Unsure. Kier is currently beta-testing VBB3 at the moment as well.

There was a troll. She callled herself Shakkara. She got banned. She made some twenty or so new accounts within a short amount of time from different IP addresses. Registration was locked.

Shakarra can still post by the way, using one of her accounts.

So it'll be a couple more days at least, if that's the only reason that it was locked I don't know why it needs to be locked for this long, it has been locked for more than a few weeks has it not?

Shakkara's not a troll per se, but it's that she states an opinion and someone argues against it. Then the ball drops and she keeps on defending her argument, stubbornly, with no end in sight. That's her main problem---her unwillingness to just drop it and back off.

She's basically Darkstar Lite.

She's actually a very nice individual, but she's just utterly convinced that what she believes in is right and she thinks she must get everyone else to believe it, too. Oh well. It's sort of like the missionary attitude of Dutch Calvinism with the religious part replaced by a quasi Populist Anti-American fanaticism.

They're damn limp wristed about serious bans. Only five people have permanent bans.

And they have yet to trim those 1000+ users who have ZERO posts and have been registered for YEARS.

They can be quite profligate with temporary, frivolous bans, though. HBMC has banned people for saying BYE at the end of their posts, I think Cool Guy has banned people for bashing California and Macs.

The mods and their affect on the quality of discussion there are a big reason I post there so little.

It's also a big reason I don't even go there.

Seriously, guys, SpaceBattles sounds like it seriously needs a facelift in organization and moderatorship. You guys are fucking amatures.

Frankly, I think she's worse. Misinterpreting Star Trek and Star Wars, fictional universes of which there are hundreds of hours of information, is substantially easier than misinterpreting real life, of which one has at least a dozen years of info.
