I do find it funny that rather than address the issues they would rather just ban people who bring it up.
There are 2 quite simple things you could do that would solve 99% of spam (and in reality it would be 100% as the other 1% would be such a pain in the a..e to get around, no spammer would bother).
I think being banned for messing up forums just to prove a point is a fairly mild punishment really, compared to having the US trying to extradite and execute you when you graduate to helpfully finding holes in their national security systems... that'll be interesting to watch.
2 running sites under the same owner, one gets wind of what they see as malicious behaviour tipping off their partner site.
What's not to understand about RW's action here?
I would go even further and report him to his ISP .... quite simply you just don't write spam scripts for whatever made up reason .. there be the realm of total wankerism!
Will we start a book on how long it will take DF3 or whatever he's calling himself to come back? Soooo many people flounce off saying they'll never return' but sadly they do. Be nice if the cockwombles actually kept such promises!
I think he lost at the point he started with my dad is bigger than your dad, my job is better than yours, I earn more money than you, I can run faster than you, whoops sorry got the last one wrong
That chap has a recognised and severe mental illness. The fact the yanks want their hands on him is massively worrying and morally abhorrent.
Yes, agreed. But I'm not sure just being an annoying little twat would render DF3 safe from them. Perhaps he could stick to burgling peoples houses and crapping all over the living room so as to encourage them to fit better locks, or standing on any loose shoelaces he spots going round town.
Of course we cant send Abu Hansa to a country that has the death penalty and uses torture but.........
Think you'll find he's Abu Qatada, and please, lets use the corporal punishment vs torture in an Arab state argument. Because the people who want our (mentally and socially challenged) citizen would never resort to corporal punishment or torture to get the result they want.
It was quite interesting that the chap mopped up all manner of abuse from forumites about all areas of his existence, without even a bead of worry, but people not respecting his IT skills caused an absolute furious meltdown.
SuperCaz - whilst I'd never claim to be a computer whizz, I'm an engineering graduate and have been a professional web developer for 14 years
What David did yesterday amounted to little more than pressing "submit" lots of times with some random post content. I don't consider it to be a security breach, but I have blocked his IP address on Fetch, and asked RW to do the same.
I can't speak for RW, but I'm always happy to receive legitimate suggestions for improvements to Fetcheveryone, and I'm first to laugh when people tell me it's clunky or in need of improvement. However, I don't believe that attempting misuse on this scale is appropriate for any user.
The problem is these days most users at home are on DHCP from their ISP. So banning an ip doesn't really work in these cases where if you turn your adsl router off for say 5 minutes maybe 10 in an extreme case, then on again when you reconnect you will have a different IP Address.
if he has a static address then hey presto. But then he'd just need to go through a proxy server, so generally I didn't think blocking an IP Address these days achieves much, at most it's a inconvenience for someone who's determind.
Not complaining or going yipee. I'm just making a comment.

I don't know, this is getting to a level of Internet geekism that just makes me imagine unhealthy, unattractive middle aged men... Like a bit smelly? Happy to be proved wrong.
Df got his script booted and his ids disabled within about 2 minutes of his silliness. Really, what is it with this guy. It's becoming quite malicious and over the top. Hopefully he'll get banned for life as he is becoming more than just an Internet knob jockey and is attacking the Rodale sites.

Bizarre view Seren.

He was briefly entertaining, but won't miss the obnoxious moron.
Of course he deserved to be banned.

agreed Mad4Morris..i'm sure that chap who hacked major US systems said he was trying to show them flaws in their set up too

The ripples on the pond will disappear at last, no matter the size of the brick.

so youre a geek with too much time on your hands who knows how to spam a web site - pat on the back ....who gives a fuck
Oh wow. That was a major tantrum by dave bandme/df3! 'I work at the big names. I earn loads of money'. Brilliant.

Nooooo...not ever.
on the same ruling we should never send anyone back to America as they seem to think that torture is alright as well........
Apparently my username is a byword for running excellence. I think I might retire.

Phil, he liked you from the off
Yes - you were always his favourite uncle, Phil (and not in a 1970s way)

Well done Booktrunk - you addressed the balance
what an exaggeration.
Geek n proud. More into babysitting servers n routers then writing webpages.
I don't think he cared much for me .
