To quote one of you "Don't discuss, just go fuck yourself."

I am guessing this has to do with me pissing in Stonemans cherrios, and the nesr facebook thread, with my last post and the thread being deleted. Sure Jay and I have had our diffrences in the past but I thought he had a sack.

Members beware... admins are implementing a shady policy called "miserable user" explination below. I recieved no pm, no warning.


Note: This modification is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, support will no longer be provided as the thread is no longer monitored. There is a 3.6 release of this modification here.

Here is a 3.5 version of the ever popular "miserable users" hack. Basically a way to really annoy anyone you don't want visiting your forum. Based on the original idea & hack for vb2 by Zzed, and the vb3 port by KuraFire.

When classed as miserable, a member suffers ;

1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).
3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).
4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).
7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.

Note: All the above options are set in the vBulletin Options.

To install this hack simply download the xml file to your pc and then import it into vbulletin as a product - then create your 'miserable users' usergroup and set the value of this group, and your preferred other settings, in the hacks settings area (vBulletin Oprions > Miserable Users). To make a member suffer just edit their profile to add them to the miserable users group (it will work as either the primary group or as a secondary group).



History:

v2.01 - Released as a product - all settings are in the vB options.
v2.02 - Added option for multiple usergroups to be defined as miserable.
v2.03 - Added option for IP addresses to be defined as miserable.
v2.04 - Updated multiple usergroups code.
v2.05 : Minor changes, no update necessary

Bump before I'm banned bump!

My thread had absolutely nothing to do with you or Stoneman. I was just having a little fun with my 'complaint'.

I thought it was funnay.

And for the record, I just checked and you're not in any sort of miserable users group.

And I just re-read the first post and yeah I read that way wrong the first time through.

[nefarious]

Not anymore

I try to make it a habbit of being well informed before I fire back.

As to why it happenend not 100% but above is my best guess

I can't comment further on the issue at hand, as this is the first I've heard of it. Not that I should have heard about it, I've been pretty adamant since I came back about not wanting to get directly involved with NESR politics.

The issue between you and Stoneman.

[nefarious]

Oh thats fine, I really didnt expect you to know of the later, just wanted you stance on the prior

[Stoneman]

Yip, I'll go fuck myself. Simply put Jacob, if you dislike it here as much as you so proudly exclaim so often, stop visiting. I can assure you, you won't be missed. You sir, are my hero...

[nefarious]

When did I, prior to this take aim at "here"

You don't like me for whatever reason, fine. Next time you see me then dont be such a fake prick. While we are here, why don't you give us a list of other members you don't like in person so that we dont have to waste the effort of being civil.

[Stoneman]

Oh, I don't recall you posting in the 'facebook thread', btw. I deleted the thread 'cuz we were discussing it privately (drop & I) and the thread got so far off base...

Basically Jacob, I could give a shit how you feel about anything here. There's really nothing more for me to say about it other than what I already did: if you hate it so much here, stop visiting...

I've never pretended to like you. Throughout life, people aren't gonna like you - or me for that matter. Get on with it. It's part of life...

So how often do you have house guest, shot the shit share a meal with people you dont like you fake son of a bitch.

I am fine with people not liking me. I am just here to call a spade a spade. I had no real dislike for you until now.

So you don't recall the thread you just decided to take a pot shot at me, because all I do is post on how I hate it here? Funny I don't buy that, from one graphic designer to another!

[nefarious]

Still waiting for a valid defense.... 1200 post in 4 years, thats less than a post a day. How many of those if any are actually about me stating I hate it here?

Now I am sure you will take the stance of not having to defend yourself, and that sir is why you are my hero. Mr big fish in a little pond.

You're right - I don't hafta defend myself. Why would I? This is rediculous...

[nefarious]

Oh selective memory... I have been to your house on several occasions in the past 3 years.

But Ill settle for point proven.

[TheIglu]

I like you Jay.

(is this a serious thread? if so, wow, some people are cranky pants)

[nefarious]

Its serious. The issue I had was with being effectively band, with no warning from someone, who i may have had not seen eye to eye one everything with, I still considered a friend.

And now he is claiming his actions where bases on my hate for nesr... i asked where and when, and he cant prove it.

[bigred875]

is this a real policy.....and is it really being utilized here?

[nefarious]

Yes it is... any admin that says otherwise is a straight out lair.

[bigred875]

awesome - Miserable Users - vBulletin.org Forum

admin, is this being used on this forum?

edit - if so, that's pretty crappy. I was under the assumption that this forum pride's itself on being moderated very little. This type of policy seem much worse. I'd much rather be moderated then put on a some list that makes it appear like something is wrong with my pc or something. People not very computer savvy could potentially waste money having their pc's looked at for performance issues.
