Yes, there always seems to be something interesting going on here. That's why I (and undoubtedly others) keep coming back!
Anyway, I've had more than enough for now. I'm not going to even my wit to them as they say where I'm from. If this is what MI6 wants a Bond forum to be in mid-2013 they're welcome to it. Anyway, there is much work to be done on my blog project and I am very behind schedule over there. Goodbye for now.
Seriously this is a bit of an overreaction, wouldn't you agree? "Too many"? I count three at most, and they are being taken care of. Also, you don't need to deal with them, you need to ignore them.
A lot goes on behind the scenes. @MajorDSmythe, @Benny, myself and the rest of the mods, we make good use of the flagging you guys do to build cases against the trolls. We warn the trolls and we alert the admins. Trolls are quickly banned. Spambots too, as we have seen recently.
Yes I second that @Dragonpol. Hope you change your mind and make a swift return :-)
I see BigGayIsland and MarshallODubleOSeven have been banned on MI6 Comm. They need to follow up with DBLO7 and Richardo for a matching set!
lifted from his twitter.
Outside of BGI acting like charles earle grey and marshall declaring a love for nightfire and slight over use of full stops I dont quite know what they did to rub him up the wrong way.
Nor do I see much problem with the other suggestions outside of the fact they are taking part. We cant go banning everyone who joins the website to take part. are forums not there to be taken part.
when i first joined came to blows with how some of your interacted with me before I realised sit back and just try to take part.
To the mods I would say we have been attacked before but when do we end the lock down. Will we ban every new member Dragonpol(I use him as an example) has issues with. With very little doubt I will be the next target.
Now I don't read every post that these people made so I dont know the whole story. My advice to the apparently observant Dragonpol is do not dramatise this. I used to think you were quite alight as far this forum went.
this outburst you have had here, tantrum over the fact this is not your private playground. That is your own blog. Here we are encouraged to act and interact.
This goes for everyone, no more tantrums.

I see dragonpol has been out rightly banned from some sites as well. over his temper.
I'm not calling for him to be banned. just stressing this poster is hardly high and mighty and has a history of letting his temper run
Dragonpol may have overposted lately, in this enthusiasm, and responded to trolls perhaps too much, but he is a good member here. If he needs to take a break, that's understandable, but I hope he comes back soon. He contributes plenty.
BGI and Marshall were the same person, which is one of many the reasons why "he" was banned by the mods.
I don't know what they do in other threads I just stated from a quick glance at marshells past posts he seemed ok. bgi seemed to be runing a proper round of guess the character.
perhaps his choice in impersonating charles grey seemed odd .
I made a post saying who are we. I mean we are a community but we seem to be drawing the doors shut very early on some people here. how is this constructive @4everbonded. we grow smaller every day
Obviously I don't know what interactions they had at a personal level with you or with the mods. perhaps they were more belligerent than they seemed. this i just lifted from the lone ranger chat board. the guy richardo gave a bit of a review then this Napoleon went on to start a thread about ordering an ipod.
richardo might be annoying some people here but hes playing by the rules, this comment though just starts the witch hunt that leads to people not taking his posts seriously.
Calling someone a troll does not make them a troll. I too oppose witch hunts.

Is this also what you mean by playing by the rules? Casual racism?
http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/260486#Comment_260486
You will find there are a great number of members on here who take issue to his trolling.
how is ones grasp of the english language being called into question casual racism?
it might explain his error in making a joke
I already said it, don't get angry here just ignore them if this bothers you.
Edit: See below for a perfect, more thorough, clarification ;)
@darthdimi
already pmed the lot of them, a bold suggestion though (this is an attempt of wit)
you must understand from my perspective that's about three new regular posters ive glanced over who have been booted within three days or more of joining. i was just worried that perhaps some where getting dragged down with the trolls and banned needlessly
Sorry, I couldn't resist. ;-)
Anyway, DC was never in any way made, asked or desired to leave. He left out of free will and to this day I regret his departure from this forum. He turned to other places, which is his good right. But it certainly wasn't our doing and I hope that one day he will be back.
In recent times we have banned two spambots and one member whose first mistake had been the double account and who proceeded not so favourably in public and in private conversations. Please accept that you haven't seen or read all of his material for as soon as objectionable content is posted by said member, we move in as fast as we can to conceal it.
Trust me, we don't just ban people for no reason. Even during a troll attack, we still consider each individual case. A few months ago, with TouchMyButtons, Judyfan, Pierceuh and the lot, we didn't get the entire batch banned instantly. One at the time and only after thorough consideration.
You're seeing things the wrong way, @oo7. We appreciate that you want to step up for other people but you're overestimating our impulses to ban. We're no animal haters because we squash a few mosquitoes. ;-) We don't even kill a mouse or a bird. What I'm trying to spell out here is that we ban only when we must, not when we feel like it.
And now, please no more in this thread.
As two of the trolls have at least been banned in accordance with due process on the site may I just post a comment here in defence of myself and to respond to some points made here. I want other members to enjoy MI6 Community and not to have it plagued by trolls.
I also don't want @oo7 to go raking through my past on Bond forums I am not longer a part of. I see no benefit/relevance in this, besides a witch-hunt/ulterior agenda. I have not to date had any problems on MI6 Community so I see little sense in raking over the ashes of bans on other forums for very different reasons. That fire is long out by this stage and I would like it to stay that way.
I have decided to return to MI6 sooner than planned, but I will not be posting as enthusiastically or regularly as the blog work is waiting for me in my free time ands I still have much to say via that outlet too.
All that remains for me to say is a big "thank you" to all those kind members who asked after me. Thank you for your faith in me as a member here. I think of you all as an extended family. I have never had this type of feeling on any other Bond forum, and despite the trolls and detractors MI6 Community remains the best James Bond forum in the world. Accept no substitutes. Roll out the bunting. Dragonpol is back.
why?
Why? Because I don't go raking through your Internet history as you have done to me here, for starters.
You say you don't want to ban me, yet you are muck-raking in this thread. I see this as unjustified and I wonder what I have done on you personally to deserve it. Perhaps you can help me with this if I am missing something.
The question is, why do you feel the need to question his reasons or disrespect his wishes?
I'm obviously not a mod, but I can tell you knowing some of them quite well, you may be treading on dangerous ground with them.
Let me assure you, @Dragonpol, that we do not appreciate this either. What happened on another forum is entirely disconnected from what happens here. If someone did something wrong, there's always that fresh start, that next chance. If someone did absolutely nothing wrong, there's even less of a point or in fact no point at all in bringing up things this community has nothing to do with.
So whatever happened on other forums is something we don't even need to know about. It stays there. You are now a member of the MI6community and you shall be treated as such, not as someone who came over from this or that forum. Everyone gets the same warm welcome here, without any baggage from other forums.
@oo7, please. Was this necessary? Can't you let it go? We are not private investigators going though member's laundry. We talk Bond. You talk Bond. Drangonpol talks Bond. We unite in that. And as long as we keep it civilised here, I don't care what happens or happened on other forums quite frankly. Maybe you pulled a girl's hair in kindergarten, set the couch on fire at grandma's place or smoked a cigarette when your parents had specifically told you not to. We're not going to dig up any of that dirt here either. It's irrelevant.
what I infered by raising dragonpols past was he had been deemed a troll and we shouldnt let tempers flair and get the better of us. dragonpol submits alot, I do not wish to vilify him just use him as an example. if we are not acceptant of new arrivals on the bus how will we get to our destination.
