If that is true, then I think Hamma is wrong to have banned Squeeky on the basis of defending himself. Someone posts my address and I'll have their ass, but Squeek settled for subtle pokes here and there.

And all Squeeky did was call a somewhat clever "BS Flag" on Stry on his post.

Squeeky has succeeded in making you think he was the victim in all this. It's what he does...

I've said this before, I'll say it again.

The problem with Squeeky is that he is an insensitive, attention-hungry and immature person. He loves being the center of attention and achieves this by offending people (such as in my case, I would love to post the logs of some of the pages and pages of insults he sent me regarding my deceased mother) and he also achieves this by doing things that are shocking, and immature. Stuff that makes people go "omg wtf?!".

He didn't care whether the attention he got was positive or negative. And negative attention is much easier to accomplish. He was worthless to the community other than for the occasional laugh. Otherwise he was being a complete fucktard, and the community doesn't need that.

I for one am very happy he is gone. I hate the little bastards guts (as many of you IRC regulars well know). PSU will remain much the same now that he is gone (you know, all that PNSNDABUT stuff in IRC

) but without all of the offensive and annoying shit Squeeky contributed. He simply got what was coming to him.

So, basically, fuck the petition, GOOD JOB HAMMA!

Okay, let me reword and sum up my last post so that you people who apparently don't realize what a blessing this ban was, can get a better sense of the grand picture.

1. Squeeky is, or was I should say, a whinny, self absorbed, attention seeking asshat.
2. You are defending an asshat.
3. This makes you personally seem like an asshat.
4. Saying that spamming, and insulting people is a vital part of the community makes you seem like an idiot.
5. To sum it all up, you seem, or are, an idiot, defending an asshat, while making yourself look like one as well.

I just found it too.

keaoi · 2004-05-05, 10:26 AM

Reguardless of how you found it, posting it yourself (as I assume what happened) is wrong. Im sure you could do the same to me it you were motivated to do so.

Squeeky may have brought the ban upon himself by attacking Hamma, but I feel that his post about you wasnt warrented to provoke a warning of that intensity.

I use alot of forums, and I see the "I know a developer" post alot. He called a BS Flag, as would I had I been motivated enough. Hamma warned him and accused him of starting shit, which:

A) Even though these are Hamma's boards, should have been resolved threw PMs.
B) Wasnt really starting shit, cause even without his post, I dont believe you have an "old friend with da hookup". It was a funny BS Flag. One I'm fairly certain was warrented threw truth.

And I dont think Squeeky was a victim, he got himeself banned. But Hamma's measures against his "innocent enough" post were extreme. It would have cause the same reaction in just about anyone.

I have no probelms with anyone here at this community. But posting someone's personal information, even if it was as easy as you say, was wrong. Editing his posts, and fscking with his IRC channels? A No-no. Hamma wasted server space defending someone who does things like that, and my previously high level of respect for you abolished. That may not mean anything to you, but it's really sad for me.

But I will go threw his last few posts to see if I can make a believer out of myself yet.

::Nods::
Ouroboros is correct. If you haven't been in IRC regularly, you really don't know Squeeky. Before I ever made a habit of going into IRC, I never had a problem with Squeeky, and actually found the links he posted occasionally to be interesting. However, once I started going on IRC I realized what an immature attention-loving prick he is. This became a hundred times worse once he found out that my mother died of cancer. I mentioned this in IRC because he had been insulting my parents and I, in my misguided way, mentioned this fact in the hope that he would realize it was a sensitive subject for me and back off. I obviously didn't know Squeeky very well at this point.

Instead of backing off, he made a point of spamming me with insults regarding my mother until I became furious and struck back at him verbally. He loved it, and just kept pushing my buttons. I was too angry to realize it at the time, but he was doing it all just to provoke a response. Eventually I learned not to grace his insults with the kind of response he wanted (though they still angered me). He did this all because he felt like he was toying with me, and used it to boost his ego, which was drowning in low self-esteem.

We don't need that crap here at PSU. I love this website because I can talk PlanetSide (which is currently my favorite game) or I can talk about just about any other FPS or computer game with you guys, and its a lot of fun. The IRC channel is always entertaining as well, and also has its intellectual moments (mainly when Dharkbayne isnt in the channel, no offense DB

) We've talked about religion, politics, programming, military, you name it. There have really been some amazing and informative conversations in IRC, mixed in with the hilarity that some of the guys provide (if you regular PSU IRC, you know the people I'm talking about

) Squeeky did nothing to contribute to any of the intelligent conversations, and his "funny" comments usually stepped over a line. I'll say it again, I think Hamma made a great decision in banning Squeeky.

keaoi · 2004-05-05, 10:44 AM

I retract almost everything I said (the posting of personal information is ALWAYS a no-no, and I hope a board rule evolved from that.)

I just noticed the name of that picture, and a few of his recent posts. GG Hamma.

Guest · 2004-05-05, 10:55 AM

Ok, you've all expressed your opinions in my banning. But i know Hamma pretty well, and these plea's will fall on deaf ears. As they should. I brought the ban on myself. I backed Hamma into a corner, and i basically said "Ban me, or you will be contradicting yourself". Dont go after Hamma for banning me, go after me for banning myself. I wouldnt have said what i said if i didnt want to be banned. But i need to take some time off PSU. Some of you knew the Squeeky from 9-12 months ago. Well, alot has changed in 1 year. I started getting mixed up with alchohol, i started having sex with 20 year olds, i was thrown in juvenille hall twice, i got dumped by 2 different girls who i cared about alot. My real life is hell right now. I'm on probation, i'm severely depressed (as hard as it is for some of you to believe, it's true) and i'm just a huge mess. That's why i changed. Making a petition wont bring me back, the only thing that will bring me back (As my old self, the nice guy) will be a good 6 months (or as Hamma saw fit, 2 years). So, if PSU is still running in 2 years (i have every faith that with the support of this community, it will be), then you will see me back. I wont however come back if i havent cleaned up my real life. Because thats when i'm an asshole.

As for Strygun, well, Strygun is someone who is easily trolled. And i played off that. There were some minor conflicts when we we're staff, but Hamma told us to quit being immature little pricks and suck it up. I was retired from the staff (Note: not fired, Hamma made that very clear) and i left AGN shortly after. As for {BOHICA} + -CDL-. Meh, i have nothing against them. But they have everything against me, and rightfuly so. I was a fucking jackass to BOHICA, and burned my bridges with CDL. BTW, Whether or not my address can be easily found via google, doesnt give you the right to post it. I tryed a bunch of different search strings for my address, and couldnt find it. I did not post my address, i merely posted an image of a package i received with the address blurred out. Strygun thought it would be nice to post my address. Well, it wasnt cool. Whatever, i'm not trying to make myself out to be the fucking pope here. I was an ass, and i'm still an ass. The time off from PSU will do me some good. And it will probably do PSU some good.

I'm the victim of my own actions. I brought the ban on myself, and it seems to me some of you dont realize that. I got some things off my chest that we're eating away at me for a long time. Whatever, now i'm rambling. I will leave by saying that i love you all, and that if you hate my guts and wish you could sodomize me with a red hot fire porker, that i understand.

Also, alot of people seem to be playing both sides of the field. Some saying "Squeeky was kind of annoying, i didnt really like him". And then posting on another forum "I hated that little prick, i wanna gouge his eyeballs out and eat them". Grow a pair of balls and quit trying to play both sides of the field, you hate me, admit it.

My webcam is up, and i dont know if Hamma will keep it on the PSU page. Regardless, i will continue to update it for you guys. See you guys in 2 years.

If you wanna chit chat, hit me up on AIM. PSU Squeeky

My latest webcam image

Ps. This is my second account. It will be banned too. I just used this account so i could put out one last final word before i left for 2 years. To Hamma: I know you probably wanna sodomize me with that firepoker, and purge this post, but all i'm asking is that you dont delete this post.

ViperGTS · 2004-05-05, 11:07 AM

Wow...

Electrofreak · 2004-05-05, 11:10 AM

Fuck that shit Squeeky. I've had a lot of bad shit happen too, and you don't see me being a complete cock. Your excuses mean nothing. I pity you not.

I wonder when you will ever learn that you are getting banned and kicked and hated because you ARE bringing all this shit upon yourself. Are you too stupid to realize that being an asshole generally results in this happening? Or do you just not care? Either way, don't play the victim, you DID bring all this shit on yourself because of your behavior, and now your reap the consequences. Stop your crying about it and DEAL with it. Goodbye Squeeky, and GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE.

Hamma · 2004-05-05, 11:12 AM

Ok, I'm not going to respond directly about what led me to this banning, 90% of it took place out of view of the public. I'm also not going to remove the post he made after evading his ban. It took allot of strength to make a post like that and I respect him for it.

I will say however that Strygun does have a "hookup" and he wasn't bs'ing in his post. I have taken action against both parties on numerous occasions, and I still respect both parties. I hope that Squeeky does come back as his normal self the Squeeky I knew when this community started was a much better more respectful man than the current Squeeky. Many of the posters in this thread did not know him back then so you can't see where I am coming from

I know for a fact he will return and I will welcome him when he does. Just because the ban is set at 2 years doesent mean it will stay at 2 years.

Jennyboo · 2004-05-05, 11:14 AM

Least he realized it.. Who knows maybe Squeeky will grow up and get his life back together in 2 years

Hamma · 2004-05-05, 11:17 AM

And for the record this personally was one of the hardest bans I have ever made. I did not want it to come down to this believe me.

I agree Hamma, I'm not a regular on IRC (maybe I will become that

) but from what I'm seeing here, Hamma is not in the wrong.

Electrofreak · 2004-05-05, 11:19 AM

Hey, I would have no problem with Squeeky coming back if he cleaned up his act and behaved in a mature, sensitive, and responsible manner. I just highly doubt that is going to happen.
