Controversial Users

Not everyone on The Spongebob Community is a nice person. There are trolls, spammers, and other generally controversial users who threaten the site and even the users. Be warned, as they don't seem to listen when people tell them to leave, and the best thing to do is report and ignore them instead of fighting back.

Major Active Users

Hayden

A long-time member who, despite his constant levels of aggression, remained on SBC for many years. His presence on the site was the catalyst of numerous incidents, including the Metalgate scandal, which resulted in the bans of several other members. Hayden was known to be combative and controlling, be it pressuring other members into watching pieces of media he enjoyed, attempting to manipulate then-friend jjsthekid into swinging certain events to his favor, or posting disturbing comments toward certain female SBC members.

After years of complaints, Hayden was permabanned from SBC in August 2020 for harassing Cha and Kylie. He later snuck back into the site under the name DrenchedOtter in August 2021, but was banned again two months later once his identity was uncovered. He has since made attempts to troll the SBC Discord in spite of his ban, sending messages to random members

Major Inactive Users

Mr. Dr. Professor Patrick

(Main article: Third SBC Renaissance)

Originally a veteran member of SpongeBuddy Mania with a history dating back to the mid-2000s, MDPP joined SBC soon after its formation as a standalone site, and quickly became an integral member of the staff. In seven years as a member of the site, he would be responsible for much of SBC's programming works and under-the-hood management, even as other staff members came and went over the years. In this time, he also developed increasingly strong bonds with the rest of the community, while maintaining a functional, if contentious working relationship with the other staff.

Despite being well-respected by much of the site throughout his tenure, MDPP's reputation collapsed in late June 2018, after details of his real-life manipulative relationship with a then-underaged SBC member were revealed to the community. The resulting fallout (the Third SBC Renaissance) ended with his forced departure and permaban from SBC, and the assumption by JCM of all technical duties for the site, as well as the reignition of the SBM/SBC Feud, due to the fact that he was unbanned on SBM by ssj (see below) under the alternate name "Bianca". He remains unbanned on SBM to this day, but reportedly has not appeared since 2019.

One of the leading admins of SpongeBuddy Mania, as well as a former SBC admin (2012-2014) in his own right, ssj was, like MDPP, similarly respected by members of both sites for many years. To this day, he remains an active poster and manager on SBM, having taken on more and more duties with the site as other admins have gone inactive or reduced their roles overall.

Three weeks after MDPP's removal from both sites, and the bans of both Spongetron Robotpants and Cream (see below) on SBM by then-moderator Trophy, ssj similarly turned the vast majority of the community, including staff members, against himself by posting a widely-panned SBM thread in which he stated the belief that both MDPP and Kylie (his victim and former partner) should have been banned from the site. In December 2018, any hope of recovery from the damage was lost when ssj banned many cross-site members (including former SBM moderators Aya and HawkbitAlpha) for continuing to protest his actions, and he continues to forcibly silence any mention of the scandal on SBM to this day.

WhaleBlubber

Arguably the ultimate "boogeyman" of SBC's early days, WhaleBlubber was originally an infamous member of TV.com's Spongebob forum. He made multiple accounts with undersea creature-based names and frequently insulted other users, resulting in him being repeatedly banned. In July 2009, it was claimed that fellow TV.com user Spongebobs1fan had been hacked by Whale, although the claim was never verified. Throughout 2010, Whale would escalate his aggression toward SBC in particular through a series of sock accounts on both the forums and Xat, causing several members to be banned along with him. He was alleged to have returned on February 6th, 2011 when he hacked the SBC xat. He then said next week he would hack SBC, and followed through with the threat on February 13th, 2011, he did, after which he would not be seen by the site again.

Well into 2011, several users impersonated WhaleBlubber, but the real one never returned. In July 2012, this would be confirmed when Whale told SpongeSebastian in an email that all of the Xat appearances were not in fact him, but a member trying to play on the other members' absolute fear of him. He also claimed he has retired from trolling. Whale has had no contact with SBC since, and his whereabouts are unknown.
