Arioch Posted October 13, 2001 I have recently (today) enacted bans covering AOL's proxy servers, which are used exclusively by AOL's browser. This was a step taken in reaction to the latest wave of spammers exemplified in fatman. However, this proxy ban covers a number of other people as well, and I'd like to ask a question of all of you. AOL's browser uses a proxy server by default, and in blocking the ranges for those proxy servers, we can prevent posting on Doomworld forums from the likes of fatman, but in the process, some of you will have to switch browsers. Or, I can remove the bans, fatman can continue making his posts, and Lüt can keep Post-Helling them. What shall it be? 0 Share this post Link to post
Liam Posted October 13, 2001 Anybody on AOL needs to get a new browser anyway. Go ahead with the proxy banning. 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted October 13, 2001 Anybody on AOL needs to get a new browser anyway. I'll have you know I've had IE and Netscape as long as I've had AOL, for just such circumstances. 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted October 13, 2001 Hmm...alot of people use AOL, so I would say, give Lüt the extra work, or just username ban fatman. 0 Share this post Link to post

Arioch Posted October 14, 2001 Millions of people successfully use a dial-up provider OTHER than AOL, hundreds of thousands more are able to get some sort of broadband be it cable or DSL. Question is: why AOL? 0 Share this post Link to post
999cop Posted October 14, 2001 Millions of people successfully use a dial-up provider OTHER than AOL, hundreds of thousands more are able to get some sort of broadband be it cable or DSL. Question is: why AOL? Because there are also millions of people use AOL than other ISP, and there are hundreds of thousands more are not able to get some sort of broadband be it cable or DSL. Hmm...alot of people use AOL, so I would say, give Lüt the extra work, or just username ban fatman. Yeah, hope Lut would support this. I mean how hard could it be just to ban fatman's IP by arranging it by a little for eternity 0 Share this post Link to post
ReX Posted October 14, 2001 Wipe them out! All of them! Uh, I just got carried away a little there. No need for such drastic measures. Exterminating annoying pests should be reserved for a lower class of invertebrates, so disregard my suggestion. Heh! 0 Share this post Link to post
999cop Posted October 14, 2001 In another point of view, I guess there is nothing else to argue about, cuz' it's the decision that arioch has made, and rules are rules. There won't be any changes can be made unless arioch would change his mind or Linguica will concern about this. Otherwise there is not much left to say 0 Share this post Link to post

Phoenix Posted October 15, 2001 Ban AOL! I love that and outlaw Netscape. OK serious now, the one who never posted dumb post raise his hand. Man, this forum is about a fucking game called Doom, why take it dead serious? Make L(whatever)t work for his money. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted October 15, 2001 Make L(whatever)t work for his money.But, I don't get any money ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted October 15, 2001 Well I don't even have one thread created by me that's in post hell. I'm pretty sure I won't have a lot of them either, mainly cuz I don't make any new topics I just respond to ones that exist. Reason for that is because I don't have anything to say; going through threads that were made by other people gives me something to say, and therefore keeps me from getting bored for the time I don't have anything better to do. 0 Share this post Link to post

Phoenix Posted October 15, 2001 But, I don't get any money ;) OK Lüt, then ban all AOL and automatically redirect all Netscape users to Post Hell or too this page. Why? Glad you asked, try to use your IE "Back" button to get out of this site. They can’t even do HTML, murharharhar. 0 Share this post Link to post
