Martyr? Triggar's boyfriend at the time? I never found either of them to be anything but pleasant. Triggar had some great titties, too. As far as pix go I mean.

quite possibly along the lines of 'idiot' 'douchewaffle' 'raving homosexual basementdweller' or 'forever alone shut in'

I don't think he was trolling (at first). I think he had a valid point - except for the few posts he made where he was talking like he was an IRL sniper. Which set me off because the shit he was saying made me absolutely certain that he wasn't. Eventually it just turned out to be beating a dead horse with every fucking post he made until he got to the part about "I hate snipers that heal because I suck at sniping and I want to one-shot them so they can't be forever invincible to me" at which point I fucking snapped again.

Reading it all in one go makes it seem like a troll, IMO. Maybe thats why. Also, I'll be lesad if me and my entire outfit can't cert and take advantage of adv medic (ressurection) and adv hacking in all of our standard loadouts. Its pretty standard for us, and adds a lot of survivability in situations stacked against our collective odds, which makes it fun for us ATM. Sniping has its place, but not as one-shot-kills-all-the-time.

I'd like to officially complain about the forum here now. For months, I used to be able to see all the new commented threads towards the top of the first page. Now, when I check in to see whats new I have to scroll through over a page of new commented threads about PS2.

When did I give permission for this site to become so popular?

Stupid devs asking for our feedback. Are they trying to make the game awesome or something?

Hamma, if you actually accept my application at some point, will you give me enough mod power to bend time and space? This way i couldn't just ban trolls, but also send them into black holes.

Someone like you could never be a reliable moderator, because you think every post that disagrees with your opinion is a "troll."

You probably think this post is a troll.

If only there was a Sticky that talked about avoiding personal attacks...oh right, it's the OP.

Hamma · 2011-07-12, 07:48 PM

Indeed, fail.

If you like passive aggressive women who also wear the pants.

I haven't met a woman yet who can wear my pants. That's all I'm sayin'. But all that is irrelevant - it doesn't stop her from being a nice person. At least, *I* never had any trouble with her.

Baneblade · 2011-07-12, 10:46 PM

She was nice for awhile.

They still have the forum name I suggested... SyndiComms... lol

I indeed have a rather aggressive discussion style if it goes down to opinions, but I always try to see the reasoning behind other ideas.
And the only troll ive seen here so far got banned. Besides that, trolling only becomes an issue if it ends in personal attacks.
That being said, I did moderate several forums in my life, and so far handed out exactly 4 warnings and 1 limited ban, but wrote several hundred pms telling people that they have to think more carefully about their posts, like you should do.
