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 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 his complicated relationship with SBM and its staff.

To date, MDPP has only been known to reappear on either site once since early 2019, when he attempted to make a comeback to SBM in mid-June 2023. Though he attempted to grossly misrepresent and brush off his past during his reappearance, his return would be short-lived, as the public protests of several cross-site members would result in MDPP finally being banned from SBM shortly thereafter.

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 three months later once his identity was uncovered. He has since made a few attempts to troll the SBC Discord in spite of his ban, sending messages to random members.

• WhaleBlubber - An infamous member of TV.com's Spongebob forum.

In 2012, he denied (by email to SpongeSebastian) being present for any of these, and has not been heard from since.
