    This thread may get closed but I thought everyone should be aware.

    They can be identified by:

    1) Vulgar troll-speak
    2) "New Member" status

      Its funny
      that forum mods are more engrossed in closing threads
      Rather than banning simsguru trolls or IP banning em

      If you're new, or you've been offline for awhile or you're not expecting it then it's an easy mistake to make.

      We are working hard to fix the forums, it appears that the IP ban is frivolous. Many people unfortunately can get past these IP bans, we really need to find a better solution. We plan to hire new moderators, as it seems the ones we have now are clearly not enough to keep up with the trolls as of late.

      such as this one

      I'm surprised they allow anyone to have "guru" in their name.

      I never believe anything SimGurus say as long as their profiles say "New Member". Also,REAL SimGurus have a green outline around their profile pics if I remember correctly.

      Well in all honesty
      The fake gurus actually connect with the players
      Even though they instill false hope that the problem is being looked at...(when in actuality its not)

      And it goes to show how the real, genuine gurus are so detached from the community

      Remember folks: A real SimGuru, even if they have a small post count, their ranks below the post count will read: Sim Guru. Don't fall for the fakes.

      It appears that IP banning does not work.

      ok, if you are a 'Guru' how come I haven't been banned yet?

      sim gurus have green around their posts

      interesting how these simgurus have popped up after an infamous troll was banned

      hmmm

      the danger is some people have already believed they were EA staff

      Why don't they just restrict anyone from creating a username with the word SimGuru in it, unless given special permission, for example an actual SimGuru?

      But whatever, these guys are fun to laugh at. >:)

      The Guru's don't seem to be able to catch the little buggers so easily. It's like playing Whack A Mole. wp923cae72.gif

      The mods are around when it comes around to the heated arguments but I think they enjoy leaning back in their chairs for a good laugh. They might be reading these fake gurus threads and be saying - man i love this guy.
