Dave Ambrose Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Two years ago, we banned an individual, Anthony Oteri. He has worked he way back on to the board and is now planning to send people messages regarding his views of his conduct, our conduct, and the outcomes. We'd much prefer that he take the hint, and go elsewhere, except it's my understanding that several other boards have banned him too. If you receive any unwanted private messages, please report them to us, so we can shut down his other accounts. Thanks, Dave Ambrose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Dave, can you tell us what his user name was? Most people here don't use their real name as their user name and sometimes either don't show their real name anywhere or make one up. I've noticed a couple here claiming "real names" that I recognize from books, music, TV, etc that's too much of a coincidence to be real.

Xingu Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I think most here will remember him as Modeltruckbuilder. He had several other accounts as well, but they were seldom used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 It would help to remove the other members who also were previously banned, but came back under new user/screen names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All his known and suspected accounts are either disabled or under moderation. If you see an account with a clearly fake name. Please report it to us.

Jim B Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I didn't realize he had been banned. I just thought he was up to his usual antics of deleting all of his posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 That is too bad that Anthony is a trouble maker. He is an excellent truck modeler. I have seen (and photographed) some of his models the Classic Plastic model contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 He used to post here under his own name and yes, I remember when he was here earlier he was causing trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.D.F. Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Could you define "trouble" that can get you banned ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 When I was a moderator at another car forum, we had the same problem with a certain individual. He would keep coming back with a different username, but the IP address would always give him away. Its a shame when one must babysit an adult that prefers to be a keyboard warrior. I’m not sure what infractions he has but, he probably isn’t even s bad guy off the forums, but some people just get a little brave when on a forum, and not dealing with people face to face.

OldTrucker Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 A big non no here is starting arguments with other members and or trying to discredit others abilities or knowledge about things. Sure, disagreements happen but to prolong and instigate more on top of what is already there, rather than just agreeing to disagree and letting it go is a thing that can tear a site apart. The member in question was one that practiced this regularly and it is sad because he is a really good modeler and has a lot to offer to the hobby but like a lot of talented people has an ego too big to handle. Richie, just look at the forum rules and follow them and you have nothing to worry about. That from one that has learned from experience!

Also as I stated above, “ I’m not sure what infractions he has”, but I’m sure he was most likely warned, more than once, before being banned.

Bugatti Fan Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) If the guy in question is such a good truck modeller, maybe he should put his abilities to more better use like writing articles for Truck Model World Magazine, Scale Auto or MCM instead of wasting his time and every body else's by trolling under different pseudonyms. A bit like the saddo at the end of a bar muttering into his beer about how the world is against him instead of doing something positive. Edited February 27, 2019 by Bugatti Fan Typo errors.
