Guest CED Ordonez Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 In light of the sudden influx of bannings due to spam postings, I'd like to say, from a user's point of view, dammit, it's not even funny anymore. Stop it. Use some intellectual thought for about a month before you post something completely irrelevant and get yourself banned. Sure, we'll still hate you, but at least you fucking contributed something worthwhile before getting yourself chucked.
Guest crandamaniac Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 Use some intellectual thought for about a month before you post something completely irrelevant and get yourself banned. Why stop at a month? I mean if you're going to post intelligent points, then by all means post intelligent thoughts. Me (and I'm sure the other posters will agree with me here) don't come here for posts that say "YOUR MOMMA SUXORS MY DIX LOL!!!!!1!!!". If you got something good to say, say it, if not, just leave this freakin' board and stop wasting the bandwidth
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 I'm mad because they kept me from my plan of having my own gimmick poster at 4000 posts. Bastards, I was really looking forward to that too. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest crandamaniac Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 Yeah, gimmick posters suck anyway, and anybody who makes one is a loser..... *Remembers Metal Ted* umm....well look at the time, better run!
Guest DrTom Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 Trolls suck, but what I fail to grasp is why they keep coming back once they've been banned. I've never been banned from a bulletin board, but if I ever were, I wouldn't keep coming back with different screen names, plaguing the moderating staff and the other posters. For chrissakes, it's a goddamn message board on the fucking internet. If you got kicked off, there was a good reason for it, and you should take it like a fucking man and move on.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 (imagines a father-son talk) Father: Now son, if you're ever a little annoying bastard on a messageboard and get banned, what do you do? Son: Um... come back and try to get revenge? Father: No, you don't come back for revenge. You take the banning like a man and leave the board alone. Son: Come back and get revenge? Father: But you'll never get revenge if you get banned again. Son: Come back and get revenge? (Father smacks the kid around a bit at this point) And that was the birth of the first Internet troll. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest Incandenza Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 I'm thinking DDT's Brain is about tied with Smarkzone in bannings/attempted comebacks.

A troll's only purpose is to annoy people, and start fights. When they come back time after time, they annoy you. The best way to defeat a troll is ignoration. Most trolls aren't men yet, so they don't know better.

The best way to defeat a troll is ignoration. Most trolls aren't men yet, so they don't know better. True. I just can't get into the mindset where my only purpose in going somewhere is to annoy people. I guess I just don't have that desperate need for the attention of strangers. If more people ignored the trolls, I do think we'd have fewer of them, but I've made that case before, and it didn't go anywhere. People still respond all the time, so the troll keeps responding until he gets banned. Then he comes back, and the cycle repeats. See that, folks? Another voice advocating that trolls are ignored until they're banned.
Guest goodhelmet Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 i think you bring up a good point alina. trolls should be ignored BUT then you have 30 different posters responding to said troll until he becomes the most dominant figure on the message board. i think it would also help if people didn't start up 3000 "why was so and so banned" threads. our moderators have done a great job of keeping most trash off the board and if they ban someone, there is no reason to question the decision.

That statement is only partially true. If you did something do deserve getting banned, then you do know it. But in austin420's case I saw nothing that he did wrong.

I agree totally with you. The regular posters should just ignore them. All the mods (except Jingus, and his silly fight callout) did a good job of exterminating the trolls in quick time.
Guest DrTom Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 But in austin420's case I saw nothing that he did wrong. Hmmmm... ::banned-poster-returning-under-a-new-name sense going off::
Guest Leena Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 I've sensed that with every poster under 10 posts, that is aware of the events here.

I've been banned from two boards. WDI. I got banned for that Ghey Invasion and I've since been unbanned and welcomed back. DDT. I got banned because I was friend's with Downhome.
Guest heyyo Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 Go Away Heyyo. Now that was the smartest flame I have ever heard. Please great Jedi Master, please train me in your great ways of the flame.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 I wasn't flaming you. This isn't DDT where everyone is obsessed with "Verbal Warfare". The marority of people on this board get along, hell most of us are even "Friends". You know what friends are right? The thing your mom always tells you that you'll have someday, along with hair in certain places?
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 Can I flame him if he tries to beef with me? Please? Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 Go ahead! Look at that racist shit he posted!
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 Aw, I can't flame racists. They're already parodies of themselves. I meant if he just does something simple like cursing us out. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 I know. But It's fun to get a couple shots in.
Guest MrRant Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 Yeah the Brain showed up at SmarkTalk and was promptly banned.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted October 6, 2002 Report Posted October 6, 2002 Goddamn post whores. Not as bad as Ken though, who I'm using the FINAL RESORT~! on in General Chat. WARNING: It gets a wee bit graphic, and if he continues, it will get worse. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest evenflowDDT Posted October 6, 2002 Report Posted October 6, 2002 FINAL RESORT~! ?! What thread?
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 6, 2002 Report Posted October 6, 2002 The locked one with the banned poster in GC.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted October 7, 2002 Report Posted October 7, 2002 I want that Kurt Cobain loser banned.
