Abusive posters

[SteveD]

Please blacklist abusive posters (e.g. Bagel) who post lists of identical questions in several categories. This Marlboro rubbish is spoiling Answerbank. At the same time, please delete all his/her posts axcept any which are in "Quizzes & Puzzles". Likewise for all other Marlboro posts.

I second that

I personally think that all their posts (whether in quizzes or not) should be removed. At this stage he/she has started clogging up several sections. I admit that they are quiz questions but the situation is getting ridiculous. The only way to deal with these people is to remove them and their questions completely.

I third that. Just discovered answerbank a couple of months ago, and I have really enjoyed it until recently. When I've had a few minutes or a spare half hour it has been fun to visit the site and respond to some of the questions. I have even benefitted by answers to some questions - but now this site has become a nightmare since it has been hijacked by Marlboro posters. Research doesn't mean posting a whole series of questions from a competition. If the rest of us can find the answers by simple google searches, (and I don't mean google searches that lead to answerbank type websites)why can't those posting the questions take the same initiative? I am not part of this Marlboro thing at all. I was naive enough to answer some of the Marlboro questions until I discovered the questions and types of questions were appearing over and over again in every category. I am so ****** off now that if it doesn't stop I will lose all interest in returning to the website.

I should point out that I'm going through all of the categories posting answers to all of the Marlboro questions. This is for two reasons:-

1) It should overload the people abusing this site with e-mails.
2) Once an answer has been posted the question is moved to the answered questions list. This way I will be able to click on all unanswered questions and not see any Marlboro mayhem.

Isn't it amazing? My answer gets edited by the answerbank because I wrote "p1ssed off" but all these cr*ppy Marlboro questions can hijack the site without any intervention from AB. It's laughable!

Somehow we have to find a way to notify marlboro about individuals using perfectly good website such as this for their own greediness. I've been working on the Marlboro catolog for months now and I'm still not finished. There's no way I would be so pathetic as to get someone else to do my work for me. I will be taking steps to make sure all individuals who continue with this mockery will be dealt with appropriately.

i did call marlboro and tell them anout the people using sites like this and others, they said their is simply nothing they can do. they do not controll the internet. it would be up to the individual webmasters to stop or allow it to continue. too bad, heh? good luck.

[Akcrowe]

just so yall know...i called marlboro myself and they said it was perfectly fine to get the answers this way...even though i have done my own research i have been stumped by 3 questions. If you don't like what you see then don't click on the link for the Marlboro questions. There is more disappointing things on the net then this.

I agree with AK, why don't you just skip the posts that you obviously know are Marlboro questions? It would seem to cause you a lot less strife
