Admin questions on restricting members

Some may say this is none of my business but I would like to know if Spike was released from KK or if he is still confined to the KK. If he was released, then is he free to post in TRW forum?

Why should I be concerned? Because it has come to my attention recently that a report I made on a post went ignored by the administration (per the troll's brags).

It is very difficult to keep a civil and controlled temperament in the forums when elements are allowed to freely troll through the forums. I've had this same troll follow me around the board in the past posting nasty, attacking remarks that never went punished. Granted, my response was to ignore the troll and not report it in the past, but I felt that administration should have taken those attacks seriously. I'm not the only member of this board who feels this way, and I wonder if members have left because this behavior is allowed to occur.

The answer to the above question (from the administration of this board) may make a difference on where I continue to post on this board.

The KK is not for this kind of question, That's why it got overlooked.

Go to the Town Hall.

He's been given supervised parole.

Sorry it wasn't intended to subvert the rules. I didn't know where this went. Thanks.

You don't want me to open this there, right? I think you've answered my question.

If it is any consolation for you, complaints to these personal attacks

http://www.otcentral.com/forum/showpost.php?p=631585&postcount=97

were not addressed either. Oh well, no biggie. The ignore button is your friend. ;)
I don't need the ignore button to ignore most of the trolling. Thanks for your advice, though. Sometimes it is quite overboard, especially when I'm followed around the board (this is a good example).

BTW, your links are from about a year ago? Wow, you really hold a grudge!

Let's stop this and make OTC a better place. You know what Thumper's mom said, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

You can create usergroups with different permissions. There is a usergroup for mods/admins, who get access to every forum, including the mod's hideout and the bomb shelter. People who have donated money to the site don't get to go to the mod's hideout but do get to go to the bomb shelter. Some boards have a "miserable users" group. People who get sent to the KK get moved into a usergroup for that. It sounds like Spike is in another usergroup that gets to go everywhere he was able to go to before except for the RW forum.

Then this would make sense, since he seems to be only restricted from RW.

Problem is that, much like when he was in the KK, it brings otherwise RW-type threads into other parts of the forum. :shrug:

The RW forum is overrun with craziness and trolling. You can't start a serious thread without someone posting that "Obama is a Marxist/Socialist/Communist" even if the thread has nothing to do with President Obama. It's ridiculous and childish. I've limited myself to what threads in there I am willing to respond to and even limited what I will respond to in those threads.

Someone has to make a stand for intelligent debate and against the trolling. I'd like to see this board populated with people who want that too.

I had originally stopped posting in TRW forum until Spike was cleared (after he had spent quite a lot of time in the KK while others went unpunished). I wanted to make a stand against the craziness and to stand with Spike. I thought he had been released so I started posting there in TRW forum again. Then I found out that he couldn't post in TRW forum. Hence this thread, trying to find answers to my questions.
