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.

All you need to know about Geldon is he forecast WoW would crash and burn because it was too casual. If you want to stare into the abyss an old repost is located at this link. |

I mean, I vaguely know OF Geldon. But I've only read a handful of things he's written (and I will probably go to your link, and then hate myself for it, but KEEP READING IT), and each and every one has made me sort of wish I could smack someone through the internet. It's amazing.

The best part of this Q23 stuff is how he adopts this incredibly passive-aggressive attitude of either asking people to leave or banning them then wailing about how said he was that he just had to ban them for the terrible crime of pointing out that he just banned 3 other people for no real reason. Trying to put an extremely logical and understanding veneer over actions that obviously stem from emotional retardation.
I've read a couple forums like this where the moderation is set up to encourage sycophancy, usually getting banned myself at some point.
I don't really get the appeal of the guy in the first place. Most of his stuff is pure click-bait and most reviews he does are specifically given to him by people who want a game savaged since that's kind of his schtick. And most of his negative reviews these days are just variations on "I'm too dumb to grasp this game."

All you need to know about Geldon is in that one line on Lum's.
"Hey guys lol at everything! We should all talk about me for a bit! I'm probably the most important poster in this thread now."

No, though both use other people's forums as their personal blogs. |

Do you have any of mine? There are some law and games bits that I no longer possess. At one point, Bartle was using one as a reading assignment for a class. I have been meaning to spam him with other stuff in that vein. |

Naw, Geldon is more of the self-aware self-loathing type with a lot of self-importance/I am a smart guy, really! added in. I used to troll the shit out of him for assuming he was an expert on a subject because he had read an article/book on it. Man, I was a real asshole to him at times. I almost feel bad about it, but lolinternet, I guess. |

No, though both use other people's forums as their personal blogs. Hyu is mediocre or telemediocrity or some variation of that. He's more of a troll who likes to get a rise out of people, and forum trolling is his entertainment. Geldon is a sad, sad person. He was the guy that got canned from a CSR job for posting on a forum too much, and just all around seems to be the stereotypical internet shut in type with limited social skills. He used to be just annoying, but he turned into writing long winded posts about anything that were essentially the blog posts of a sad person.... and also posting immediately, then editing whatever folderol he posted after a few people had responded to him. I found the guy exceptionally annoying, but you also feel kind of sorry for him. |

I have everything from the last 10 years of fora\sites I worked for. If you want I can dig it all out and get your articles for you. |

He cleverly orchestrated this all to steal all of the Q23 notables for his own forum projects, of course he would escape the backlash.

A forum you frequent where people you know and like is disintegrating because the person who technically owns it was secretly a douchebag waiting to settle a number of old grudges, real or imagined, all along. So yeah, the weird vibes you're getting is entirely understandable.
I laugh because I don't have a dog in this fight, with the occasional twinge of feeling sorry for you poor bastards who have been kicked out or forced to choose. You? I bet the entire fucking thing makes you sick to your stomach.

I really just don't get it.
A forum is a community. You don't own a community. At best, you own the recreation center where the community gathers.
I've danced on the razor's edge a couple times and finally just gave up on trying to explain to Tom how he is making people feel.
Now I'd just settle for an end to unseemly gloating and attacks on posters no longer present to defend themselves.

Hey, when someone flames out or ragequits, there should probably be a mandatory mocking period.
When the admin returns from a ragequit with an inaccurate hit list and sweeps out a whole chunk of folks...that's different.

Except not so secret. Like being a douchebag is kind of his whole gimmick. This is a guy who banned people over and argument over The Hurt Locker lol. |

I thought you were referring to Brad Wardell. Who, as an excellent specimen of the common internet cumbucket, is indeed trampling the dead.
Tom Chick? Yeah, I've got no explanation. I can't even get my own life sorted out, but I'm pretty sure if I suffered in exile a three month rage boner for someone that upon my eventual return I'd go completely fucking night of the long knives on the right fucking people.
