If there is a moderator here, please go to the zanzibar. there is a guy named jumbothemidgit, who is spamming the hell out of it. He's posted at least 30 times saying "I LOVE ANGELINA JOLIE" and stuff like that.

I think if you have multiple email accounts, and a will, you may be able to create a new passport and hence a new bungie.net account.

Geez, that guy's got a LOT of time on his hands...

Oh, and welcome to The Maw, you Zanzibar people! Sry for any rough introductions! Just try to keep things like that to, say, "The Flood".

Actually, creating news accounts does no good. My friends have been blacklisted before, and when they created a hotmail account, it recognized them and banned the new account as well. There must be some IP address recognition or something...?

Yep. They ban based on the IP or origin rather than e-mail addresses to keep people from being on once they have been banned. The only way to get around it is use another IP and e-maill address- but if you're willling to go through that amount of effort into getting on a message board, there are no doubt more serious issues with the person.

Actually, I found the level of poor moderation on these boards to be appalling. Redundant threads, especially in New Mombasa, is rampant, spam, bad behavior, etc. If Bungie wanted to smoothe things out, they'd appoint at least 6-12 new mods and send them to work. Check out the boards for theforce.net and see how tight that place is run. Each forum has at least two mods, some have as many as six, and everyone helps everyone else when it comes to curbing bad behavior. Mind you, it is a double edged sword- people have been banned for very minor offenses while others go unpunished for gross violations of the TOS, but most of the time it's very well run.

They nail people at TF.N for: Threats, Swearing, Name calling, general abuse, and other things. You have NO First Ammendmant rights at TF.N, but as annoying as that might be, it does keep the 50,000+ members well behaved for the most part. I'm not saying we need that heavy of a moderator presence here, but a little more control would be nice.

Take that number and multiply it by twenty. That's about how many members there are here.
