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 [[Homie|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

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.

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.

(''Main article: [[Third SBC Renaissance#SBC fallout]]'')


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.
* '''ssj4gogita4''' - One of the leading admins of SpongeBuddy Mania, as well as a former SBC admin (2012-2014) in his own right. Originally respected by members of both sites for many years, ssj gained a great deal of notoriety among SBC members for his widely-panned involvement in the [[Third SBC Renaissance]]; see [[Third SBC Renaissance#SBM fallout|here]] for more details.
 
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 [[Homie|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.

* '''[[crushingmayhem]]''' - Another friend of Metal Snake, and a TV.com veteran, who was also suspended from SBC in June 2018 due to his complacency in the creation of the Metalgate document. Currently, he exists on SBC in a state of "limbo", only allowed to post on the forums.

* '''[[Elastic Dog]]''' - While not considered a very controversial member during much of his time on the site, Elastic has been viewed in hindsight as one of SBC's most aggressive regulars of the 2010s, and was officially banned in 2019 after making a series of bigoted comments.


* '''spongebranch''' - An unusually aggressive migrant member who was banned from SBC in early 2019, and SBM the year before, for constantly attacking other members. Since his ban from both sites, he has reportedly been accused of sexual harassment in other communities.

* '''[[Person]]''' - A member who had received much hate and controversy from other users. He [[Nautical Nonsense Section Fights 2011|constantly fought]] with [[Fa]], [[Metal Snake]], and [[Jjsthekid]]. He also started many fights on the Xat and during Jeopardy. He was banned from Jeopardy forever after an [[SpongeBob Jeopardy!|incident during Round #10]]. Afterwards, he would appear on SBC less, and after January 2015, would not be seen again until summer 2018. At this point, he was banned from the Discord after making several disturbing sexual comments.

* '''[[WhaleBlubber]]''' - An infamous member of TV.com's Spongebob forum. Despite the fact that his only relevant actions were in attacking SBC and TV.com through a series of sock accounts in early 2011, Whale became the "boogeyman" of SBC's early days, due to several community regulars using his name to pull pranks on the site. In 2012, he denied (by email to [[SpongeSebastian]]) being present for any of these, and has not been heard from since.


* '''[[Mart Cartman]]''' - He is known for constantly spamming forums about his Anytown Show. He is banned from SBC, SBM, Toon Zone, and much more. He also made multiple accounts on many websites.
