Vote to Retire a ForumBuildr Build! (Round One) | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
I bet it had something to do with those entries that were just random gibberish that appeared some time ago. Probably someone who’s ****ed that nobody liked his idea for the BEST FORUM EVAR!!1! and decided to take it out on the rest of us by downvoting everything and/or breaking into the Forumwarz servers to delete everything that wasn’t his when nobody was looking. Either way, someone had better do something about it.
Edit: After posting this, I found a threatening tubmail in my inbox from someone called BunnyRegis and the submission I had entered a minute ago suddenly had 4 downvotes. I rest my case. ILLBREAKYOUDEAD edited this message on 05/11/2010 3:52PM |

I don’t mean to doublepost, but I needed to bump the thread somehow. Judging by the tubmail I recieved threatening me with bodily harm IRL and the downvotes for a submission I had entered a few minutes ago, I can only bumume that someone not connected with Crotch Zombie is going out of their way to sabotage forumbuildr 2.0 Beta. |

You’re not alone in this. Almost everyone got downvoted into oblivion. I also received some threatening tubmails, but fortunately the profile names got immediately banned without any need of reporting it.
Feels bad to see everything going to waste, most of us spend hours long for the Polite Society and the LHC Maintenance Wiki forum. |

First – entries being voted to -5 doesn’t mean they don’t exist, it means they were downvoted. They can not be resubmitted exactly because that causes a dupe entry.
Second – the entries getting downvoted doesn’t have anything to do with the disappearing build. That was a bug of some sort that ET needs to look into and hasn’t had a chance. Somehow, the build failed when going through the automatic process.
As for the downvoting, we’re trying to figure out what we can do. Hopefully we’ll see an end to it soon Log in to see images! |

I just noticed that, indeed, someone is mbum-downvoting every Forumbuildr entry. However, this same entity is mbumively upvoting that “Chicken Pox Party” forum. It was the only one left alone when all forums were nuked the first time, and it’s the only one left now. It’s also received an additional 10 upvotes in the time that all the others received 10 or more downvotes. |

This is the current itembuildr item: http://www.forumwarz.com/item_buildr/vote_for_images
Just in case it’s related |

I’m guessing Blackenstein has something to do with the Chicken Pox forum voting and mbumive downvoting, too.
I think one easy change to make is to block accounts from voting on Buildr until they’re a certain level. As it is, a string of easily-created brand new accounts can crush everything in no time. |

Yeah, I’d bet this is an illegal alt barrage against Item and ForumBuildr. There’s only one forum left above -5 from the looks of it, and nothing left for items.
Incidentally, I support Bashy’s idea. Though I hate to say that with how much I want him to stop entering ForumBuildr for a while.
Also, if Blackenstein’s Item entry won fairly, I sadly have to say it probably has the right to stay up. If it was upvoted by illegal alts, kill it, KILL IT NOW. NeoVid edited this message on 05/11/2010 5:34PM |

With nothing to vote on, and nothing with any vote scores, I propose that JB again push that enticing bumon posthaste. |

Give us a minute… there’s an attempt to make “magic” right now Log in to see images!
Edit: magic performed… illegal alt votes have been backed out and a lot of submissions are back among the living. Log in to see images! spacekadt edited this message on 05/11/2010 6:40PM |

There are two instances of “University of Useless Degrees.” One of them should probably get nuked.
EDIT: One is a little different (categories), but mostly they’re the same. Bashy edited this message on 05/11/2010 6:52PM |

Ah, did not about the dupe entry feature. Good to know, and handy to prevent spamming at that. |

Illegal alt barrage indeed- I took one look in my tubmail and it was bombarded by unconvincing threats that all came from newly created characters that made no attempt to conceal the fact that they were illegal alts for the person responsible for downvoting everything. From what I could tell, whoever’s responsible is extraordinarily ****ed off at the buildr systems or is incredibly stupid.
Here is the complete list of failed mailbombers:
BunnyRegis dddddd940394049-49012390-2930103920-3920-13-01 34343432344323424 ILLBRAKEYUODAEDHURRRRR (Nice job insulting my choice of username.) ndndnndanadnda OK-NICCO-SINCE-UR-A-GOOD-GUY-IM-LEAVING-FOR-GOOD-K (Now why do I doubt that?)
It’s things like this that force moderators to start IP banning people.
Edit: Whoops, I didn’t notice that BLACKENSTEIN had been confirmed as the person responsible for this. Still, I’m going to list his multiple illegal alts up here, if only to show how little effort he put into disguising them. ILLBREAKYOUDEAD edited this message on 05/11/2010 9:38PM |
