Didn't you guys start it though by ridiculing and attacking him everytime he posted one of his questions?

You obviously know more about that cavea-whatever drama than I do so we'll just leave it at that.

I ignored most of his posts. That's all one needs to do.

ddongbap · 11-30-2008, 09:22 PM

Everyone has just a one sided story of things, and they think they're right.

floydisrock · 12-01-2008, 12:11 AM

I would just use the ignore feature myself.
I don't see much use in banning folks,except to make the mods feel useful.
I'm glad others actually spoke up.
Nice job.

Cavetipse was a little funny, but he was a very annoying jerk more often, so glad he is gone. Yaris world is SOOOO much better than they gave credit for. And I also like the fact that people here don't bash for what kind of car you have, or what you did to it, or what you plan to do to it. (except those pricks who are on here that keep saying "Go stock, because it's right and great!", yeah, you can all just ignore my posts and I will be just fine) Drive On!

Not really, it was he who had started this whole ordeal. He asked quite a few questions and/or opinions, and when given some opinions/suggestions, he lashed out at them. I, for one, was lashed out at when I gave him input on the subject he started.

He did that on almost all of his threads, and quite frankly, we just got tired of it.

IsLNdbOi · 12-01-2008, 01:54 AM

That's when you guys should have put him on the ignore list.

ChinoCharles · 12-01-2008, 01:56 AM

There are other car forums? I only visit them to talk about YW. This is all the car forum I need.

I don't put anyone on the ignore list. Even though I do not like a person, I would still like to help...if that person doesn't lash out again.

ChinoCharles · 12-01-2008, 05:36 AM

No offense (seriously) but what does it say about you if you get worked up over someone "lashing out" on a car forum?

Personally, I think it is sad that we let some dumbass become such a story. I've said it a trillion times and I'll say it a trillion more, I think we should just let him have a damn username. We can't ban his DNA. He keeps switching IP's. Oh well. Suck it up. If you don't like him, put him on ignore. Plain and simple. He is going to be a member, whether it be today or in a year. His moronic persistence gives him strength. Get used to it.

jambo101 · 12-01-2008, 06:57 AM

Just use the ignore feature if you dont want to view what some one has to say,it works so well i dont really see the need for banning some one. As for caveatipse's obnoxious behavior i'm not seeing it over at Toyota Nation

ChinoCharles · 12-01-2008, 07:49 AM

Then what? He holds us at gunpoint?

He is going to complain.

Black Yaris · 12-01-2008, 08:00 AM

all I have to say is..... caveatipse

Shroomster · 12-01-2008, 11:43 AM

all I have to say is he is back as TOMGEORGIA.....really what I don't understand is how he comes up with his geographically inspired names........

at least if you're reading this can you explain all your other name variations?

Caveatispe =
VPcorp =
willyt =
TomGeorgia =

WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

SailDesign · 12-01-2008, 12:06 PM

If my Latin memory is any good (only been 40 years since I last took it at school) Caveat Ipse = Beware of him.....
Kinda appropriate, no?

landrym28 · 12-01-2008, 01:39 PM

Wow...we're referred to as a "Gay Forum"..? Of course it is...we're all happy here

BailOut · 12-01-2008, 01:47 PM

Just an FYI: The ignore feature has a glaring hole. If a user on ignore creates a new thread you still see it listed in the forum and it still shows up on searches (including "New Posts") because other, non-ignored people may post on it.

It is in our nature to be curious and the temptation to see what shenanigans the ignored person is up to is great... sometimes too great.

That said, caveatipse was a special case. I believe he is a cunning, patient and intelligent troll. It does not matter what the topic of any of his threads are as his behavior always follows the same pattern. Generate an off-the-wall inquiry or inane/banal topic, wait for a few responses, if anyone attacks in any fashion whatsoever unleash the venom, and if no one attacks then attack the "good" responders in lieu. When those you attacked respond in any fashion claim you are the victim and plea for assistance. Lather, rinse, repeat.

He truly deserved the banning and was lucky that it took so long to happen, and that it is so loosely enforced.

nsmitchell · 12-01-2008, 03:03 PM

I thought he was pissing folks off by PMing them ridiculous stuff.

Kal-El · 12-01-2008, 10:57 PM

I wouldn't define him as a troll.

An "online troll" is a person who temporarily joins online clubs/forums with a predisposed negativity or dislike towards the forums subjects or interests and bashes that interest and often promotes his self-interest.

For example:

A troll would be a Honda nut who joined YarisWorld to make one post describing how the Fit is the best small car ever and that the Yaris sucks in comparison. And maybe he'd post up biased links to support his claim. Then you'd probably never see him again.

(this is common from BMW and Honda lovers who often have superiority complexes)
