Topic: Admin/Mods: Please ban "jvanname" - page 3. (Read 1298 times)

I see. It is just that one of the stereotypes or ideas many foreigners around the planet have about the United States is that people many times cannot afford to get healthcare of any kind. I have personally talked to a friend of mine from Oklahoma who once suffered a mental breakdown and was isolated in a "crisis center" with other people and he was kind of forced to interact with others until he was deemed to be stable enough to be released. Basically, he was planning to take his own life.
I have also read medicine and drugs in your country cannot be afforded by many people and the cost of them are out of proportion in comparison to other countries which are supposed to be as well within the first world category. So I assumed that perhaps our friend Dr Joseph was someone who is not able to afford some psychological evaluations and drugs, so comes here to cope with whatever he must be feeling. If that is the case, I pity him rather to feel anger and annoyance because of his behavior here in the forum.

Anyways, we may be getting a lil bit out of the topic of this thread. I am personally glad you have managed to improve your health through those long years, mental health is not supposed ignored, being healthy in that sense is priceless.

Now wait I minute. When I got sick in 1982 I had more than 20 years of treatment which amazingly worked. Took antipsychotic meds from 1982 to 2006. Went to various shrinks and psychologists for 40
years. My last psychologist retired in 2022. I went to her for 29 years.

I say this cause I am USA based. You can get the care if you want to. But from the sick people I have seen at least 60% just try to gaslight everyone and live on the river ( denial is the river).

BTW I figure 20% of the USA people need real help so they can get off that barge floating on that river.

But only 2 or 3 % actually try like I did.

As a rule, the following sequence of temporary bans is applied: first ban - 7 days, second ban - 14 days, third ban - 30 days, followed by a permanent ban. However, it should be understood that global moderators or administrators may not follow this rule. They can act at their own discretion.

I'm not sure if he is who he claims to be, likely not IMO. The guy seems to need some serious professional help though. I also think a guy who supposedly has a PhD would take the time to read the forum and learn how the place works. Maybe learn how to use the trust system if he is going to partake in using it. Banning him is useless IMO as it's just as easy to ignore him.

I won't debate the moderators' decisions, though. I trust they have done the right call, in this occasion.
He probably will come back again and continue to misbehave as usual, whichs makes me wonder who many temporary bans will get issued against him before he is permanently kicked out.
For some reason, I have the hunch he is the kind of person who would not care to engage in ban evasion and multiple times and uncover himself eventually by his obvious speech and behavior. The fact signs all his posts is a clue he has not come here to keep a low profile whatsoever and will certainly not start if he tries to evade a ban.



I believe it would also depend on the use and the intent someone has with using the such name. For example, someone here would register as Michael Jackson for their username,  someone who we all know is dead, that itself would not be malicious, it could be just be a huge fan of his music.
On the other hand, if that person claimed to be the real MJ, then one would need to wonder whether it could be classified as a parody or actual identity theft, since no reasonable people could get scammed or gotten advantage of from such a stupid scheme.

When comes to people who is alive and they would be trying to pose as them, then it would be different.

The moderators and administrators of the forum will not be in the business of finding out who owns the account. You understand that. Therefore, in order for global moderators or administrators to take any action, you need solid evidence from a third party that the user is using someone else's name.

According to the staff (here and here) the "jvanname" account had already received a temporary ban and the reason given was threatening behaviour.

If moderators believe his conduct was sufficient enough to deserve a ban than I would not debate that point of view. He does not seem to be of the character that will go away if he is ignored, it seems he is going out of his way to be as obnoxious as possible and I think one of the motivations is because he is not the person he claims to be and is deliberately misusing the name for reasons not yet known.

If impersonating a person is not sufficient reason for a ban then his threatening conduct will hopefully get him banned again.

I have personally intarected with this user and must agree his ideas and ways of thinking are pretty much irrational, though I am not sure yet whether we are dealing with an over-exaggeraged troll or a very mentally sick individual, he is probably the former but I cannot really tell.
He has his own thread in the Reputation section where he alledges I attack him because I am evil and a Nazi (or something among those lines).

Either way, I do not believe someone is supposed to be banned from this forum based only on the things they write, it would take us to be sure he is actually trolling or he personally threating with physical violence against a forum member for the Administration to have a valid reason to issue a permanent ban, in my opinion. In the mean time, I guess it will be enough for him to stop posting here as often as usual if enough people ignore him.

In the case we are dealing with a mentally ill person, it baffles me he is yet to be given the mental attention he needs, perhaps it would have something to do with the fact he seems to be from the USA?

I like it, we are on a first name basis now! 🤣

I have noticed ever since this lunatic threatened my "supporters" I haven't got any of my questions answered, not to mention that people stopped meriting me. I guess I'll have to suck it up. At least it's better than having the next vaccine in the butt. You never know, he could be locked up in a secret lab underground cooking the next pandemic whatnot. Once I visited an exchange listing his dead coin, I wanted to check it out, then I realized there are massive sell orders starting from 1 sat per unit, and there was not a single trade history ever. You have to understand, working so hard to build a blockchain just to realize it's a worthless piece of garbage, it can break anyone.

He seriously needs medical help, the mandatory kind of help but nobody cares to report him to the authorities. Psycho ward is a good place for him to start. 

I was not aware he had been banned in the past but at least a precedent has been set as far his account in concerned. I will report him if I see him behaving using threatening language or in any manner which could be deemed as counter-productive to the forum. After that, it will be a matter for admin or moderators to make a decision as to whether he should be banned again.

Life is all about making comebacks diggy. You only lose when you stop playing. That said;

“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

No, jvanname's account is not currently banned. His temporary ban has long since expired and, as far as I know, this account has not received any more bans. At least, not yet. That's why I ask, if anyone notices his posts with specific calls for violence, to report it.

I had no idea the account was ever banned for any reason. As stated earlier, he has been excessively provocative and has posted profanities on many occasions as well as pretending to be someone he is not and is impersonating someone without their consent. Can you please clarify, is the "jvanname" account currently banned?

That's why he got a temporary ban for those remarks. If you still come across such statements in the same spirit from this user, you can send reports. At least in the sections where I am a moderator.

I don't think that this forum member either a fake identity or not shouldn't be banned unless that forum member violated a forum rules that the consequences are getting banned then that forum member should get banned but if did not break any at all but his/her actions are suspicious or seems fishy then I'd say that this person should get negative trust. A negative trust or negative feedback should be the first thing to do until that person proves who he is.

Exactly, anyone who knows what crazy is would see it in this "doctor." I feel bad for him. I believe the problem isn't only him; it's also those who keep arguing with him in an attempt to win an argument, which isn't even remotely possible. The more you argue with him, the more aggressive he gets. People need to understand that he is "sick," and sick people need help. You don't help him by cursing him, not by banning him either perhaps. The best help we could offer said doctor IMHO would be to ignore him.

He is quite clearly a troubled individual not only for the fact that he has conducted himself at extremely disappointing levels for trolling and inflaming but also because he using (or misusing) the name of someone without their consent or permission. He has been doing it for quote some time. At some point it seemed light entertainment but gradually his instability became obvious.

Okay, but I don't think people like him will get frustrated if their Alt accounts get banned or message gets deleted. If anything, it will seem like fun for him as it will look like another way to annoy the higher powers. For me, I feel he's becoming important by the number of responses he's getting. I feel that putting him on ignore will save one the trouble of always getting to see the nuisance he constitutes.

A very nice record. Besides, I will like this record more than a flawless one. 90% positive and 10% negative should show that the carrier is a realist and not an online ass hole manipulating the system to his favour.


While buying online, be it stores or exchanges, I do not trade with someone with 100% reputation record. From 88% to 95% is ok for me. I consider them the uninfluenced true representation of reputation.

No one has suggested that he should be banned because of a different opinion or the way he expresses it. But even free speech got limits. We can argue issues without getting all kinds of nasty and violent about it. The admins and mods are the ones who gotta decide where to draw the line when someone goes too far. And it seems this particular fella has crossed it before since they already banned him once and  can't say I blame them for bringing down the hammer again, maybe for good this time.

Here are a few specific examples:





I'm open to hearing why you think letting that kind of toxic stuff slide is good for this community. But seems to me this community is better off without it.
