... For calling someone a moron.

Jeez, disproportionate retribution much?

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻ · 2011-06-14 12:03:48

On which forum

GuyInWhite · 2011-06-14 12:04:11

Tvtropes.

MillerCross · 2011-06-14 12:06:20

Link to the context?

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻ · 2011-06-14 12:07:42

Oh if it's TvTropes it might be because of certain history.

GuyInWhite · 2011-06-14 12:07:49

I think the post I made was thumped.

Basically someone on the Video Games forum called the Wii's Virtual Console "overpriced."

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻ · 2011-06-14 12:11:07

Arr.

Khwarizmi · 2011-06-14 12:12:17

Personal attacks are against the rules, you've been thumped repeatedly in the past, not seeing what's so surprising, sorry.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-06-14 12:12:52

Yeah, I figure this is more of a "straw that broke the camel's back" situation.

GuyInWhite · 2011-06-14 12:12:53

Welp, time to change my IP address and register a new account.

MillerCross · 2011-06-14 12:14:28

And you told us, including a TvT mod because...?

GuyInWhite · 2011-06-14 12:16:39

I dunno. I really just want to discuss video games and Magic: the Gathering with my online friends. Being cut off from an online community I've been participating in for a while is rather jarring, and I'm not going to just sit back and take it.

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻ · 2011-06-14 12:16:45

Well he has done it before (as in, the telling part) if he is the same person we think he is.

Nova · 2011-06-14 12:17:18

Because he wishes to be banned here too?

As apparently he's forgotten that we get to screen people here before they can join the site.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-06-14 12:17:46

-facepalms-

GuyInWhite · 2011-06-14 12:17:53

I haven't done anything ban-worthy here.

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻ · 2011-06-14 12:18:11

What has he done here in particular right now so far that should get him banned?

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-06-14 12:19:53

Actually, you've broken the rules quite a few times; it was just before we really started enforcing them.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-14 12:20:40

...haven't you ban-evaded before?

HOLY SHIT I"VE BEEN NINJAD

MillerCross · 2011-06-14 12:21:18

If you want your ban lifted, then appeal your ban, but ban evading will only lead to a fullblown google ban.

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻ · 2011-06-14 12:22:22

-still breaking the rules-

(even though it's in easily ignored ways)

SotiCoto · 2011-06-14 12:22:44

This isn't the import of drama, is it?

>_>

And what is a "google ban"?

ColorPrinter · 2011-06-14 12:23:58

It's when you get redirected to Google when you try to go to TVTropes.

MillerCross · 2011-06-14 12:24:03

Eddie casts away some people via redirecting their IPs to google. So, instead of going to TvT, you go to...Google. You can't see the site as a whole, in other words.

Nova · 2011-06-14 12:24:10

This is the importation of drama, yes.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-06-14 12:24:21

I'm thinking it is.

And a "Google Ban" is where if you try to access TV Tropes, you get Google instead.

Holy shit, triple ninja'd.

GuyInWhite · 2011-06-14 12:25:15

In that case, just lock the thread. I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm just saying I don't really think it's fair.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-14 12:25:41

I got like ninja'd by 5 posts, at least.

ColorPrinter · 2011-06-14 12:26:49

It's a personal attack and if I'm correct in interpreting what the other people here are saying, other things in the past as well. Please, tell us how that wasn't "fair".

GuyInWhite · 2011-06-14 12:28:53

It's not fair because I was given no warning. 99% of my posts are normal and being banned for the 1% that show up when I'm in a bad mood is just unfair.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-14 12:31:01

I'll be open here, and tell you that you have a record of being overly emphatic and overreactive to things.

Howdy, Stranger!
