A Conspiracy against me on ATS

My apologies for posting in this forum; I'm not sure where this should go.

It appears that someone has registered a user name very much like mine in order to post gay porn on my friends' and debating partners' profiles. My u2u box was full this morning, mostly with people asking me whether I'd lost my mind.

Thanks to Crakeur for his u2u alerting me to what had happened.

To all who have been bothered by this vile-brained churl (or churls), my apologies. I don't see why he or she (or they) couldn't have taken me on face to face, instead of going behind my back and doing this disgusting thing.

Moderators, please move this at once if you feel it should be moved; but I'd appreciate it greatly if you'd let it stay here for 48 hours or so.

Hopefully the mods get to the bottom of this, as it is a very underhanded thing to do to somebody, as well as everyone who was affected by this. Regardless of what anybody thinks of Asty here, this is unacceptable behavior. Very cowardly and totally without honor.

Geez, that sucks mate. Just goes to show the maturity level of some of the newer ATS users

Hopefully the mods catch the guy

Good luck

Down with Astysyntax! He must be removed from power!

haha..just kidding man. That sucks that someone did that. I think everyone that really knows you though, would know that you didn't really do that stuff.

I was curious so I I tried to find this prankster. It shows he has be banned. however it also shows he has 5006 pts. How does someone accrue that many points in one day?

Hey Astyanax,
I heard from another member this afternoon who had the exact same problem.
He U2Ued me about it.
I believe it has something to do with defending homosexual right on my thread "Evolutionary dynamics of male homosexuality."
Apparently some homophobic zealot is trying to make a point. What that point is, is beyond me.
Some people!

By the way, I vote for you getting his points.

He joined Twitter I would assume, and got the 5k points
Thankfully the miscreant as been stopped in awesome time.

I cannot begin to imagine the worms some people have eating their brain.
Certainly sounds to me this could be a legal matter. Disseminating porn over the web. Defamation. Using telephone/media lines in the commision of a crime.

Your a good person and a good poster, years back i was attacked on a different board a conspiracy if you wanna call it that, and trust me it wasen't fun.

Yes, we had a problem with someone spoofing Astyanax and posting inappropriate content in profiles. I'm unsure as to how anyone saw a member with points as we caught them rather quickly and they never posted in any threads but that's neither here nor there.

Please note, this was not Astyanax so don't blame him.

With that, this thread shall be closed.
