Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by xbat Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? I came here for help and now I have a bully called lastmitch.

Re: Facebook Source for Childhood Bullying Against Redheads 15 Years Ago by MktgRob Facebook stalking, facebook bullying, failure to tweet as a misdemeanor (previous post by me)...Social media is slowly becoming the bad part of town! LOL Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by Octet If you are being bullied or notice anything that is against the Terms and Conditions on the Daniweb forum, then there are adequate facilities to report it to a team of moderators and admins. Admittedly with 951 down voted posts, it appears he/she is doing something wrong but creating a random thread isn't the way to do it. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by deceptikon > Admittedly with 951 down voted posts, it appears he/she is doing something wrong Note that the vast majority of those votes were made by a single person. When looking at votes, also look at the unique voters. If the number of votes is high and the number of voters is low, that means a small number of accounts were used to make the votes.

Ah right, thanks for the advice. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by Reverend Jim If you have been threatened or abused then please post links to the threatening/abusive posts or use the "Flag Bad Post" tool to initiate a follow-up. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by john.knapp Too late, the OP is banned now... Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by LastMitch >He has been sending messages for me to do stuff that I don't want to do. He has also threatened me too. First of all, I never PM him at all. Second of all, I never threatened him. Third of all, I only downvoted him **1** time. The consequence of that **1** downvote cause this person to downvote me **930** times for what? For not writing… Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by Ancient Dragon >The consequence of that 1 downvote cause this person to downvote me 930 times for what? I thought there was a limit for the maximum times a member can up/down vote another member in the same day? Were all those downvotes on the same day? Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by deceptikon > I thought there was a limit for the maximum times a member can up/down vote another member in the same day? That's a negatory. But after this I'm inclined to look into adding flood control to voting. > Were all those downvotes on the same day? About 200 were yesterday and the rest were today. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by Ancient Dragon Dani applied voting flooding control a couple years ago when DaniWeb was under vBulletin because another member did something similar. Maybe you need to implement it here. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by PrimePackster Please revert all the downvotes lastmitch recieved from xbat. Otherwise people can get the wrong idea, like in the second post on this thread. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by Reverend Jim As I understand it, I could go and upvote all of the posts that were downvoted by xbat but that wouldn't undo the damage. The posts would have a net balance of zero, but the down votes would still affect his posting quality rating. The only one who can actually make the down votes go away is the OP who can no longer do that by virtue of being … Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by JorgeM @deceptikon, the rep you gave LastMitch didn't count I believe because we are in a non-technical forum category. Based on Reverend Jim's remark, couldn't someone just log in with that account and just up vote all of the down votes? This would not require a manual, direct change of any database tables. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by <M/> This is absurd, xbat is banned (that is good) but LastMitch losing his points still makes no sense to me. JorgeM is right, why not up vote the down votes??? Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by Nick Evan We're still working on this "behind the scenes" Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by deceptikon > @deceptikon, the rep you gave LastMitch didn't count I believe because we are in a non-technical forum category. Community Center, where the discussions can be anything and points don't matter. ;) Yes, I'm aware that reputation points weren't applied, but that doesn't make the rep worthless. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by gerbil Forums. Road rage and drive-by shootings. The aggression is not naked, it's more that the aggressor is cloaked. How little it can take to provoke. Luv it. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by happygeek I have spent some time today upvoting posts by LastMitch and his post score has now gone from 35% to 63%. I suggest anyone who feels strongly about all of this does the same. Between us we should be able to push it up a bit further. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by PrimePackster > I suggest anyone who feels strongly about all of this does the same.

Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by PrimePackster > I suggest anyone who feels strongly about all of this does the same. Between us we should be able to push it up a bit further. Well! I did upvote+Rep points for 5 pages worth of Posts(From his profile)....... But unlike you, it just made a difference of 1%...... So all of the greats of DAniweb will have to do this job....... (No offence … Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by Dani If anything, I think this ordeal will just show Last Mitch how the entire community rallys together to help him. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by GliderPilot I was counter voting xbat's down votes in the first thread when the whole thing happened, but that was before he went off the deep end and down voted 300 times. I just went through and up voted a few pages of his posts, I don't have much rep power so it doesn't make a huge difference but he's up to 66% now Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by Ancient Dragon > I don't have much rep power so it doesn't make a huge difference He didn't have any either, so your vots more than counteract his. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by JorgeM Wouldnt it be more effective is someone logged in with xbat's account and remove the downvotes? I think that this will have a better result. [Edit] While all of this upvoting is very nice, in the grand scheme of things, it isnt going to make a lot of sense for a future member or someone that is not aware of this fiasco on why many of LastMitch'… Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by Dani Unfortunately that's not possible, Jorge :( Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by JorgeM oh, well...i would have volunteered if it was possible. Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by LastMitch Hi I appreciate everyone concern about this issue. I be honest with you I didn't know how I would deal this kind of issue to begin with. I didn't expect this. It's alot of upvotes. I'm surprise. I also recieve over **156** emails from **Daniweb** just today. The most I ever receive is **16** at a time. Those emails are usually let me know which … Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by ~s.o.s~ > I still think the best approach is to use xbat's account to remove what that idiot did, although i have no idea on how the system on this site works...just seems reasonable. I have a feeling that in the future Daniweb will have an option of allowing the "owner" to "override" pretty much every user action action. That … Re: Why does daniweb.com allow bullying on there forums? 12 Years Ago by happygeek Unfortunately I am not sure that will be possible, mainly due to the potential for setting legal precedence with regards to privacy suits etc. It's a bit of a minefield legally, as I understand it, not to mention something of an ethical trampoline if we are asking members to sign up to one set of 'rules' which we then happily break ourselves, no …
