Right, we HAVE to talk about this

[Zenien]

We think that? thanks for telling us what we think. While you're at it why don't you invent some other reasons to justify what you're doing.

 

[The Evolutionist]

No, but they will no longer have their own personal stomping ground.

What about those of us who actually want to discuss games? Are we up **** creek because the powers that be aren't willing to take the time to figure out how to handle a handful of posters, who wouldn't even be NOTICED in community?

 

[GFreeman]

So you're changing your reasons now? Ok. Well, how exactly do you think that we think we're above hype rules? I mean, if you guys would just send out a memo every time you change and reinterpret them, it would probably clear most of that up.

In a word, yes. A few are ruining it for the majority, it sucks...I know. But maybe you should try blaming those few instead of us. We have tried everything else.

 

[GFreeman]

I think most people are smart enough to know that "those few" aren't the ones responsible Matt. So that strategy isn't going to work either

 

[The Evolutionist]

No, Matt, you haven't. Did you try learning about us before you came in here and changed things, like Drakon did?

 

[Matt]

No, Matt, you haven't. Did you try learning about us before you came in here and changed things, like Drakon did?

Actually, I did try. The fact is, you guys think you are somehow above the rules of the Hype because you are "Tight knit" and part of the "Game subculutre." If we saw this kind of behavior in the Batman forum or SUperman forum there would be mass bannings. You guys are not above them or different from them.

 

[GFreeman]

"You guys"? Is The Evolutionist in the GR crew now, because he disagreed with you? Because I've never even seen the guy before today. This is exactly what I'm talking about

 

[Jerry!]

Does anyone honestly believe that the spamming would stop? Does anyone believe that would actually happen?

 

[GFreeman]

People are dumb enough to think that deletion won't just spread it around, so anything is possible I guess. They might believe that.

Matt, you may have a reason to dislike some of the people here, but don't accuse me of breaking rules when I haven't. Whatever group you're talking about, I'm not a part of them. I've been nothing but reasonable in this debate, and to my knowledge, I haven't broken a single Hype rule in years.

The fact is that most forums here have posters that break the rules just as much as people here do without being banned. Most of the violations are either relatively minor, or the party in question have been banned already

 

[Jerry!]

So then it is more than just a message board to you Freeman? If you care about it that much to bring this **** into other forums on the Hype?

 

[The Evolutionist]

Hate to say, but unless you're the reincarnation of someone, the fact is that you haven't been around long enough to have seen me. As I said earlier, I've been extremely busy over the past 8 months to a year, so I'm not around as much.

 

[Matt]

He is DTR.

 

[GFreeman]

I'm a reincarnation

And yes Jerry, this is more than a forum to me because I made the suggestion that certain users would do certain things in other forums in their spare time. That practically makes it my life's center piece.

Exactly. And the problem here is that isn't possible in some cases. Suggest another way, please, because I don't want the forum to be closed either.

Oh, you're him. Then you were around here before me, but I think most of my time here was during your absence. Not to say that I was ever an extremely prominent member.

 

[GFreeman]

DontThisRead?

 

[The Evolutionist]

Exactly. And the problem here is that isn't possible in some cases. Suggest another way, please, because I don't want the forum to be closed either.

I haven't heard of or seen anything that would get the posters who have been put forward as "ban-proof" banned in most of the other forums, so I don't actually feel the need to put forth another solution.

 

[Jerry!]

Apparently they can't get IP banned. You can keep banning their accounts, but all they need to do is make another one. They can't permanently get rid of them.

 

[GFreeman]

The only way I couldn't get IP banned would be if Matt was too incompetent to figure out how to do it. I'm not using a proxy, I'm using the same ISP that I was using the last time they banned me like a year ago, and I'm pretty sure my dsl isn't exactly getting me a new IP every 30 seconds either. The "they can't get IP banned" stuff is just a steaming load from Matt.

 

[GFreeman]

So hilarious I had to do it.

You mother****ing terrorists are sullying my good name by holding everyone hostage while disguised as me, this is unacceptable! I demand you release us at once!

 

[Zenien]

Well we're heading out to Cloverfield, have fun guys.

So? No one is denying that the GR posters are the ones who drove the forum to this.

Yes the GR does deserve blame here. But to be fair, the mods deserve just as much blame. Despite what you may say, no mod took the proper amount of time to know this place and how it is. In my opinion this place needs a mod from within the Games Forum, someone who has always posted regularly and has a decent amount of respect from both the GR and non-GR posters.
