Are we sure that this is a person doing this by hand and not a computer program? Because if it is, then an email wouldn't do too much, right?
vBulletin uses the CAPTCHA system for registering and at least that must be done by hand. The posting itself and/or the private messaging might be done using some sort of software yes.
Nothing quite like it indeed. I speak nothing but the truth.
So said the liar.
:slant:
At any rate, just set him to "spam" if he keeps emailing you... He's using an automated program to do it, so he won't know the difference if you're not getting his mail in your inbox any longer.
This really shouldn't be here. If he's really just spamming and not trying to sell the cards then this is exactly what he wants. You're playing right into his hands. He wants attention and you're handing it to him.
EDIT: I was referring to the dannyncheung guy, but the statement works for DotP somewhat also.

I have no extendo-sig. Sorry, I'm just not vain enough to think someone will click on it.

I don't care if he gets what he wants. What I want is to be able to ban him quickly and to make sure nobody gets scammed. Thus this announcement.

Good for the announcement, except this isn't one. Announcements automagically appear at the top of each forum and - here's the bit I really like - don't let our local pundits comment on them. What you want may be an announcement, but what you're doing is giving the bastard attention. If you want to make an announcement, do so, by all means. But this? This is forum drama.
EDIT: And if you really want to keep a list of his many guises, do so in the moderator forums and update the announcement.

on the WOTC forum ip banning is mentioned quite often...is this an actual possibility or is it just a bunch of people spouting their lack of knowledge...

if you are ever being chased by a police dog, try not to run through a tunnel, then over a little see-saw, then jump through a ring of fire. theyre trained for that

The problem here is that it's quite easy to spoof or simply charge your IP address.

Well, seems like spoiler chains(And with them my old sig) have been broken by The Man.
The Man is a Jackass and apparently he is also a Communist.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD YOU MODS! MY SIG IS NOT FOR EDITING!:mad:

This isn't a joke. This guy has been perpetrating scams, and scamming MTG collectors for YEARS. At various times since 2003, I have received e-mails from him claiming to be a little girl selling her brother's card collection while he was at school, or asking to sell 5000 dual lands for $1000. We have discussed him numerous times on the MTG library rarities forum.
No matter who he claims to be, the phone # is always the same.
I have made a formal complaint with the US FTC for his abuse and attempted fraud, but because he never took any money from me, there really isn't much more that I can do besides spread the word about him.
And I have called the number. Once, his mom answered, and I don't think she speaks any English. She went and got him, and I screamed at him for a while and then hung up. He hasn't spammed me personally since, but he is still posting all over the place.
He wouldn't be doing it unless someone fell for it every once in a while.
If someone really has his home address, and legal representation, everything possible should be done to nail this guy.
i really hope that people wouldnt fall for such an obvious one as this...but there are some people out there
