That was me, genius.
You can take the mod out of the troll but you can't take the troll out of the mod.

And this small community with it's large number of serial harassers.

I noticed it a lot when I had a view behind the curtain. The way you would all pick people to pile on and drive away. The quiet vendettas on people with grudges, like fm says, " That means spamming pictures of people, harassing them for reasons completely unrelated to the thread, and the general circle jerk of bullying a few members for kicks. "

I've seen Lowing subject to this, that one guy who burned his face, the patterns of the same few people reporting the same few people.

It is the number one reason why I have largely lost interest in this site and have stepped back and away.

So you went out of your way to troll us, got trolled back and then didn't like what you saw?

i beg to differ Mek - shitfy is not trolling. imo he is socially deficient and trying to hard to be accepted. the 'trying to hard' part is what rails everyone.

Holy shit it's like you're reading my mind.

I lol'd.

I regular another forum where everyone is nice to another, it's a tech forum so that works out fine, the forum is fine for discussing tech but it has NO PERSONALITY.

Making everyone friends and everything rainbow coloured here would kill the personality and make BF2s boring.

Besides, when you break someone down it builds up his character (unless he cracks, then goes to shoot up his school).

But some 'couples' just hijack every thread with their personal rantings and insults at each other. When its done with humour and you know they just joking with each other its not a problem.

You're pathetic ATG, you're an old man with nothing better to do than sit behind his computer and control a forum. Shut the fuck up and get the fuck back to your anti America D&ST threads, cunt.

don't know how many have received vacations but there are several just in this thread that fit the criteria. Long live the teenage mindset.

I agree with the general idea of the thread, I just find it ironic you are the one who decided to make it after calling me a "Prick" the day before the date it was written.

Edit: Maybe if you led by example and said you were just as to blame people might follow suit and we could all move on for 3 weeks or however long the new found harmony would last.

For the sake of the argument I'll let this roll as a perfect example of the very behaviour described in the OP ...

These kind of posts are the root of the evil we are trying to adress, excessive douchebaggery ... if you have no clue what I'm talking about I suggest you take a good look at rule #1 one more time ...

Banned for being a dick. See, it's easy. We'll just have to weed out the jerks one by one.

I've considered this thread for a few hours now and all i put this down to is mod boredom, i guess there isn't much else to do anymore now the community reduced in severe numbers quite some time ago, all thats left to do now is sanitise the remaining few and propose totalitarian rules and wrap these apparently 'helpless' members in cotton wool.

I don't see why you can't leave things well alone and just deal with the actual problems on an individual basis, instead of giving everyone a verbal warning and just to remind us who is boss. But anyway, you'll continue to AWM and ban until no one exists to post... And then what shall you do?

You may very well have an opinion, just leave out calling people cunts, retards etc etc and you'll be okay

I know I will be okay with you egg, but unfortunately mods are human and open to mistakes, bad moods, etc. Some more than others I guess.

I think you're missing the point, if I'm honest.

I mean, casually calling each other "pricks" "cunts" "ass" doesn't seem to be the problem. I know FM doesn't want to use an example in his OP, but the amount of shit sh1fty gets without even saying a word is simply amazing. Like yesterday, when people just spammed pics of him in EE Chats. And when Cam's condom pics were posted after every post of his when it was completely irrelevant.

Quite frankly, it's annoying, old and boring.

I'm all for calling people out when they make retarded posts, and let's face it, shifty makes quite a few. Flame his posts, I don't care - hell I'll probably join in. But spamming pictures of him in threads that are completely irrelevant is, quite frankly, low and pathetic.

I might be misunderstanding here, but I believe this is the background/idea behind the thread.

Well maybe it's both yours and my examples, I don't think Prick is a casual insult though, but anyway.

I wasn't here for what you're talking about so maybe that is what sparked it. I agree sh1fty should only be flamed when he says something, well... sh1fty-like.

fuck that. i feel we will always have censorship, but one should be able to express one's self.

I actually don't like swearing. I've found the only times I do it is when I have nothing else to say and I'm in an EE thread. Believe you me, I shall curse to high heaven when appropriate.

A mod called me stupid in DST, I called him a dick in response and end up getting banned for 3 weeks. That was pretty abusive IMO.
