DISQUS

Tough decision but fair. You were probably more patient than I would have been.

That last screen shot was hillarious :lol:

OOOppps! :oops:

Wayne Liew · 2 years ago

It's been so long since I made my voices heard here. Luckily for me that I didn't get any bashing from this guy.

Is this what we call over-interacting with fellow commentators? :lol: Oops, am I rude? :mrgreen:

I have seen Israel on JohnChow.com and have even seen some of the posts in his blog, to be honest, maybe I had missed that kind of posts, but never saw him rude (well until I did not saw the screenshots).

Even tho us bloggers need commentators, it is true that we don't need bashers too that piss off the rest of the folks, you have made the best decision from your point of view, so everything sounds good.

The University Kid · 2 years ago

Always seemed a bit of a twit to me; nice work on the banning. Never knew you could do that! :twisted:

Cool Alexa graph too, looks like *someone* (and I don't mean the Cow) got PWNED :lol:

Abdalla Ahmed · 2 years ago

Personally I would have kept him on my blog as I would love to keep ignoring such a cunt!

But I guess he deserved it 100%

bmunch · 2 years ago

Didn't noticed him/her at all. You might call it "Israel blindness". :wink:

But how do you ban a commenter? Can you enlighten me on this?

Though it will be a long long time before I can use this technique.

John Cow · 2 years ago

bmunch, you can find more about the ban techniques here.

david · 2 years ago

That's a pretty crazy banning plugin. You have all kinds of people here =).

Blackysky · 2 years ago

I have to say this blog is sometimes very good sometimes very bad(like any blog) but at the end of the day it is just a blog no one force you to read it :cool: This is maybe the worst tactic to be a top commentator ... spend less reading commenting and write more to get traffic :lol:
I do have the ban plugin but I hope i will never go this far :shock:

Beth · 2 years ago

I would have banned him just for spelling "because" as "cuz"-but that's just me.

Mubin · 2 years ago

As long as you are not banning people for rude comments its cool. I like to leave a rude comment every once in a while just to stir shit up.

Javo · 2 years ago

You did well, the comment box is for good replies not to fight :twisted:

Si Philp · 2 years ago

My friend has a person like this on his blog and he has been trying to be tolerant. Everything has to come to an end. As you say there are such things as constructive comments.
The WP plugin you mention is a beauty :)

SasaVtec · 2 years ago

This is too funny ahahhhahah, never banned anyone from a blog before just the random spam, maybe you can use the maintenance plugin for wp and make it only show for the banned IP's :D

Forest Parks · 2 years ago

Ha HA HAAAAA, Bye bye. You can come by my blog and get banned anytime you like :)

Tomer · 2 years ago

I don't know the full story really, so can't take sides, but just by browsing every few days, I can see that....

I think you are too money obsessed. I think the huge mass of ads on this page proves my point - The ads are very laggy and can crash browsers. Seems like you care more by profiting than your members usability of your site. I understand that everyone needs to pay the mortgage, but now its just like, more more more!

What's next? Those full page popups?

You gonna ban me too? ;-)

Ad Tracker · 2 years ago

I happen to like the ads! Atleast one of them :wink:

John Cow · 2 years ago

Tomer, the amount of ads is the same as it was ever since we introduced the new theme, except for the entrecard button. We regularly give away free ad spots to our readers which would be a silly to do if we were too money obsessed.

Rhys · 2 years ago

Seems like a twit. Now could you remove him from your top commenters list? He doesn't deserve any google juice.

Chris Jacobson · 2 years ago

Did you just ban him from commenting, or from viewing your entire blog?

John Cow · 2 years ago

Chris, IP ban for the entire blog, even though there are work-arounds for that. If he does manage to get here, the comments will be blocked for him too. And Rhys, we're pretty sure he'll disappear from the list soon enough with only 2 comments.

SasaVtec · 2 years ago

@Tomer - Some blogs you visit like cows, you will notice same amount of ads or even more, but none of them are interesting. Few minutes ago I actually visited DealDotCom.com and bought the Business Optimization Profit Pack very rarely do I find an ad thats interests me enough to buy something from that site.

I don't want to state the obvious but this blog is about making Mooney Online, so how can Mr Moo be money obsessed ? :roll:

2xKnight · 2 years ago

Yeah he was a bit abrasive, but I looked forward to the responses. *L*

The crap comments to get on the sidebar list is a bit much though. :roll:

Allyn Paul · 2 years ago

I am one who asked Israel to stop with the weak, 4-word comments because it was obvious and annoying for him to basically spam as a way to get into the sidebar.
Either way, Cow, the reason he has not commented much recently is that he had emergency surgery to remove his appendix...when he got out of the hospital, he came here and commented on every post he'd missed to regain his spot in the sidebar. sad sad

Mike Huang · 2 years ago

The cow is finally showing his tough side :) WAY TO GO!! Spammers and rude people deserve to get banned.

ajacx · 2 years ago

ehehe..good for him la..ehehe

ajacx · 2 years ago

anyway,,,i check your pr... the tools said you have page rank 3 !! good for you

bmunch · 2 years ago

Thanks for the heads up on the Ban plugin. I love this quote:

"It even allows you to writeup a full landingpage in HTML especially designed for your favorite trolls!"

Oh cow, you are providing "premium content" to you trolls, how about us, the regular people.

Any way we can see the screenshot of the customized landing page for the newly banned troll, Israel? :wink:

Tomer · 2 years ago

John, very sorry. I thought this was the johnCHOW.com site and I posted the comment while thinking it was the other site [which has all the ads] - so I didn't really notice the lack of ads cause I just remembered from last time...

my bad :)

PinoyTech · 2 years ago

@Cow - Won't other bloggers be blocked if they use the same IP address? I am talking from a point where I was using internet cards which gives me a shared IP with many others.

The Rookie · 2 years ago

I agree with you on this one 100% Cow. Way to not take crap from anyone.

Neil Duckett · 2 years ago

That's a seriously confusing apology Tomer. ! You've lost me. :???:

soundofgold · 2 years ago

Dealing with an "unpleasant" comments is really quite hard. On one side you would love to be tolerant and not take someones freedom to speak away and just let them scream they BS out loud and ignore them. But at times that is really superhard and swift action needs to be taken. I think you have decided well.

sven · 2 years ago

this one was too funny. So what are you going to do about it? :twisted:

30 Day Man · 2 years ago

I've noticed Israel's posts on a few of the top name blogs, didnt realise he was stirring the pot so much.

Can understand your frustration Cow, but the post brings more attention to Israel and his site - something I think he was trying to achieve in the first place!! (Unless this was an evil plan between you two to drum up some press both ways?) :)

bloggernoob · 2 years ago

me likes. the guy's an ass. he offered to pay me one dollar to review his blog. looks like a rejected extra from "prison break"

bloggernoob · 2 years ago

looks like he's not banned. i see his fat mug on ur commentators list

SasaVtec · 2 years ago

@ bloggernoob - It's okay day or two maybe few hours when the rest of the world wakes up he will be off that list.

John Cow · 2 years ago

30Dayman, it's the last bit of attention he is getting so we hope he's happy with it :)

Hustle Strategy · 2 years ago

Wow, interesting. If you want to guest host Isreal, I can do it for you.

Start Blogging · 2 years ago

You can't please all the people all the time. You'll always have those who are just bitter that you've come up with a better idea before them.

Allyn Paul · 2 years ago

@ Bloggernoob-- Extra on Prison Break! LOL, ROFL!
Too funny. He's the guy who would be buying drugs from T-Bag! LOL :razz:

Edgar · 2 years ago

LOL .. its funny how he talks smack on Johnchow but yet he has a TTZ Logo :mrgreen:

Money Blue Book · 2 years ago

Odd....perhaps he was link baiting? Sometimes, bad publicity is better than no publicity.

Money Blue Book · 2 years ago

Hmmm...on second thought...obviously a mutually agreed ploy for publicity...nice colaboration Mr. Cow...pretty clever though! :smile:

The fact you provided him a link gave it away at the end! :eek:

A man's gota do what a man's gota do. it's your site and you are of course well within your rights. Smell ya later fatman !

James · 2 years ago

You ban because you can, but if you think it's a solution then think again.

ajacx · 2 years ago

that cow really gave me some inspiration to go on for blogging !!

ZingWat - Make Money Online · 2 years ago

Well, I absolutely love the site now. I'm definitely subscribing and book marking this one. Keep up the good work guys.

Bloggeries · 2 years ago

Good riddens. I have people like that on my forum. At first you don't want to turn anyone away but people like that keep good people from participating with a fear of backlash. If it was just for backlinks I"m sure he's trolling some other blog right now!

Yebot · 2 years ago

Nasty! (<- this is not commentSpam. I'm just sayin ... "NASTY!!!")
