Richard Gates was banned a few days ago for posting spam. He was publishing the link to his crappy site some 20 times per posting, essentially flooding the forum with spam.
Since then, he has created at least 4 new accounts, all of which he is using in a shameless attempt to start a mutiny on this site and move people to his forum. He is now posting under the usernames EconomicCrack, JuanFenito, libertardism, and Meethook.
Here is a list of his latest forum offerings:
- http://occupywallst.org/forum/why-jart/
- http://occupywallst.org/forum/see-any-threads-at-a-glance-that-have-anything-to-/
- http://occupywallst.org/forum/get-lost-trolls/
- http://occupywallst.org/forum/time-for-a-mutiny/
- http://occupywallst.org/forum/what-a-let-down/
- http://occupywallst.org/forum/twice-i-have-been-targetted-by-trolls-twice-i-have/
This guy has always spammed this forum with his links, and always will. He's not here to contribute anything, only to sell his site. He's a cook trying to become a professional programmer, but he's using the most evil and amateurish tactics to do this.
Don't reply to his postings.

P.S. This comment explains what happened:

Half of those aren't from me. Why are you trying to blame others for your mess? Because you're a small minded person. You can see no farther then the tip of your nose and the ass you kiss to sustain your miserable existence. Your life to waste not mine. What site am I selling? Half of this is to get a rise out of me and half is to get a rise out of Jart. I'm honored my attention means so much to you. Are you happy now that I have given it to you? Will you sleep better at night?
Thank you Thrasy.
No problem. I don't plan on contributing to this site anymore, but I still read it in the morning while I sip my coffee and have a smoke. I saw what Richard was doing so I decided to let everyone know. He's too obvious. You don't suddenly get a bunch of posts calling for a forum mutiny by coincidence. Also, his writing style is obvious, and he did repost his link with a few of those users. After being pushed in a few of those posts, he admits to being Richard.
And just who might you be?

I am Thrasymaque.
I agree this forum is badly moderated, but I do not agree with Richard Gates's tactic of publishing 7+ postings under various usernames in order to bring this up.
Uh-huh.
First of all, I am not any of the other accounts you listed. Such an accusation is nearing on slander, as I would like you to point out where I said I was richard.
Secondly, what happened to your first account? Don't tell me you got banned like all the other useful members of the site.
