I will make this suggestion...  Our wonderful hosts have no time to deal with absolute necessary evils.  I am sorry if anyone disagrees with that fact.  (Everyone has earholes.)  My new suggestion is to move this forum over to Facebook.  Our hosts already have a wonderful page that is posted to quite regularly.  This would allow FB to be the arbitrator in multiple accounts from the same person.  FB has a feature to unfriend, unfollow or even block wonderful people.  A few downsides too.  My father hated FaceBALLS which I can imagine there are a few more.  We won't be able to use awesome screen names anymore.  It opens this forum up to more trolls which may make it harder to control.  I may have a solution to that, handled with our hosts privately of coarse.

Now about what I suggested a couple of times.  Please, just ignore.  Unless these people give dangerous advice, it is easy to do.  <say I know>  I have seen the back and forth my late Father had with certain peeps.  It sickened me! 

Either way our gracious host continues on.  I appreciate everyone for their kind words and their support.  Another one of his famous quotes, "I still don't know what I am going to be when I grow up."  
(I guess I can't even follow my own advice either.)

Jemal. Blaming us is not the answer. I for one implore you to do something about this. If it means involving the Racines, please do.

OK, another little vacation for all!  I know some of you may suffer withdrawals!!  I'll make it Dan's job to tell me when the mole pops up!  You people may not believe it, but I'm usually too busy helping people sort out their Mini to deal with this little hobby that some of you have!

It seems that if something is free of charge, some people simply can't find any value in it.  It does make it challenging to provide useful relevant info when some people make it their purpose in life to be disruptive.

Why don't you point your gripes at Alex?  He seems to have all the answers, and likes telling people what to do!  Also, I don't know any other Brit that uses the word "dude" with so much eloquence!  What IS the whole story Alex?  Hundreds and hundreds of posts on threads of nonsense!  A long time ago (years actually!) I said this whole Robster fiasco has the feel of a college psychology study of how people react in anonymous settings. Read all about it in an upcoming issue of Psychology Today!!  And if you want to talk about IP addresses, you will have to chase down the webmaster....

poor poor jemal getting drugged back into all of this and now he has to tell the world his excuses so he doesnt have to ban his best friend. I think that this other person that is not me is bad for this sites people and members because he makes them so angry that he makes them switch to other websites that are better. But jemal likes having him here because he can watch it and think it is funny and then mini mania gets more views on websites like google and other places because of people replying to comments.





if you ask me jemal should just ban all of the not real people on here. people that cant post a picture of their faces or not bald heads next to their minis. But that would mean he has to ban his little brownie queen.

Jemal,

I do not 'encourage' him. In fact, I generally post in response to his garbage to counteract it. I usually start with "Wrong Again" and take time to explain to readers why he is so patently wrong. 

He gets responses, not just from me, because he is so often "wrong again". I have not seen any responses that are intended to encourage him - only to counteract his nonsense. "Just about ANYTHING else" (to use your phrase) is pretty much devoid of such drivel.

Remember the kid's game "Whack-a-Mole"? I suggest you try that with his reappearances. Every time he pops up, just knock him back down his hole by locking his login. I know this isn't your only work, but how much time does it take you to lock a login? (I'm guessing less time than it takes to respond to this thread.)

I have repeatedly done what I can, only to have him return and be encouraged by you and others that seem to want to make a project out of him!  The only time I EVER look at ANYTHING he says is when one of you gripes enough and sends me a link or something.  If there was a way I could block anyone from answering (encouraging) him, I would, and you'd see how right I am about this!

You seem like a smart guy Dan.... what's your explanation about why his posts get more responses and comments than just about ANYTHING else on here?  If there is any SEO value, it is thanks to you and others that keep encouraging him!

Let us not forget that Mini4Ever is a double Troll.

Someone has posted on the Binky thread without logging out of the spoof account before attempting to post with their usual screen name.

Jemal, as the default moderator, will have access to the IP addresses of all of us and therefore knows damn well who it is.

Dude, stop wiping your arse with your own underpants by allowing this lunacy to carry on.  Yes, you may be defending the action of the troll by hiding behind traffic figures and posts generated, but they don't tell the whole story, now do they...

Jemal,
You are missing a big point. Not about the definition of "farce" and its comparison to life, but the fact that certain characters (mostly one) continues to posts erroneous and often dangerous misinformation that, if not corrected, could lead someone to damage their Mini or cause serious harm to themselves. THAT would reflect badly on your company. The problem is that this particular source of "stupidity" won't stop, won't "die". You (Minimania) have banned others for less and for being less offensive and abusive. Too many good and reliable sources of expert and knowledgeable advice and experience have simply... left - in frustration and disgust.

Would you put up with someone repeatedly crapping on the doorstep of your store? For many, this discussion group is the "front door" to your business. It draws them to your website, and frequently, we the users point people to products you sell as solutions to their problems.

Ah, but isn't that just life?  Apparently you all enjoy it , judging by the the number of posts and responses to idiotic comments.  You simply don't have the self control to ignore stupidity and let it die, lonely and  irrelevant....

But Larry, apparently pictures of male parts are supposed to be informative and humorous...
I guess you and I must have missed the memo as we just don't understnad how...

If you feed it, it will eat it up. I took a 6 month break, did no more good than the 6 year break I took. It takes two and I don't want to be one of them. Steve (CTR)

Ah. I assumed you were going to post something about American politics.

apparently not.

I wonder if the powers that be appreciate their message board is turning into one.
