Insulting new members in their intro threads

I asked him normally, I didnt use any insult and I welcomed him to the forum, I see no reason why I got banned but w/e

Most have been socks though lol. It’s getting repetitive.

I can attest that I did not have a problem with your posts; just with the tone and insinuations of hektor12 and the lawspeaker*, if I correctly recall.

*I should add komintasavalta

I was accused of sockery upon my arrival here, so I know the feeling.

I take the wait and see approach, to these new accounts.

Its not like im targeting new members for no reason. Theres a mentally ill person who was revealed by Komintasavalta; making new accounts daily and trying to troll people with fake personalities. Im sure that this new member is the same person (banned Nunavut, still free Imeruat and others...) because its the same 50 iq braindead english language which is clearly fake, and interestingly becomes a much more casul language after a few posts, hes targeting my friend Immanenz, for some reason which has roots in another place as Komintasavalta explained, he uses Immanenz's profile (Austrian, male, prof sign, etc...) and i was %100 sure because Nunavut mentioned to Immanenz in one of his last posts.

Interesting, I have an Italian friend called Enzo Immane, or Immane Enzo.

And this person, who is male and Austrian, not able to speak German but uses Latin in his posts, which is not suprising for someone with "Italian" language skills...

Italian language skills?

Ho un amico originario di un paesino vicino a Udine che dice sempre mandi frus.

Gli italiani sono i migliori!

And forum admin protects sock-troll against 3 normal users and even punishes them for their "very light" questioning. This is the part which disappointed me. I dont know this place but forum moderation rejected my registration 2 times, and i had to register for third time here, after long efforts and they finally approved my registration. So i was thinking that this forum has a good administration. But i see now its one-man's rule. Well, his place, his rules, i accept this.

Im not a detective or something, i just saw this troll targeting my friend Immanenz and i qustioned his authenticity.

[Komintasavalta]

Yeah, I assume that he has some degree of knowledge of multiple wog languages, including Romanian, Italian, Spanish, and Latin.

Nunavut also posted in Latin:

Just kidding, unicuique suum/to each its own.

This passage is among my favourites:

"Est enim unum ius quo devincta est hominum societas et quod lex constituit una , quae lex est recta ratio imperandi atque prohibendi."

The full section (Cicero, De Legibus, Liber primus, 42):

Iam uero illud stultissimum, existimare omnia iusta esse quae s<​c>ita sint in populorum institutis aut legibus. Etiamne si quae leges sint tyrannorum? Si triginta illi Athenis leges inponere uoluissent, et si omnes Athenienses delectarentur tyrannicis legibus, num idcirco eae leges iustae haberentur? Nihilo credo magis illa quam interrex noster tulit, ut dictator quem uellet ciuium <​nominatim> aut indicta causa inpune posset occidere. Est enim unum ius quo deuincta est hominum societas et quod lex constituit una, quae lex est recta ratio imperandi atque prohibendi. Quam qui ignorat, is est iniustus, siue est illa scripta uspiam siue nusquam. Quodsi iustitia est obtemperatio scriptis legibus institutisque populorum, et si, ut eidem dicunt, utilitate omnia metienda sunt, negleget leges easque perrumpet, si poterit, is qui sibi eam rem fructuosam putabit fore. Ita fit ut nulla sit omnino iustitia, si neque natura est <​et> ea quae propter utilitatem constituitur utilitate <​a>lia conuellitur.

When his sock Empedocle wrote in Italian, an Italian user said that he is not a native speaker (https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...=1#post7032401). When Zarass (who I think is him but I'm not yet sure) wrote in Spanish, a Spanish user said this: "Eres tú el que no eres español (se te nota en cómo escribes)" ("It is you who are not Spanish (it shows in how you write)") (https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...=1#post6818939). When his sock Cuman_w posted in Romanian, a Romanian user said that it was not machine-translated (https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...=1#post6986149). I'm not 100% sure if Dobruja is him, but Dobruja also wrote in Romanian (https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...20#post7040720).

(Zarass had an Andorran flag, which looks like the flags of Moldova and Romania. The user Kalibak who has a flag of Chad is probably also him.)

His sock Gommi wrote this about himself in the third person, which might have actually been true:

I remember that, on AS, he has written that he knows Italian and that he has almost a degree in romance languages (he deleted such info very soon, btw)

No you have to understand how intimidating it must be for a new member who come here, gather enough courage to post an intro thread, and then be attacked by 3 established members in a row for no reason. And no, it's not a joke. It is serious to me.

Yes, you have a point. It was a strange feeling.

[Loki]

Of course, it doesn't mean the new member will always be innocent -- at times it could be a sockpuppet indeed. But let's err on the side of caution initially, please. For the sake of the genuine new members who sign up. Trolls and sockpuppets will inevitably be found out later on. And if they don't, then it probably means they're not doing much harm anyway...

[Cristiano viejo]

I was accused of sockery upon my arrival here, so I know the feeling.

There must be an endemic thing because I also was accused. I even had not still posted a single post and a supposed French user started to insult me via PM accusing me of being a former Spanish user.

Things of TA

[The Lawspeaker]

Petruski here shows why we should have reservations about new members, Loki.
