He keeps doing that on the 4x4Forum.
He was TaunB
Then joined as...
WD40, Alta & BotsBob. It is suspected he is currently there as Shebeen.
Fortunately, our admin and one or two of our members watch him, so we'll know when he pops up here...

I hear he keeps reappearing on that Forum like a bad trash.
Clearly psychotic.
But that Forum is like Fly Paper to Psychos.
Ian will be here soon to comment.

Yeah. I'm one the psychos - but I do it more to be miserable to other people...
Seriously though, I have an aversion to unethical people.

I have no problem with guys being on both Platforms, many of our members, like Paul, Woolf, Erin etc. visit both.
But there are those who need to move on....

Have never gave any attention to this Taun oke. In all his aliases he has never started any thread that were in my line of interest.
However I find it very interesting that he keeps on trying. The way he scams people and all these fakery will cost him some time or another.
Then I am one of those psychos still posting on the other forum. Most posts related trying to help someone regarding technical stuff or vehicle specific threads.
Getting older I am really not bothered with what people drive, do or say.
Unfortunately even on this forum are guys that I call thread or post killers. One sometimes try your best to start a thread or comment on a post and immediately the short piepie cavalry charge in with their always bigger and better comments.
Give it to Manny he started a few very good initiatives for example his Trail Master idea. I would love to see some sort of 4x4 Rating behind a forum members name. This will make it so much easier to know what the level of experience a forum member are before replying on his comments.

All Forums have such people, it is not much of a problem here, in fact it happens very seldom - probably because we are;
a) smaller
b) have a very narrow spread of topics we allow.
Yes, it is more of an issue on the 4xForum, but they are bigger & have a wider spread of topics, but even there, it is not as bad as some other Forums.
I joined the MyBB Forum whilst researching back-up power systems & replacing SLA batteries in UPS's, Gate Motors & Alarm systems with LiFePo4 batteries.
I got all the info I needed there (far more accurate than the info on this subject on the 4xForum).
BUT!!! That place is a cesspool of offended, woke, Karen Troll keyboard warriors.

Little IT Nerds trying to be grown up. I eventually left.

Good idea, I have asked IanDVL (Ian, Slayer of Dragons, Driver of Patrols, Consumer of Beers, Master Cnut & IT wizard) to look into it.
Michael, when he set up the Forum,, did include ranks, but there was an issue & we disabled it.
We will get back to you.

For those who don't know, Taun was arrested due to a Mike Bolhuis investigation a month or so ago, but was released on bail.
He was arrested again on Friday, on a seperate matter (falisifying a PoP apparently) & spent the weekend in jail.
So, as we all predicted, it caught up with him...

Maybe we should pay somebody to catch up with him on a terminal basis. That guy is a pox on society.
He's defrauded DOZENS on the cycling forums. Also apparently tried on one of the adventure bike forums.
