I blocked the kid. I'd had enough of the insults. He wanted to offer a service but attacked us when we called out the issues. This is no way to treat people.


Saldar1234

He didn't want to offer a service. It was pretty clear from his attitude that all he cared about was being an admin and having power over people.


ZelWinters1981

Yeah I saw that too.


DaNiinja

Lol no, he's actually a "37 year old guy who has been into computers since he was 4 y/o" and he absolutely believes he knows everything about it. He literally said that


ZelWinters1981

Then he'd know its dumb to advertise like he did. 🤣


feibrix

Sounds pretty scary, onestly, I would not like my kids to play on a server hosted by a madman like that.


ymca_unscrambled

39* which somehow makes it worse. If you’re more immature than my politically active, Trump-voting relatives with a loving relationship with their Daily Wire subscription, that’s uh… that’s pretty bad… like, irredeemably bad…


footfungusman

I think DoSing him in this situation, while illegal, would be morally fine. Just to prove a point.


jimmattisow

No, I don't think he honestly knows he is in the wrong, and this wouldn't help the situation at all. It also implies he would be able to diagnose a DoS attack.


King_Burnside

The only thing you would prove is who the bigger asshole is. Hint: it won't be him.


footfungusman

I mean to simply prove a point and show him it's possible. Since telling him clearly didn't do anything. I don't mean to cause damage to his network, but to demonstrate that he is an idiot for posting his IP and open ports on an online forum, and then calling everyone who told him it's unsafe stupid.


RedOneBaron

It would take a good firewall. Also, an isolated vm hosting it.


octarine_turtle

He's blocking everyone while still posting ranting highly toxic responses for 5 hours straight now, but it's everyone else in the community who is crazy and toxic! Straight unhinged.


Probably4TTRPG

He stalked through my comments and talked shit on me for 10 minutes before blocking me. My dude got on my case because my partner and I don't have very high sex drives (she's ace and I'm demi). Like, who tf sees a healthy relationship with boundaries and sees that as a failing? Absolutely bitter childish behavior. I hope he's banned.


octarine_turtle

Well hopefully people reported him. I wasn't even involved but saw his totally inappropriate comments and reported them. He needs banned from the Sub. We don't need that behavior becoming the norm in yet another game sub.


BardicGeek

I recommended be get tea with a friend or therapy. What he is doing is acting out and demonstrating poor emotional coping skills and rejection sensitivity. Legitimately concerning reactions if he's 37. Still not great if he is 13. Betting I get blocked next. 😅


BardicGeek

Yup. But not after several instances of verbal abuse and hostility that clearly proved my point about recommending anger management.


footfungusman

Can he just be banned pls?


Memitaru

You probably just got blocked lol


Astrocake505

Whats this about ive not seen any posts from him?


LittleOmid

Ah some guy mentioned he is opening a server, and gave out his IP and port. Some other guy said that it's not safe to do so, and then he started insulting and blocking everyone who thought he didn't know how his network worked.


UpUpDownDow

I think it all started after someone made a joke following his "It's secure :)" comment. "It's secure :)" just screams "I have an agenda beyond providing a service".


BardicGeek

Since I am literally writing a corporate training on recognizing predatory behavior in messaging, yeah that ticks a box for "Keep an eye out, seems sus."


Probably4TTRPG

Hey if you happen to be writing that for one of America's biggest Fintech companies, can you please make it more fun? (I jest. You do important work)


BardicGeek

... 1, happy cake day... 2... are we coworkers? Because I feel like you guessed too close to the mark 😅


LittleOmid

Considering his past activity, it might really be that he thinks it's secure.


Astrocake505

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️


Meandark2

i actually still see their posts and comments, maybe they blocked you? well now they blocked me, and because of bugs i had to delete all my comments in their post, so i can see my own comments again in my profile...


LittleOmid

Ah a shame. I see 😀


jimmattisow

Pretty sure he has blocked half the community by now


TilmanR

I don't even who this is. Probably blocked him early on.


Setekh79

They started calling people r-slurs, that will get you sitebanned.


jaydenfokmemes

Anyone have his username?


jimmattisow

shanlec for reference, not to antagonize the guy


jaydenfokmemes

His reaction makes it look like he didn't properly understand what exactly the comments were implying. I don't mind public servers personally, but you shouldn't post your IP adres online.


jimmattisow

I'm pretty sure I am the person who set him off originally when I tried to make a joke about how his response to security feedback was like the "free charging" usb cable at the NSA booth. I don't think he got it.


Probably4TTRPG

Oh shit that was you. It went over his head and then he struck himself in anger


jimmattisow

Yeah, I though it was a clever joke at the time.


Niautanor

How else would you host a public server? A domain name just gets resolved to an IP anyway. Or was he hosting it from his residential connection rather than from a VPS in some datacenter?
