I've heard that kind of thing before. When I was twelve and picked on by bullies. Let me just say that I HATED bullies at school and I tolerate them no better now in my 20s.

No-one deserves to be bullied, I'd just like to put that out there.

Now Burnzz has a point, you don't want people coming in and messing up a conversation. I'm afraid to say you only really have one option - ignore them. The thread/conversation dosn't get thrown off by one person, it's people responding to that person. I don't see how the kind of things you guys talk about can be thrown off so easily by one or two people if you just ignore them. FM's right, these problems have a way of solving themselves.

I definitely see where you're coming from with the bullying point, but if you think back to when you were in situations where you were bullied, you'll find that you were trapped, and probably wanted nothing more than to escape the situation. That's certainly how it was for me in early elementary school.

The difference is that in bullying situations, people are often picking on people less fortunate than them for personal gain. The person being picked on has done nothing to deserve it. However, the BF2s community has worked fine without such people, which should point that the problem is the underdogs, and not the cool kids.

BF2s will die without FNG's, you bf2s are killing them when you can simply ignore them and every once in awhile give them a punch in the face to set them straight not this "Fuck off" "Leave this thread" or "die" crap

holy shit

some of you really need to step back from your fucking monitors and find a fucking hobby

yes pace51 is annoying as fuck, yes he's a troll, yes he can get on people's nerves... but who fucking cares. i'm not one to typically agree with FM, but fucking IGNORE HIM. if he really is a troll account like you all accuse him of being, then all you're doing by responding to any of his posts is just fueling him even further. it's like trying to put out a fire by dumping gasoline on it.

seriously, some of you posting 3 paragraph posts on how bad pace51 is? really? not only is it juvenile but it's downright pathetic

i've managed to go the past 2 years here with just 1 24 hour ban and very few AWMs. it's really, really not too fucking hard

Burden of proof is on proving they are breaking forum rules. Unless you want the us to start judging people on how much they benefit the forum.

So you're saying that bullying should work?
Bullying comes in many forms, it's not just schoolyard stuff. Take for instance my own mother, who was bullied out of the teaching by her superiors for doing things differently. She created her own resources, taught in her own way, was universally loved by her students, (a table collapsing from the weight of the gifts they got her when she left seemed to proove that,) but she rubbed the management the wrong way. They just didn't like her and made sure to pester and bully her out of the teaching profession entirely. But no, you're right, if someone disturbes the status quo it's totally their fault and it's their duty to leave to preserve it.

You have the ability! Scroll past! Ignore quotes with him in! Change the subject!

How is this hard to understand?! Oh man, I can agree with this, now:

The big problem with telling people to ignore pace is that if someone doesn't ignore him, it creates an incident.

And as stated before, telling people to ignore his threads doesn't work either because his shitty spam threads bump down threads someone might actually want to read, and most people don't read beyond the first page so these potentially good threads are killed by pace's shitty ones.
