Is Fire11 a Troll?

[Yieu]

Fire11 has returned yet again, now under the username 'Bear-Bear'.

Our forum has been under attack by Fire11 for a few months now. He creates dozens of new usernames on this forum (which all get banned) and floods the boards with threads filled with false and misleading information, including statistics and numbers he makes up, and appears to be quite bigoted because he would like to see 1-2 billion people die 'so that animals can eat,' and he appears to have a racial bias against those in the Indian subcontinent.

Simple question, so that he can see whether or not the members of this forum want him here, so that we can give him constructive feedback:

Is Fire11 a troll?

 

[Vessol]

he has taught me many important things: such as that we speak slang english, that we must be wary of porn stars in line, and that india must ban all non food growing

It is possible he might be worse than just an ordinary troll. Due to the fact that he posts violent, bigoted, and misleading information, he could be controlled opposition / agent provocateur. He could be gathering information to use later to harm the movement or Dr. Paul's campaign.

I dont believe in trolls.

Poll: is Yieu feeding the troll?

I normally try to stay out of trolls' business, and I dislike calling individuals out. But if we do not give him this feedback, he might mistakenly think we want him here. He even said in another thread:

I start excellent discussion threads and people reply to me with excellent answers and posts. I am helping world good people for free (no money).

He believes he is doing us a service by returning with new username after new username after we ban him over and over. And he thinks we should be grateful that he isn't charging us for doing so. So perhaps he might voluntarily go away if he learns that he is not wanted here.

I even made the poll public (I normally prefer non-public polls), so that he can see all the usernames of well-established forum members that do not want him here.

bwaaaaaaha ha

I dont believe in trolls.

but they believe in YOU -- and they know where you live, on the internets, at least

He is special. That's what people say about him. And he will be president if only people will listen to him. I don't think a troll could be president. Isn't that in the Constitution? So he must not be a troll.

Looks like all his accounts are banned.

IP ban could be put into place, but it really does more harm imo.

just do some silly htaccess redirects for him them

I am sure he wants to read wnd.com and onenewsnow every time he comes to RPF/LF
if that doesn't help send him to 4chan, they like his type.

Thanks. In the end this is your private property and you and Bryan have the last word, and that's what matters. I just wish he would get the picture and stop creating new accounts.

htaccess redirects would be funny. If you need htaccess tricks, PM me, I have a good source for them.

What if I think he's a troll and don't care? I don't think anyone should be banned unless they're spamming or doing something illegal.

Controlled opposition / agents provocateur try to be the most well liked people and become the embodiment of the goals of the group. Then they seek out those in the group with minor disagreements and try to magnify those disagreements and splinter them off. They do this repeatedly until there are to few members left in the original group that it can't be effective. Either that or they encourage people to do something illegal. But what they don't do is make blatantly controversial comments.

He is spamming. Creating new account after new account after each account gets banned, and flooding the forum with misleading and bigoted threads with fraudulent information is a form of spamming.

 

[KurtBoyer25L]

I can't even believe he turned out to be a real person. I thought it was some kind of autobot.

This. I remember reading awhile back his posts about killing off a couple billion folks, like the ones who like porn. His "thinking" was so disjointed I thought it was either a random computer generating sentences or a total schizophrenic.

I haven't been around much to see a lot of his stuff, but with what I'm reading here, wouldn't he be more along the lines of a decepticon?

I really wish people would read and consider before posting responses.
It puzzles me when I see pages of intelligent (or attempts at such) responses to really inane bullshit.

Just don't respond, , or if you absolutely have to, go for humorous or derogatory responses.
Make it entertaining at least.
he's doing it for lulz, so laugh at him.

I tend to only enter his threads to point out it is a Fire11 thread to those responding and then report the threads to let the mods handle it (though there are sometimes some funny comments by those who also realize it is Fire11).

I only went as far as creating this thread this time because it almost looked like he might be allowed to stay longer, so I wanted to urge him to leave voluntarily by assuring him he was not wanted here. He drags the forum down and floods it with tons of irrelevant threads, causing a disruption... and tries to gather data on the members here that could be used to defame us.

He's banned again now, but if he comes back I might bump this thread.

Yieu man you really get fired up over this one character ---- he's just a nutter who posts semi-coherent blather. Wouldn't get too worked up about him!
