Nicole is on my Forum Help!
- Thread starter Naiwen
- Start date
If she registers once and participates -- nothing, let her do her thing. If she starts registering multiple accounts and re-introducing herself over and over again, either merge all of her accounts together or start to ban her. It's a nuisance, but it's about the only way to get the message across.
I'm confused, who is Nicole? If she continues to spam your forum and make multiple accounts, you should be able to IP ban her.
Nicole (or Nycole) is a well-known pest, she goes to a forum, acts like any member and then registers another account to do the same thing, and then another, and then another, and then another. She won't go back to the old accounts, she just makes new ones, over and over and over again.
Ah okay, I've never dealt with her so that's why I got confused. Well that's quite annoying, I wonder why she does that...
She claims it's a product of her OCD and Autism, but having friends who are autistic and being OCD myself...it just doesn't really fit the bill. I think she's just a troll who pushes as far as she can. I hope you don't have to deal with her on your forums, she is the definition of a pest!
I just set my Proboard to manual member approval and I check her IP address's. So far there are like 20 or more accounts created by her but I just don't approve them.
Yep a very safe strategy!
The forum games one.
You're on your own.

So basically she is playing out what the movie 50 First Dates would look like if it took place on a forum?
For those not familiar with this comedy movie, it is basically about a girl who wakes up each day without any memory of the previous day's events as she has a disorder that causes her to not retain any memories of the previous day.
Just 5 currently.
Have you ever thought to just do one but put each of the things from your forums into categories so one category for history, one for food, one for forum games & one for off-topic? Would be a whole lot easier advertising and then you can work on making one forum better? Such as adding a nice theme nice logo etc.
Exactly; also, ask for help in picking out different themes/skins for your forum. You'd be surprised how many will come to help when politely asked.
