Trâm Phạm, what did this guy ever do to you?
@
smirking: he was from Hanoi because he couldnt find any job here after
working in any place for a day and got kick from people!
I gave him a job now and never get any thanks from him but lot of annoying! I know very clear about him. Just give me time to write a post abt him!

He is a troll, or a autism, or mentally ill ?!?!?! @@!
I fell this man is so danger. >"< Kick him out of VN plz T_T
I fell this man is so danger. >"< Kick him out of VN plz T_T
@ Tram:
his posts on the Hanoi forum seem to be 3 months old. Is he still active
on that forum? Or did he live in Hanoi first and then move to Saigon 3
months ago to torture our poor souls her in the South of Vietnam?
@heyde: dont judge a book by its cover! You should spend more time with him:) we have nothing to save you guys from him!
Heyde,
whatever your experience with Joey (or whatever his name is) might be
(positive or negative), it is definitely NOT OKAY for a member of this
website to create FAKE PROFILES. It is undermining the safety of other
members and there are clear regulations for that!!!
And it is also NOT OKAY for members to spam the forums. And with all due respect, there can be very little doubt that he is spamming the forum. And the number of people he is annoying with his immature behaviour is by all means growing every second!

@Heyde:
Some of us are the real witness for what he has done. We all experienced
spending time with him, and what could we have back? Nothing for sure!
If you spend more time with him on here, you will find that he is really
such a spammer, and a jerk (for sure a jerk!). I know something about
the story between him and his gf in Vietnam. And I also know the reason
why he has to move to Binh Thanh and stay there. And we are so tired of
him... We also don't want him to spoil our community anymore...
I hope that will be enough for you to understand about our problem. You can look down to the lower posts to see how he spams around...

Hi, all I
remember is Joey Arnold . 1985. Just report everything to the police
about that name! I will write my experience abt hime soon!
The cheaper, the better.
Right now, I am paying around $2.000.000 VND / month money for a room
and that includes the cost for electricity, water, drinking water,
kitchen, parking. My room is in district Binh Thanh. I want to find a
cheaper room somewhere, somehow.I would like to find a trade. i want to
find a cheap room, or as cheap as possible. The cheaper, the better.
Bob?!?!?! Is that you
Dan/Joey, etc.? For your own safety dear fellow Couchsurfers be very
careful with CS members whose profile is not complete (no picture, no
references, no information at all!!!). I'm not entirely sure, but Bob
Max might be a person who calls himself Dan, Joey (and many other
names). Please read the post below:
Leave people alone Joey, Dan, or whatever your f*** real name is!!! So far you have had at least 3-4 different CS profiles with several different names which is definitely violating the rules of this community. There is a reason why CS headquarters keeps deleting your profiles! Because you keep putting up fake profiles and you are spamming the forums of this community!
Therefore you must be considered a security threat for the Couchsurfing community (and your pointless blablabla must certainly also be considered a threat to the mental sanity of every reasonable living being on this planet)!
Stop creating new profiles! It is violating CS guidelines and rules! CS deleted your profiles for a reason!
And stop posting bullshit on this (or any other) CS forum.
If you are so desperate for attention, go to your bathroom mirror and start talking to yourself. If you listen very carefully (provided that you are actually able to LISTEN, because so far you have managed simply to ignore any kind of advice or concern from this community), you might even notice how much nonsense your mouth is actually capable of producing!!!
Stop pestering people!!!!!!

Hope nobody get hurt again
from him like me:(. Im looking for a day he is kicked out of VN. You
know! He is scared of coming back to The US because people there gave
him lots of shit:)))
Once, he showed me his passport because I was agreed that he doesnt have any human kills. So, having a pasapport means he is a human, haha! So stupid!

@Tram Pham: not only you for sure! Lots of people got stuck in this situation... And I am also looking for that day.
Well he himself said that he had 30 Facebook accounts, so when I blocked one of his Facebook thing, he used another one to message me around. Gosh!!
I did some email sending to some CS ambassadors, and it seems like he spends 24 hours on here creating profiles and spamming around.
I don't know how to make a new difference. So I guess it's just time to ignore him.
The more we ignore, the useless he is. And he will probably stop. That's what I've learnt!
So I hope you guys know how to deal with him now.
Let's try to ignore him?

How about we write a warning
message to raise awareness about the "Joey"-problem in the Saigon-CS
group and post it once a day to make "new" people aware of the problem?
This way we don't have to compose a new message all the time, but we can
just copy/paste the message. Just an idea ... If you have a better idea
please share ;)
Hi guys,
He knows that he is terrible and dangerous so he doesnt use his name to post anything here! It will be nice that you guy can watch him and warn people in any posts of him. I will try to write a post to tell you my story about him here. Aslo, did you guy see a post from a girl in HN about him! I think I should ask those people join to SG couchsurfing too!

Right now, they are having a group on here, which is showing a black list of the bad CSers on here.
But it doesn't seem having any guy right now.
So his name can be the 1st name of the list.
I have been having some emails of him spamming around, and I probably can provide those emails for you as the evidences here.
And... I don't know if we should make a Facebook page for him as a 'popular guy' of CS...
What do you think?

Tram,
You mentioned above that you have seen his passport?! So what is his actual name? Would be good to know, just in case anybody gets in trouble with him!
I also think that it would be good if you guys can share your experience with him here on the forum (as long as it's not too private or uncomfortable for you) so that other members can paint a better picture of this weirdo.
Sure, why not a facebook page/black list. Though since he is changing his stupid name all the time, it's kinda hard to make a list and one might question the usefulness of such a list since he is changing his name/profile all the time. but it's worth a try.
Anyway, I will write a general warning message tomorrow which we can re-post every day to make people aware of the problem and to look out for posts by empty profiles which have just recently been created.
Btw: I kinda like Austin's idea: make sure that he never gets a VN visa ever again ;)

Some people on Couch Surfing
(CS) are mean. I am posting these things on my public blogs on the
internet. This is the evidence. I post very simple things. Phuc Bui is
harassing me. CS is compromising on their own integrity. I am just
looking for restaurants to eat at. I am also looking for room for rent. I
am also looking for a laptop and a really cool phone & bike.

I like helping others. I love teaching English. I like asking people
questions to learn.
I am looking for a Room For Rent, laptop, phone, visa, bicycle, students to teach, restaurants to eat at with free water, parking, wifi. I want to play basketball, karaoke, sports, games, playing guitar, piano, and other things with people.

I need to
learn more Vietnamese. Fresco on NTMK has free parking & water.
When I go to restaurants, when I see things I don't like, I prefer
leaving. I just don't want to be too disrespectful. That is why I try
avoiding trying out new cafes or restaurants. But I got to try more
places. There are so many cafes in this city. I am not sure if I can try
them all.
Highland Coffee is not too bad. Any places with free parking, water, and wifi. It is also a question of how much food and drinks cost. I also do not like paying taxes at places. I usually go where there are no visual taxes.
I will continue to learn more Vietnamese, so I can better read the signs & ask around. I will try to share my discoveries with others. I am open to suggestions, questions, advice, hints.

people alone Joey, Dan, or whatever your f*** real name is!!! So far you

you keep putting up fake profiles and you are spamming the forums of

It's just not all about English here in this page.
Please read the reason why CS appears here.
It's not about learning English or having English center and inviting people to come and learn, but it's all about traveling and meeting people, guys!
Just to let you know about it!

Hi.
We'll be staying in Ho Chi Minh for a night in August 19 before we head

Dorm types / backpacker hostels are okay since we are on a very tight
budget. Thank you!

The person/ account member I want to mention here is Original Oatmeal Joey Arnold who have posted many nonsense topics and stupid spammed replies.
His profile: http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=5GVYSQ4BP
As you guys may know about his activities recently. He seems not to understand the human language at all since keeping asking the same questions.
To my understanding, he is trying to get attention from us to get help/ support/ sympathy since repeating the same chore: I only have $400, I am American. Wow ! such an American !~
Do you guys know any mode in this web CS to report his account as a spam?!
We are not a charity fund or a social free information center. Kick him out of the group~
We may give the warning to all members not to reply his questions !
For a safer and helpful CS community (as usual)
THide replies
he's a troll, i'm pretty sure he's enjoying all the attention and simply takes please in being annoying. Sadly, CS updated the web site some months ago and they didn't do a very good job, leaving the service susceptible to spam like that.
The best thing to do is for everybody to completely ignore him, and if he gets no attention, he'll go away (...and probably find some other people to annoy)
I've seen Oatmeal Arnold post something similar quite a few months ago. Guess he really does love Vietnam. But honestly guy... Vietnam has no place for you. Only visitors who can contribute or appreciate its beauty. Respect its laws and policies and just follow procedure and maybe they'll grant you another visa.
I want to travel the world. A school told me they would hire me. I came to Vietnam but the school did not hire me. Now I am in Saigon looking for work. I will figure things out. I am not annoying. I am not spam. I will get back on my feet again. Things will get better. I will not give up in life. I just want to travel the world and help others and make people laugh and smile with one Original Oatmeal at a time.
Couch Surfing illegally deleted my account and profile on their website. I gave CF $20 USD and I want my money back. I will sue them. I am very angry. I was not given any real warnings about anything that I did wrong. I did not do anything wrong. I did not violate any rules on CF. This website did not give me any warnings.

I got pretty fired up after reading this thread---here are my thoughts on it.
Y'know, for a social community that prides itself on being inclusive and welcoming, I'm getting a very different vibe here.
It seems that CS talks a good game, but the reservoir of goodwill kind of dries up when the rubber hits the road.
Joey seems like a nice enough fellow, (you youtube video is weirdly hilarious--I'm getting a definite early Peter Jackson vibe here...any "Bad Taste" fans out there...no?)
He doesn't seem to have threatened anyone, or been cruel, a jerk, or a bad host--y'know stuff that would matter.
His capital crime seems to have been having bad social skills, not picking up on cues, and being repetitive.
In this department I have nothing but sympathy and empathy for the guy---being notoriously hit-or-miss in my own social interactions in my misspent youth....actually the jury's still out if I really mastered the seldom mentioned but quite important art of socialization.
Speaking for myself and any other social retards out there, I think it's pretty lame how Joey got nailed to the wall because he's a bit annoying and "not cool." I can tell you that it's not an easy go in life if you're not socially adept, and it probably doesn't do much too help the situation, when you get publicly humiliated on a forum after you try to reach out.
Talk about kicking a man when he's down.
The "mean girls in High school" impression isn't really a very open-minded or pleasant way to deal with those who are different.
It's become verboten to pick on people of different races religions or sexual orientations...heck, even nerds have experienced a sudden respectability and 'not cool to made fun of' status. but tragically it's still open-season on people who are awkward or not all that good in playing it cool.
We need a new PR guy.
But, I figure we're all flawed human beings and all deserving of getting some slack cut for our own foibles.
Over-wrought moral summarizing statement time
Isn't there a little "Joey oatmeal" in all of us??
@ Ryan Coleman:
I wasn't gonna respond on this topic anymore, but well, here's my thoughts: A number of people (including myself) genuinely tried to help this guy out - he was rude, ignorant and selfish. Zero appreciation for the people offering help. Only constant demands to give him the answer he wants and feels he's somehow entitled to because he's american.
The CS community is open and inclusive, but does that mean we need to tolerate racism and close-mindedness? I would say absolutely not and since he doesn't seem to posses any bit of good manners nor does he seem to have any interest in true involvement in the community (all his posts are all about him), i'd say this is not a community for him.
I appreciated CS for a long time before it became a commercial web site. Now they turned into a business and more and more users like this guy, who are much better fit on twitter or myspace, are trying to rudely butt into CS.
yes - it's a welcoming community - but it's a community of 'give and get' - and if somebody's only looking to demand more for themselves and offers nothing, not even a 'thank you' in return - it's not a community for them.
that's my thoughts.
Thanks Matt D, I totally agree with your opinion~For you guys reference, all of his nonsense posts/ threads have been deleted so far, and you guys experience no stupid comments/threads (uh, oh, nice, I paid $20...) All problems just about HIS problems. Indeed, he may share on his FB or another locations.Dont jump into conclusion when you just read this thread.I dont say thay he is not a talented guy, everyone has their own capability, I respect that,
But as long as you dont respect the whole community (here is Couchsurfing), you will definitely be kicked out of the human beings group~
I will not delete this thread.
Trang
I did click on his Fb last time when trying to define who this nerd truely is. Saw that he has many vietnamese friends who are also trying to help him with his visa. They help him, provide him information/ procedures, after getting no response from him but his same continous demands/ questions, they start to get mad~
Not sure its good to share this truth but sadly we Vietnamese (in general) have disease of "white people admiration". We are just the same, bad ones, good ones everywhere and trying to get fit~
if he is just a guy with bad social skills this thread is not a nice thing.
if he is a troll then this thread will make him post more. The worst thing you can do about a troll is to pay attention to him and especially argue because of him.
In either case this thread should not be continued.If somebody is annoyed by his repetitive posts and lack of good manners he can leave him a negative reference stating this: that's what reference feature is for. Creating a thread about this is not a good idea because of reasons pointed above.Repetitive posts should be flagged and deleted by admins, not answered with anger (again the same reasons as above apply).
I agree with Matt's opinion. I think everyone here was quite tolerant and helpful at the first sight, but Joey seemed not to care about what people advised.He was all about himself and his visa drama. And he posted too many threads with the same thing. Personally I don't like him (i just felt he was trying to advertise himself and his social networks - by the most stupid way of course), and in general, anyone who was trying to help him realized he had some problems (not only bad social skills but annoying attitude) finally. In my opinion, it's necessary for the community to warn other members about some not-nice people in the site, because maybe they will host/meet those people once day and instead of having a nice time, all may become the pain in the ass.Ryan had his point, but he didn't know the real situation and made Trang upset.I just wanna say everyone has his own opinion, and has right to like or dislike someone, but when you join a community (I refer CS), make good things for others, I mean Trang was right to start this thread to warn people about that guy. Too many people wasted their time for him, and it was the time to tell them the truth.
Ryan Coleman, you a fan of Star Wars? I do like Peter Jackson. There is a bit of Oatmeal in all of us.I am in Saigon now and things do seem better down here. I like asking a bunch of people many questions so I can compare answers. I am not proud of my youtube videos. i want to be the next Will Smith. I might be getting a 3 month single entry Vietnam tourist visa extension at chi Cafe in Saigon for $42 USD. I might be signing a work contract Thursday with a school. Maybe they will take care of my visa.
dear Trang,
I agree with you on the inferiority complex that a lot of people have (interesting matter would like to discuss this some day with more people).But I don't see how this is relevant now. You come across as an intelligent person, don't you think its better just to ignore him rather than using these strong words. Obviously in they eyes of many he lacks social competence but that should not be the reason to get this angry. He contacted me as well, several times.
Dear Joey, the fact that a lot of people within the couch surfing society perceive your behavior as unpleasant (euphemism) should make you think about it..
good luck and love to all!
@Abdullah ratt
It seems that you are an intelligent person so that you keep quiet & ignore things like that? Not me !
As I told before & Bien Nguyen's recent post, I do not stand still here for him to mess up with this Hanoi Group~
Dont get me wrong, i am not angry at all. I know what I do & what I talk/ write here.
Have fun ~

Tons of people love me. A few bullies come up to me and tell me that I am not likable.New Star in Bac Ninh, Vietnam and Muong Museum in Hoa Binh told me I suck.Doctors said when I was 6 years old that I would never pass the 6th grade.I ended up doing years of college at a bunch of schools.I do not lack social skills.I know how to reinvent the social world.I just don't follow the politically correct social rules.People think I am crazy for thinking outside of the box.Like Taco Bell, think outside the bun and have fun having it your way, good to the last drop or your money back.
@Matt: you should unsubscribe from Hanoi group. Actually I always unsubscribe from any group I join, so I don't have too many emails in my inbox.BTW, I think everyone should ignore Joey if they feel annoyed by him. After I read that he needed to see doctors when he was a child, I think I should have been more tolerant.
Be happy folks!
You can change your email settings on Couch Surfing. I use Google Email and have my CS emails automatically sent to certain CS folders that I make. I try my best to be organized in life because you will always run into annoying things and people no matter where you go in life. Unfortunately, people spend their whole life trying to run.
