Hadn't thought of that. Which potentially means we could get another barage of spam tonight.
Looks like me and Pasta called it correctly. I'm guessing we're getting a third round of it tonight.

Yep, unfortunately
If he has a Dynamic IP we are completely screwed...

Also don't forget he could just use a proxy and mask his IP. Hopefully etyl listened to my suggestion and implemented it already, in which case this problem won't happen again. Otherwise he will have a lot of work to do later on.

Well if you're emailing them, I wouldn't mind a peek, if its not too much hassle
It's done.

Well this is bad. We have no safeguards. I could fix this in three minutes, probably Nuppiz too seeing as he knows the phpBB software, but as usual the guys with the knowledge don't have the access rights...

The difference is that Shinji's IP address has not been blocked, whereas J.Z.'s hopefully has been.
Let's hope he doesn't gain access by other means...

OK, uh, I would request you never call him by that abbreviation ever again, the initials J.Z. stand for integrity, loyalty and professionalism. Please don't tarnish it by using it in reference to the mentally deranged spammer.

That is really young.
I remember when I was twelve, the World Wide Web was not used much by the common man.
Personally, my greatest possessions back then were my bike, my NES and the family vcr.
Now, I'm no technophobe, but there is too many options and gadgets for the kids today. It's all a little crazy, to be honest.
I have two younger siblings so I know what I'm talking about.
I actually read through all of his posts and IIRC in one of them, he said he was born in 1990

I can also say I was born in 1990. When in reality I was born in 1992. In fact I actually did that on another forum because I didn't meet the age limit at the time.

Thanks for the email Jocke1, I may have told you guys I have history with that guy
But in all seriousness, if I was an American and therefore awake at that time(2:30 GMT) I would have posted something nasty in defense as I, like everyone else on here, have a right to defend what we think but what Joey Zyla said took it to far and if I had to post a reply, I will not post what I would have said as I may offend a forum so I shall keep those thoughts to myself but all can say is thank god he is gone!! Also the new Bring Me The Horizon album Sempiternal has a line that sums up what I may have said if the album was out in January instead of April
" You can say I'm just a fool that stands for nothing, Well to that, I say you're a c***"
The song is called Anti vist and the album, Sempiternal is OMFP good

Are you Oliver Sykes, by any chance?
I think if I hadn't come across The Stone Roses (quite by accident as it turned out) about three or so years ago, I would probably be a massive fan of BMTH and similar bands, as I was quite into heavy metal/hard rock when I was 14/15. Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni completely shifted my music taste towards 90s Britpop and 00s indie rock/pop over the course of 2010.

I tried to edit the first post to include the Warren Hughes post but it wouldn't let me for some strange reason and I completely forgot by the time I made the third post although it is incredibly tempting to post the Joey Zyla posts on that forum Warren mentioned
