed and getting in on the M$ Vista Craze that is rapidly approaching. It will also give you [b]First Hand[/b] experience of the Medical Profession so how is any of this which is a [b]Learning Experience[/b] considered anything else? :p
Remember it’s for your [b]Own Good[/b] and really isn’t a form of [b]Punishment[/b] it’s really nothing more than [b]Careerer Advancement[/b] for you and we are the ones suffering to allow you this advanced knowledge. 😀
