Subject: The "Group Conqueror"

So there's this user by the name of "Group Conqueror". Based off his name I can assume he goes around trying to disrupt and possibly take over groups.

So, how does one avoid him? Or better yet, how do you detect if he's using an alt? Is there a pattern to it?

Discuss your experiences, because I'm sure this affects all of us that are part of groups.

Also, if this isn't allowed just lock mods. I'm not looking for trouble.

If you are the admin of a group, never, EVER, give someone else full control. EVER. Too many group admins give control over to someone else, and usually that someone else kicks people out and then deletes the group.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Just be smart about who you give power to in groups and you have nothing fear.

Thanks.

I'm a forum ninja in my group (and only there :( ) and I noticed we had a new member. I decided to check it out, and I found him. I banned him on the spot.

However he could come back with an alt... So I'll be weary of new members now.

You banned him based on his username?

I've seen him do his work in another group.

Wasn't really mine, and I left shortly after he joined. Sure enough, the group was deleted a few weeks after. I tried searching it and I couldn't find it.

Oh, fair enough. I thought it was just because of his username.

I would also advise that the permissions "Edit Security" and "Kick Members" be used with extreme caution.

Perhaps any group whos admin decides to give full control permissions to a user named: Group Conqueror isn't a group you should really be in.

OT: I am a Mod in The Legend of Korra group. Our old admin/original founder stood down due to a poor personal attendance record and transferred total control over to two people. We all trust each other. That is what is important, trust.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

There are some fairly easy checks you can do to see if someone's an alt. You won't get 100% of them, but you can get close. We do this in the Sapphire member queue all the time to keep out blacklisted members who try to join on new accounts.

The pattern is that they join the group and then post, pretending that they are actually a threat. Then I kick them.

Like everybody else has said, never give anybody else Full Control if you are the admin. Limit other admins and mods to people whom you heavily trust. You shouldn't have any problems.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

He already tried to impersonate Garland, one of my mods in TFS. I caught him early, thank god.

He really plans out his disruption attempt and is has a lot of patience for it. He's still in my group, I know it, but I'm more adamant than ever about not giving Admin powers to anyone. Me and Felicia have always and will always hold true to that.

Just ban the guy. It's DarthDizor a.k.a Purgatory. Don't even give him full control. He's nothing but a drama queen. All group conquers are.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Oh, it's easy to take over a group.

Just find a dead one and reinvigorate it. =)

He's harmless unless you actually give him the power to kick users and/or full control in your group. There's no way to really track alternate accounts, but they can't really do anything unless you give them the powers that I've already stated. There is a risk of this user using alternate accounts to spam you're group, but you can just deal with that by banning them and what not.
