Title: Ebay the tin foil hat area
Post by: Bazinga on June 09, 2009, 11:32:54 AM

There seems to be some that are very paranoid on the ebay forums and don’t seem to have a clue about how the Internet actually works.

I responded to what seemed to be a very paranoid post this morning from a poster that seemed to lack the most basic of understanding of how things actually worked on the net and someone took offence to it, funny how they can dish it out but have a huge issue with accepting facts.


Hello night-hawk-1,

Recently we became aware that your eBay registered account was involved in the
following activity:

Posting disruptive or hostile comments, including interpersonal disputes.

which is not permitted at eBay.

Good morning RT friends

Good morning to the paranoid also.

I should take up selling tin foil hats on eBay as there seems to be a
very large market for them here.

I wonder how these people think this so called personal info is collected?

The only group I know of that collect buyers/sellers info is a very
large power seller that has been known to buy from other posters just
to collect contact info and the PS is not even a member on that other
site.


One has to question what they actually fear, is it simply a case of sour grapes?

Do they really think that posters will return to ebay forums en mass if this site fails?

In my opinion the ebay forums have been ruined and will never be a shaddow of what they were.

The help boards are now useless and only the CS board has any thing to offer its posters in the way of light hearted fun.

Hi ya Imp I just can’t believe how some can be so paranoid and have so little understanding about how the Internet actually works.

I am shocked at the ignorance of some.

Perhaps these are the people who should turn off their computers, disconnect from the net and get a tin foil hat. :oops:

Hi ya Yibida it seems they are not content with just stuffing up the help boards,

they have followed posters to the only thread left on the ebay boards that has the old Rt crew posting just to stir and harass, then they go on about letting things go.

It appears to me that they are the ones that can’t let it go and do all they can to keep the crap stirred up.

Pathetic small people that seem to think they are of some importance, when all they are is a pain in the bum, nuisance value.

Hear hear Hawky.  I also cannot understand why they are so obsessed with us.  

Didn't one rather sharp member tell us all to go and find our own site if we didn't like the way the ebay fora had become?  

And so when we take their advice,  they are still not happy sending spurious mocking posts after midnight when they think noone is watching and deadly nail file infested IP missiles aimed at our proxy server at all hours and from all corners, to attack this site.  

They join the site with intention to troll and lay in wait until they can point out some perceived inadequacy or weakness on our part.   They feverishly and obsessively work their way through all our posts and then vomit up a twisted stinking spin on the Aus ebay site.  

Instead of attending to their ebay business and attending to RL, they inhabit the small remnant of the murdered RT existing in a single thread on the CS and descend in orchestrated droves to disrupt and disturb the peace.

Hey - isn't being so obsessed a sign of mental problems?

Occasionally people find themselves posting nastiness or inciting nastiness... and then of course there is strong disagreement... There's a significant gap between the two.

I find it bizarre that somehow there is an idea that we cannot disagree with each other... For instance, I'd rather see arguments here than malicious niceness. I don't like sugar-coated meanness. I simply shrug at the antics of those who use ignorance and misleading blanket statements and sweet concerned little suggestions in order to perpetuate their acts of malice.

I won't check the eBay forums, so I know nothing about what is being posted there. As far as I'm concerned, let those who like posting there do so. And let those who like posting here do so. And if there are any who like posting both there and here, let them do so. The world is big enough for a great many people with a great many different ideas and different acquaintances and different points of view...

(Is that silly rumour about private information being collected here still being perpetuated? Weird. What do they imagine we do? Send rain-coated spies following the members?)

Countess I have asked them a number of times where they think any infomation they claim that is collected actually comes from.

When all that is required to join in nothing more than a made up ID and an email address, what personal information does anyone with more than half a brain think can be extraced from that?

Are they really that stupid that they think those things can provide personal info in some way.

It would be preferable to see people debate their differing points of view and to see them agree to disagree.Adults should be able to receive constructive criticism and to discuss said criticism in a mature manner.

I appreciate ascerbic wit, humour and fun. I loathe any malicious, incorrect statement/innuendo which is designed to create damage.

PARANOIA
A developing pattern of unfounded thoughts and fears, often based on misinterpretation of actual events. People with paranoia may consider themselves endowed with unique and superior abilities or may have the delusion that others are conspiring to do them harm.

Just had a read of the RT thread. So someone actually stated that a mod on here is tracking IP addresses then putting it all in a spreadsheet with other personal data and profiling?

First issue there, usually only an admin would have access to IP data  and names and addresses anyway. A mod just gets added access on the forums to be able to move/delete/edit posts and few other similar things.

Looks to me that they don't understand it at all so are clutching at straws now with really bad understanding of basically everything.

Tin hats all round please!

Hi ernest....,

First issue there, usually only an admin would have access to IP data  and names and addresses anyway.

no names or addresses are required to join this site...no personal info is requested or stored...nothing that identifies anyone.....so, what is paranoia?  or more appropriately, what is malicious gossip?.  

You only need to consider who it is generating this negative propaganda, to see that this person has a personal agenda....and perhaps could use some quiet introspection, and failing that...there's always formal therapy.
Title: Re: Ebay the tin foil hat area
Post by: *CountessA* on June 11, 2009, 11:26:10 AM
Is the individual who's concerned about IP addresses aware that every time he/she visits any website at all, his/her IP address is noted? Does he/she realise that using the internet in any way leaves electronic footprints? Perhaps the internet isn't really the place for that individual if he/she doesn't understand this very basic concept. IP information in itself does not provide identification and every forum - EVERY SINGLE FORUM - and every homepage, every Tweet and Twitter and Twaddle site, every site with any content whatsoever, irrespective of what content that is - EVERY SINGLE SITE has IP information pertaining to those who browse those sites.

Again: EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE in the world has IP information pertaining to those who visit the sites.

Of course if handed to law enforcement agencies in the event of an IP being identified as involved in criminal activity occurring on a website, and co-operation is asked for by the authorities, the proper law enforcement agencies can use that information to help to identify the criminal. Is that what's worrying the individual concerned?

This just seems bizarre! It's like a person walking into someone's home and objecting to the homeowner being unable to avoid seeing how tall the person is. It's like someone walking along the footpath and objecting to passersby noting that he or she is walking there.

I think it's great that those few delusional people on the Ebay forums continue to denigrate this web site. It is excellent advertising as others who may not have been aware of the existence of OZ Round Table in the past pop into have a look. Many of these visitors like what they see & join up.

After they join up they find that none of the rot & lies, being propagated by a few spiteful Ebay posters, exist.

I shouldn't be reading some of these posts while drinking coffee...!

Now, moderation-wise... think in terms of legal liability. If it will render the site liable, it will be moderated. If it offends a lot of people, it will be moderated. If it offends a few people but not a lot of people, and won't render the site liable, it won't be moderated.

There's a fine line between satire and gross bad taste. A lot of comedians either find that line or end up cleaning toilets in public parks...

Monty Python found the line and... well, some of their material stepped over their edge, but mostly it found exactly the place where it teetered and made the entire world laugh.

Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson found the line and shoved it over. "Good taste?" they said to each other. "Good taste? Shall we?... Naaaah."

Yep - another reference again on our favourite eBay thread today to the 'secretive' and 'invasive' and potentially 'damaging' 1,000 page evil terms and conditions you have to sign before you can become a member here :) With the usual crowd then amazingly and suddenly appearing in the thread on song.

And again - all that happened is probably a few more people signed up here today!  ;D

At least they aren't talking IP's anymore!

Morning all.
I copped a slap sometime after 2.00am this morning for posting in support of Rosie.

My post was;

"Rosie.  Don't feel sick or upset. You aren't
the one needing psychiatric help. The person who reported
your posts can't handle the truth."

I guess Babs can't handle the truth.

ubbrd,

That must have been a late slap.....


"Rosie.  Don't feel sick or upset. You aren't
the one needing psychiatric help. The person who reported
your posts can't handle the truth."


Possibly - although I suspect that they simply gain some sort of pleasure in kicking someone when they are down. Lion's difficulties have been known for a while now - makes the slaps that she copped intentionally malicious.

Your comments were not inappropriate IMO.

I was  following that thread last night.. it got nastier as the night wore on.. then some people complained of numerous slaps... as one poster wrote "I see that the same old problem that haunted the old RT is still stirring strife and turmoil *sigh*"......

The best thing about this site is we can get rid of the slime balls permanently if they cause trouble here..
Over there there is no such recourse.....

At least here we can contact Admin anytime Day or Night to discuss anything were not happy with.... and assumed Innocent till proven guilty...

Over there you are guilty full stop !.... then have to argue your case with brainless robots !!

And they say it's not fair over Here ?.........PLEASE gimi a break !...

Good to see you Yib!

Does tend to make you wonder whether Ebay actually cares a damn about what's going on. At least, while the argument continues - genuine problems with posters where Eb may have a responsibility are simply overlooked? Maybe a complimenting situation to the new forum outlay?

The saddest thing - as the countess commented on earlier - there are a lot of genuinely nice people over there - who, for reasons of their own are not registered here. It's nice to touch base with them from time to time.

Me thinks that dear ole Tello wouldn't last over there long..... and he would be missed from here!

Work time for me. You have a good one!

Actually Hawk,  they write it as they want others to believe it.....in the real world, it's known as 'Malicious Gossip'.  It's the same stuff being churned out since May....talk about a broken record......enough sour grapes over there to make a barrel full of vinegar.  You'd think they could come up with something more creative.  Though I see they are advancing to personal attacks now, so I guess that's a graduation of sorts.

Oh well...at least it's entertaining.....and it gets more colourful by the minute....LMAO.  Thank your lucky stars you're not married to any of them.

Title: Re: Ebay the tin foil hat area
Post by: ernest_price on June 22, 2009, 03:37:53 PM
It's pretty easy :)

One of them is peed off at being removed from here.

A few others are just upset the way wiping the eBay Rt turned out - plus they can't rule the sandbox here or on eBay, so poo poo this site.

Even more are just multiple accounts of the above people. Makes it look like a crowd when it's only 5 people.

Why they make a point of membership going up/down around here is strange - it's a new site - some will try it - many will like it, a few won't like it and just stop coming or delete their account and a few just throw a hissy fit when their view of the world is shown to be different to the general population in here.

Anyone know how the actual ebay help boards are going now.

They must be totally dead for all those posters to have so much time on their hands.

I would look myself but looking at how its turned out makes me sad when I think all those members that no longer get help because the boards have become so fragmented.

For the benefit of Countessa, this is the comment that raised eyebrows:

Riff Raff. #119.

I made that comment on the RT Reunion thread, as you know.

When it was pointed out to me that there had been several resignations, I acknowledged that fact. That is not back peddling it is showing guts & being honest.
If you are referring to me as the one who back peddled I regard that as an insult.

I like many others here do not like the lies and innuendo that one or two disgruntled RT Reunion members are posting on that thread.
I know what is fact & what is fiction & I'm prepared to defend the OZ Round Table.

I have nothing against the Ebay forums & post on there from time to time. When I post here I do not tell lies about the Ebay forums or any of their members and I would not condone that behaviour by any of the OZ Round Table members.

Hi Riff... really at the end of the day I can't see why it matter's?.... as I said on the Rt reunion thread... all that was required for me to join as with anyone else who wanted to join was a user name and password...I can't for the life of me work out why this is so evil?......

I've almost given up visiting the eBay boards. Just drop in every now and then. Too much personal mud slinging for my liking. A shame really, because it means I tend to visit the eBay site less and less now and my buying has dropped from about 3 items a week to about 3 items a month (over both IDs). I don't spend as much time browsing and some things I used to buy just aren't available any more on eBay or I'm able to buy them cheaper elsewhere.

The father of a friend of a friend (needing a lot of care; I know there's some sort of medical problem there) wears his bathrobe all day - unless his daughter sternly demands that he get dressed. (As she works all day, it's a bit difficult... She phones home during the day and says in stentorian tones: "Are you dressed, dad?"

There have apparently been a few raised eyebrows over that question... Apparently her supervisor misunderstood and thought her father was running around in the altogether all day.

(I'd have thought it was a bit chilly for that sort of behaviour, even if one were so inclined...)

Slight change of direction here but still tin foil hat related.

What's your best eBay tin foil hat conspiracy?

My top 2:

1. Watchers is a faked number designed to give you confidence to re-list that item just one more time instead of giving up selling an item.
2. Page visits is a faked number. How in fcuks name can I have 5 visits to the item when I only listed it 30 seconds ago?

Ernest, lovely idea! Let's see... some funny eBay conspiracy ideas...

ebay have every member's correct contact information, but likes to mess with the minds of people needing to contact their buyer or seller in relation to after-sales problems - so they generate fake phone numbers!

#4 Hidden bidder bidding history/info is faked to discourage external analysis. Not that I believe any auction site would actually do that, of course. No way. Not a chance etc.
