Q23 - This is what happens when your admin isn't me.

Once you've gotten in that habit, it's not easy to break (nor does there seem to be much of a point).

--Dave

Apart from pissing everyone else off.

All of my many annoying mannerisms, and *that* is the one that tickles your ragey bone?

[Soln]

The Elemental thread there is beyond epic and worthy of shoving into a time capsule.

[Comstar]

Do they have a bloodbowl league and if so can we have a tournament between us and them?

[Sheepherder]

 

[Sheepherder]

Either that, or his definition of irreconcilable differences is "I really, really, want to ban that person."  Thanks guys, this shit is comedy gold!

[Sjofn]

That is delicious. I mean I get the not wanting people to post FOR other people once they've been banned, because that is obnoxious, but it's still funny to read.

[Arthur_Parker]

Also he signs his posts which I've always been very suspicious about.

It's a common habit for people who started out with Usenet in the early 90's.  Back then, the conventions were those of a correspondence, rather than a conversation.  And once you've gotten in that habit, it's not easy to break (nor does there seem to be much of a point).

You could look at it as I've gotten in the habit of making fun of it since the Century of the Fruitbat and it's not easy to break

It's obnoxious here, but here you normally need to be retarded, ignore whichever mod it is threatening to pull the car over until you get temp banned, and then log on as a sockpuppet to call Trippy a faggot to actually get permabanned, and at that point not many are going to be rushing to your defense because you very blatantly dug the fucking hole you're in.

Qt3, on the other hand appears to be a complete fucking shitshow orchestrated by one man who fancies himself to be far more magnanimous than he actually is.

[Ironwood]

Yeah, that got me too.  It's like AP had planned this YEARS ago.

[Hutch]

He should have signed it 

[schild]

The response made it for me.

[Lantyssa]

I hope it's Kildorn!

No comment.

[Der Helm]

This is getting me through the SWTOR downtime, thanks a lot for that. I have 5 tabs open trying to piece together the whole story and fail badly. But it is great entertainment.

[Arthur_Parker]

He should have signed it 

I hate you, because I didn't think of it.  He still might ban me though.

[Margalis]

Tom Chick has always struck me as somewhat deranged. IIRC he hated No More Heroes - ok, whatever, that's his prerogative. But the reason why he hated it was that he was INCREDIBLY OFFENDED that the game made fun of gamers. (In his mind)

Like, super super offended. Now, it's obvious to any sane human being that the people who made No More Heroes are in fact video game developers making a game for video game players and probably don't hate video games and their players. The game poked a little good-natured fun at gamers and Otakus in a way that was really self-deprecating humor given that the makers are those same gamers and Otakus. It takes an incredibly humorless and warped person to be incredibly offended by that.

It's like if Abagadro was all "Parks and Recreations is the worst TV show of all time and I find it's depiction of government highly offensive on a personal level!"

And of course Chick has no problem blasting the hell out of things he doesn't like. Very typical fragile-egoed bully.

Forum moderators are mostly high-tech school bus drivers. They wield incredibly inconsequential power like petty dictators.

Edit: It's kind of like the old saying that fights in academics are so bitter because the stakes are so low.

I knew it! 


Is the crazy still going over there? I would look but I have to take my cat to the vet in a few minutes.

[bhodi]

How many "I have dropped a glass of water on the floor" posts have there been in that thread so far?

[Yegolev]

I bet he doesn't even look at usernames when he's on banning sprees.

I don't know, based on the surprise in the community over who was banned (also history) I could conclude that he does look, if only to check if it's someone inside his circle.

Tom Chick has always struck me as somewhat deranged.

I agree with your analysis.

[shiznitz]

Yeah, that got me too.  It's like AP had planned this YEARS ago.

He got banned for that, I guess.  He isn't in the member list any more.

[Paelos]

I get this image in my head when I hear an admin bitching about bannings:

I get this one:

So that's what all you guys look like...... 

[Ironwood]

Why, you smelling lucrative dental work contracts ?

 

[Lakov_Sanite]

I never really think of the admins here as admins. not in the traditional sense.  Most forum admins are like the Q23 guy where they will come down and smite like a wrathful god. Green names here are more like grouchy bartenders whose main rule is "Don't be a complete cockbag" and will generally be easy going about things.

Granted I've never actually tried trolling here(laugh it up! my posts are all genuine, even if they might seem otherwise) but it takes a good amount of effort to get banned here, where other forums  ^ I've seen people banned for literally saying "I don't think this site is as good as it used to be" and other such nonsense.

btw whatever happened to boog?

[Reg]

I think Boog was banned in like the first week of F13.

[Arthur_Parker]

Took two posts, I was going to leave it, but he really did seem to be in danger of disappearing up his own arse.

You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

[Paelos]

Its hard for me to grasp how someone would want to moderate a forum while simultaneously not wanting to participate in the forum.

Boog wasn't banned until 2009, if ever.  http://forums.f13.net/index.php?action=profile;u=217

He just thought Schild was a douche and wanted no part of things when Joe handed-off the site.  He disappeared off the internet for a while in 2008, prompting Pika to actually call his house wondering if he was OK.   He went back to corp for a while then disappeared again, only to come out of retirement for Lum's forums for a whopping 7 posts.  http://brokenforum.com/index.php?members/boogaleeboo.247/

If you really want to find him, he's probably still in the #hate IRC channel, as that's what that crew were really about.   The forums were only used when a member wasn't able to get to IRC but had 'net access.

[MahrinSkel]

For crying out loud, just shut the damned things down if you don't want to foot the bill for a bitchfest and you're thin-skinned.  Turning baiting you into a sport only works if you're getting paid for it (see SA).

--Dave

[Paelos]

I wonder if Schild has ever thought of F13 as his living room?

[Ingmar]

He wishes his living room had us to class it up.

Oh man that thread was fucking hilarious. I loved Boog but completely agreed with Schild's ban, he was trolling 90% of his posts even if he was funny with it. He was funny but he wasn't really a constructive poster and when half your posts are about the new people running the site, well... I had never bothered to read Q23 at all and this guy's position seems to boil down to, "Well so-and-so was a reasonable poster with valid points but ultimately they voiced criticisms of me so they had to go." He sounds like the kind of dick that invites a bunch of people over to his house for drinks and then stands up and screams that one of his friend's of friend's has to get out now because they made a joke about how Stella's a crappy beer to be serving people. Yeah it's your house and some guy's making jokes/criticisms about your generosity but if they're not being a dick doing it then, even if it's your right to kick them out, it doesn't stop you being a cunt for making a scene over it.

Sadly I don't think he can ban me from a site I've never been to, maybe I should register and repost this so he can feel better?

Checking a few of Boog's posts on Lum's forums brought me to this particularly interesting conjunction of posters.
