Just as a heads-up: Cygan and I are mods now.

All Nines

^^^^^ I agree. A permanent ban might be damaging. But at the same time, the spiteful dogpiling has happened enough now that new consequences might be in order to change things. Like, say, temporary bans, to start with.

^ Please tell me you're joking.

Vorpy

Nah, Nyarly is just trying to be edgy and shocking, and failing.

Stormtroper

I agree about the mods being too soft, as well.

Hypocrisy +1

Nyarly

^^ Considering that people who desperately try to appear dark and edgy are mostly idiots, I consider that an insult.

It may absolutely crush your little mind, but there is a reason why they got banned from TV Tropes. And they didn't learn at all from this. Hell, Chagen seems to be even worse than before.

Granted, saying that people should be more mean to them was too much. After all, it would only make them worse...

This thread's putting a bit too much torque on its rails.

All Nines

^^ I was going to call you out, but you acknowledged the issue in your ninja edit. Just keep it in mind when posting yourself. You're mean enough to Chagen already.

Vorpy

^^ Considering that people who desperately try to appear dark and edgy are mostly idiots, I consider that an insult.

That WAS an insult. Be offended.


Then what do you think you should stop dooooing? A little edge to your speak is okay, so far, with the way you have been going recently it's starting to lose its.....-glasses- edge, and now it's becoming more of a T2H action for you when being used everywhere in excessive amounts.

MillerCross

This is a vicious circle. Chagen and Tnu are our most problematic posters...and our reaction to our most problematic posters (Or anyone who's more problematic than the...norm, around here) is to lash out even harder.

Two things: I think that the staff has to realize when a poster won't change his way and ban him straight to hell. But not without a warning.

This reminds me, have they both be warned? Or at least...has someone been warned?

Vorpy

I have been warned for wondershowzen in February. That's about it.

Chagen

Okay, if I'm the most problematic, I'm surprised. I'm no MFE. And I can contibute to good discussion.

Though most of the time, my calm debating comes after the violent arguing...

Vorpy

Try to emulate LouieW more often and realize that generalizations, strawmen and overdramatic victimization tend to piss us off, and it has for the past couple threads you have made about religion and the like.

Stormtroper

^^^^ This is the only personal warning(s) I've seen.

Look, I'm there!

Nyarly

Then what do you think you should stop dooooing?

Stop coming here. But as I said so often, for some reason, I can't part. It was fine for a while, but now everything seems to come down. Again. And I just know that I will relax soon, only to be fed up again with this worthless excuse of a forum (which got much worse, when it started to become a magnet for TV Tropes bannees).

I once had the idea to get myself banned. I fear that's the only thing that would make me finally leave. But considering how soft the moderation here is, that doesn't even seem to be possible even if I insult everyone here in every post.

MillerCross

Okay, if I'm the most problematic, I'm surprised. 

...you're shitting me, right? Dude...have you seen any of the threads you have made in the history of ever?

No, really...have you? 

And not only that, but the moment someone brings a dissenting opinion is the moment you start attacking the poster and his beliefs like nobody's bussiness. Now, I won't say that your opponents are enlightened or whatever, but you cause them to attack...the fact that they take the bait is not good either and I consider it as equally bad, but the fact that you put the bait there is equally wrong.

And what Vorpy said.

Vorpy

Oh, that was in April, my bad.

All Nines

^^^ If you want to leave that badly, I can ask an admin if we could just ban you by request or something.

@ Chuggles: Protip: Don't post when you're really fired up/in an overdramatic mood. It seems to make you more prone to faulty, inflammatory arguing. I'm not sure if that's what you're doing, but in any case it wouldn't help. Generally, just cut down on the snark and stuff.

Vorpy

+1 vote to Mercykillban Nyarly to put him out of his misery....before he turns.

MillerCross

+1 vote to nuke Nyarly from orbit...it's the only way to be sure.

Nyarly

I know, I should be thankful for your "support", but for some reason I want to stay regardless, since Vorpy (and probably many more) probably greatly dislikes me and my presence is the best way to annoy them I still feel a strange affection for this place, even though I insult it pretty much every time, I mention it. I don't know why that is. But it reminds me a lot of Conspiracy-Theorist-In-My-Training-Group, who is so annoying that I happily would like to smash his skull in most of the time, but whom I somehow still like in a strange way.

But at least I should take a break every once in a while. I waste too much time, that could be used for more productive things (like playing video games), here anyway.

Vorpy

Okay

Nova

Oi. Enough with that, Vorpy.

┻━┻ ︵ ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻

I'm kinda late, but if I had mod powers on this site, I would screw around with certain posts, like making Chagen's more sensible so that people go all "zomg wtf happen to u" and then just letting him do his thing for them to be all "oh nevermind he's back to normal sigh" for the lulz.

Nova

You have no idea how much that tempts me, Edmania.

Bob

Why, why, why does that mental image crack me up?

Vorpy

Do it anyway.

(and also, nobody actually editted any of my posts)

AHR

That is why I could never be a mod. I'd edit posts with a --AHR was here lol-- 

Cygan was here --lol--

GMH was here --lol--

Everest was here --lol--

Nova

>_>

<_<

Nyarly

^^ Funny, I'm sure that a while ago, there was no second line...

Central Avenue

^^^ Why make it hard on yourself? Just install a new add-on to the forum that adds "--AHR was here lol--" to the end of every single post. Including your own!

Nyarly

^^^^ ...And I'm pretty sure that there wasn't a third line either. But now there is. Mysterious...
