I don't think this is Kyle. Check the profile. LeCentriste/VonHagNDaz has been around for a while. I assume it's an honest FUBAR rather than a deliberate attack.

Looks like its a spoof of LeCentriste/VonHagNDaz, If you click on the profile icon in the actual post, it links to a new profile entry that is iself corrupted by the name (only the superscript H is visible - the "LeCentrist" part is missing). In the actual post the user name is HLeCentrist...
The Bio link seems to have been corrected, except that in the new CPHog stuff, the pop-up bio shows H-VonHagendaz as an "aka" name, whatever that means. When I first lookd this was all messed up, only the picture was the same.
All classic Kyle behavior: User name spoof, html attack. The guy should be permanently banished.

425 posts over 9mo, if this is a spoof he's gone a long time without being caught.
There's a 2nd LeCenteriste profile so it could be possible, and both've been used concurrently, but I'm amazed at how long he got away with it since both profiles have been active concurrently.

No, it appears to be as you said, just an unintentional FUBAR caused by playing with html in the user name Link[^]
VonHagendaz and LeCentriste would appear to be different people.

Not a big deal. There was a sandalwood smuggler called Veerappan in the forests of Karnataka in India who had been elusive hard-to-catch bandit for three state special task police for more than ten years till he was shot sometime about two years back.
He had a virtual empire setup in the forest with latest communication gadgets installed all over. The only thing he missed was closed circuit TV surveillance to see if cops are entering the jungles or did he also have that?

It's not Kyle.

Yeah, just a Kyle wannabe (at least from the standpoint of feeling a need to play HTML games with his user name). He could at least have done his testing on his profile blog, rather than corrupt a forum.

Of course, the easy solution is to eliminate the ability to use any kind of markup in the user name...

Yes. I agree that getting rid of markups in the user name can be a step in the right direction.

I was trying create an account for my friend and succeded in that. Then I logged into his account done some changes in profile. After logging out from his account, I tried to login to my account. CP behaved very cruely to me telling that my accounts doesn't exist. I opened another window and tried CP home page. That gives me this error..!! What is happening ?

What do you think if we can see name of voters to our messages or other messages?
|
|
|
|
|
That would defeat the purpose of voting right? 
|

That will never happen because of the relative immaturity of most internet users. Chris correctly assumes that revenge voting would happen at such a high level that it would render the voting even more pointless than it already is.

And worser than street-fights.
Normally any voting is in-camera (secret) right?

I said voter name because do you remember you asnwered to an OP on the C++ forum and your answer was correct but you got low vote and you said why I got low vote.

It already is. The error you see is the ASP engine dying.

Hey Chris!
When a message is removed after being voted down etc, maybe a link to the bad message would be nice.
Sometimes I just want to know what all the hub-bub was about that got it removed. I feel all empty inside when all I see is "Message Removed", but can still see the messages after that. It's like reading playboy without the pictures.

That would boost the encouragement of the spammer in that he feels confident that his message is not removed and is always there. Isn't it?
Perhaps a category called 'Quarantine' canbe created and a permalink be created there. But then, should CP waste bandwidth and storage space for all these craps.

Hello,
In point 6 of the FAQ there is the "Noise level" explaint.
I guess the "Message score threshold" was meant.
Which brings me to the next point:
"Message score threshold " is very difficult to understand for non nativ english speakers, I guess. (I have no better solution myself)
Was there really the need for this setting (off course there was, otherwise you wouldn't have implement it), or let's just say I also could sleep well if this is fixed to '1'. (Ohh, its '1.0' which is also confusing)
All the best,
Martin
