First, we called her "Sammie." Now her screen name is ... well, you know what it is. "She," or anyone else that could have been broken into her account since she stupidly posted her account info to allow access, has been using her sig to rant. At one point, a non-kid friendly photo was posted as her avatar by her or someone else. First, "she" blamed it on mods or admins. Now, we see this in her sig:

Misfit thanx for posting porn with my account, keep doing it sweetie, i am sure once the Admin know that my account is corrupted, they will delete the account. but keep posting porn pics, thanx Misfit. you're a star, not a very bright one,


So, who did it?
Furthermore, I say let the admins figure it out. I am sure it is easy for them to track the ISPs that have accessed her account. In the meantime, stop the stuff with the sigs. Send your complaints to the mods or admins and stop throwing doubt on people in here. Otherwise, who will be next?

There's only been one person who constantly likes to use the term "porn pics" about me. I wonder... but hey, BLAME MISFIT! Now everybody stop what you are doing and look at me now.

There's only been one person who constantly likes to use the term "porn pics" about me. I wonder... but hey, BLAME MISFIT! Now everybody stop what you are doing and look at me now.

For what it's worth, I was banned from a forum, unjustly I thought, and used all the other methods I could think of to communicate with the form; I changed the signature, the details in my profile, posted avatars with messages on them, and changed the graphics in existing posts with replacement graphics that were linked from my own site. The mods was unable to do anything about, at first. To get rid of the signatures they had to delete every post containing that signature "I've been unjustly banned, etc", including all posts that had copied it in. They managed to freeze the account so I couldn't change the avatar or profile, but they remained as they were left at that point ("Censored!").

It would seem that the software that comes with these forums limits the capabilities of the mods somewhat. Otherwise, wouldn't it be sensible to 'freeze' the account and stop an aggrieved getting carried away, or to stop blame being pointed where it shouldn't be?

It does seem rather odd, doesn't it. I am surprised this hasn't received the kind of moderating attention that the BOTD fiasco did.

That's because the BOTD was creepy, not vulgar.
