Some recent threads has been posted by some questionable character in the boards. I understand some guys have to reply it to speak their mind but it did nothing except bumping the thread to the top of that board. certain threads was at the top of some boards for hours! here's a suggestion. If you got something to say about a questionable/strange/etc person who post, why not start a post of your own and provide the URL of the post/person you are refering to. any one who want to add some thing could just do it at your post instead of keep bumping the post of that person who may not mind all this publicity. thanks

I guess you're talking about the infamous jovanjohnson. Well, you can't help it. It's human nature to post immediately into the offending thread, bumping it along the way.

A request from the admin should be enough to stop the posting. For example, jstkdn asked everyone to stop replying jovanjohnson's threads - and it worked, until DaRu bumped it up a week later.

For doing that, jstkdn has punished her already. ;)

By the way, I'm also one of the people who reply in his thread, so I'm guilty of the crime, too.

The reason why I post in those threads, are to make sure that the warnings keep going out to unsuspecting newbies. Though said individual hasn't changed his ways, the result has been that unsuspecting newbies have not fallen in to the trap. Also, as so many women got horassed in here, it is good that they are told what is going on. The guys, have been quite fortunate in this affair. But some of ladies, were tearing our hairs out.

Nothing stops us however, that if we do send out warnings in those threads, to immediately start bumping up other peoples threads. To make sure, that the spotlight goes there where it belongs.
I encourage people to do the same.

I respond to his threads as well. I will keep doing so. He pisses me off. I am a male. I am only 38, but I am old fashioned. Where I come from, you don't treat woman the way he has. If I was out somewhere and saw a guy harrassing a woman, or anybody for that matter, I would step in and tell him nicely to move along. If he would continue to do it, I would be a little more persuasive in making sure he saw the errors of his ways. Come to think of it, the last thread by the guy that I responded to seems to have disappeared. At least I can't find it anywhere. Somethings just aren't right. And turning your back to them or ignoring them won't make them go away or make the world a better place. Like Barney Fife says, " ya gotta nip it in the bud!"

Maybe it would be better to start a new thread warning about the old one? That way you get the warning and the old thread dies.

In my defense Sir.Kittithaj, I had didn't know anything about this individual whatsoever, since I only sign on to check the messages at the gumshoe lounge and rarely check the messages here. By not playing daily and knowing what's really going on I was trying to be nice by saying welcome. However, if I had of been warned before, I certaintly wouldn't have welcomed this pervert here. Yes, jstkdn and a few others sent me messages to warn me, and I really appriecated it. I should have waited to find out the facts, before I posted in haste, which I deeply regret now. Anyway, I've posted my support for Ben's banning him from here. That's what I love about Sleuth, over a year or so in playing here, is the clean fun. I'm certainly not for perverted garbage being allowed ever. With that said, I apologize to you and all I upset.

DaRu, we all knew you meant no harm, and were just being friendly. Actually, the thread Delvin was refering to was not the one you bumped at all. :)

Usually it is safe to be friendly here in Sleuth! We all know that. :) Don't stress about it. We all love you; you're a legend in town! :)

Hey girl, (cfm), how are you sweetie? Actually, I was trying to add to my message, but I clicked off of it, then came back to find yours..lol. I was afraid it would sound like I was upset, but I wasn't. I just wanted to put everyone's minds to rest. Oh yes, thanks for your kindness. I love my sleuth family and SLEUTH...yeah!

No, no, no. Don't fret. I wasn't accusing you at all, DaRu.

At first, it looked strange that a woman would replied nicely to such a man. But I came to my conclusion immediately that you fortunately had never been harrassed by him. That's why you thought he was a nice guy; we always thought that once.

It's not wrong for you not knowing he was a nasty person (it's a nice thing to assume someone would be a nice person, after all.) Not knowing, not guilty.

And besides, you've got enough punishment, jstkdn shook you after that. ;)
