So some of you may remember a person called "LewnaJa" - he started being a richard on the RTB forums once so we banned him. He re-registered and persisted to be a richard and we re-banned him and for a while, all was good. Until a a couple of months ago when he ... returned. Here's the blow-by-blow commentary of what happened:
Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 5:03pm - I'm Back and I'm SeriousOk many of you know I've been banned TWICE for not using the forums right and now I decided to think about what I've been doing WRONG, and I have. I am now going to use the forums for what it should be used for. I apologise to all the members of RTB and Staff plus Moderators I caused trouble to. Please Accept my apology. I shall now move on using the forums correctly.

I decided a third chance was a bit too kind, so I banned it. Not 6 hours later I find this post in the same thread: I highlighted particularly funny bits in red.
Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 11:27pm - I'm Back and I'm Serioussmurf you Ephi, your gay, you have a chode. You got no balls, Even LAKITTY CAT is more mature than you. Your the most gay person on the forums. You never saw me starting fights on BL forums and RTB Forums. Your just smurf gay. So is badspot. You both can kiss my balls and live on the streets. You see, im not the one causing chaos in both BL and RTB2 Forums. You just suck. smurf all of you who disrespect me. *Glares at Iban* and you Ephi, get a life. I never started a single fight on both the forums, people just pissed me off for no damn reason. so you see? you need to shut the hell up and stop banning me because ill never leave. I have the power to DESTROY your computer if I wanted. But I won't because I'm not a MEAN person untill people piss me off. So yeah, smurf off looser.
I was offline at the time so he continued posting:
Sunday, December 22, 2008 - 4:29pm - I'm Back and I'm Serious1. I am no longer mad at any of you.
2. I did not come here for counselling.
3. IcyGamma is probably the nicest person I know here besides Mr.Cookie.
All I want is for Ephi or any other staff here like mocheeze to unban LewnaJa RTB2 FTW So I can have a fresh start here and get on with life.
Whos with me?
(Remember the part where he says he is no longer mad at anyone) And not 2 minutes later in response to someone else:
Sunday, December 22, 2008 - 4:31pm - I'm Back and I'm SeriousYOU can kiss my butt and shut up for all I care. No one here needs your fricking grape or insults, oh yeah and REPORTED for breaking the Terms&Conditions.
Of course I found this and banned him again, and the land rejoiced. We enjoyed a pleasant couple of weeks until - guess who shows up on our front doorstep begging for forgiveness:
Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 6:56pm - I'm Bacccck! Please view before banning, EphialtesHi, its me, LewnaJa back on the forums and mature than ever. I know how most of you haven't liked my actions in the past couple years on both forums, and I'm sorry for what I did, and to let all of you know finally the reasons of why im doing this is because I have a only able to get when born Brain Disorter, it is called Tourette Syndrome, and Tourette Syndrome doesn't let me control my self on what I type on the internet or what I do in real life, I never meant to make enemies with a lot of people with my annoyance. And to Ephialtes I never meant anything I said to you and I'm sorry. I just want to make friends here guys, I am now taking medication for my Tourette Syndrome and I should be better on the forums with how I act. I just want to make friends on Blockland, thats all I ever wanted. I'm sorry to Badspot, Ephialtes, IcyGamma, Evil MuffinZ, and all the other people that hate me right now. I want you all to please forgive me for the past couple years. All I wanted was to make friends with you when we first talked, Ephialtes. I never wanted to make enemies with you and I just want you all to understand the most ANNOYING Conditions that I am going through in life. Thank you all for reading, and I hope you accept my apology and hopefully accept me into the forums.

After reading the whole post I felt all I was dealing with was a poor kid who just wants to be included in our little community - so I banned him again. Then:
Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 10:09pm - Its The TRUTH!!!! READ EPHIALTESI swear to god, cross my heart and hope to die, I HAVE Tourette syndome, my uncle, has it more severely than I do, when I was born he could tell already that I had Tourette Syndrome, dont you guys EVER wander why I act like a richard and keep typing jk lol and keep typing snake and crap!?!? isnt that a little ODD?! Its the truth, Ephialtes, please, I just want people to understand me, I dont want people to hate me, especially you, remember the time I swore at you in irc? My tourettes MAKES me type things that I DONT want to say, because if I DONT, it bothers the hell out of me untill I do, please, Ephialtes, You HAVE to understand, none of you here understand what I go through EVERY DAY with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorter), which is the only tourettes I have besides my typing disorter. You guys gotta beleive me, I'm a kind person who always used to make friends, my tourettes never effected me THIS BAD untill 5th grade. quite a while ago that was, but please, I know you hate me currently for all my ignorance, but, I dont hate you, I care for everyone here on the blockland forums, even for the people who have disorders like I do, but its the truth, all I want to do is make friends. Ephialtes, I never wanted to be enemies with you, I just wanted to be friends.
So by this point I could see he wasn't going to go away, but he clearly wanted to make friends with us. I had a tough decision to make - Would I accept him back into the community and end all of these posts and accounts he was making and spamming? Or would I reject him again and submit our forums to more barrages of abuse and account spam? Of course I chose the second choice and banned him again, this time boasting about my plans for a system where you need a BL ID that hasn't been banned in order to register a new account on these forums, and got the following reply:
Friday, January 30, 2009 - 9:20pm - Its The TRUTH!!!! READ EPHIALTESToo bad I HAVE an ID, handicap, I have two of them, so why dont you just crawl back in your hole and live life in your hobo box and quit bitching off. If you dont like me, fine, ill just keep coming back, ban after ban, torturing you untill you DIE. So that new forum ID you have is going to FAIL HARD. So, y'know. time for some torture. bunghole'd queef burger. you CANNOT over power me, bow down to your new master, dog of the female love! I OWN YOU, your sad little attempts to keep me off the forums for good, IP BANNING ME FROM THE SITE!! FAILED HARD IN THE bum. IM BACK BITCHES!!
So I decided to increase the priority of my ID registration idea and implemented them about 30 minutes after banning LewnaJa again, and then i threw his ID on the banlist so he couldn't register using it. Since then we have not had any more visits from him, although during a routine pm-spam session at me in IRC he informed me he'd be buying more Blockland accounts to continue registering on the forums. I don't really know what I was getting at with posting this, I just found his insane rantings to be quite amusing and they make for a good read when you're bored. I guess this goes to show that you CAN effectively rid yourself of idiots and even make a little money for Badspot on the side.
