I just wanted to take a moment to inform those who choose to list their Yahoo messenger addy in their profile that you might receive some strange sounding messages from a banned member who doesn't speak English very well. He's been banned here over 20 times, but I have noticed that he's been checking out the members who have their Yahoo listed and is sending them messages via Yahoo. This includes new members who have no idea who he is.

So if you get some weird message that says you will be banned, ignore it. This person has no idea what he is talking about.

Do you know if he'd try to contact people from any other message service?

I haven't noticed him contacting members who have any of the other ones listed. But they might not show up like the Yahoo does.

Oh and the messages mostlikely will come from someone named blitzfive.

What do you mean by "How was this banned user?"? He keeps on resigning up with new user names here and he's been banned now 30 times. We can't ban his IP address because it changes every time he gets online. But he sometimes acts like a guest without signing up only to search members who have their yahoo addy listed and then messages them. He use to send members private messages... weird messages. You can read more about it in this thread ----> Attention! Please read.

Is there any indication that he's puppeteering several Yahoo accounts as well?

This is ridiculous!

Is that the only screen name you know he goes by??

I've heard a couple that he goes by but I don't remember.
