Dies to Removal

While Scumbag organizes the occasional raid, you need to see where he's coming from: his community of several years was destroyed under false pretenses, his name was publicly tarnished, and his friends were targeted one by one for selective treatment. He's got a lot of pride which is why he won't drop the issue, nor should he, until he gets an apology, not some half-hearted "we all made mistakes" platitude (this is also why I call him 'the Count of Monte Cristo). I know how he feels though, I was just as pissed after seeing Rianalnn destroy the Called, then the Gutter, then force out several mods including myself; however, while my grudge has died and now all I do is take easy pot-shots here, I empathize with Scumbag being annoyed at twerps trying to play
goofy internet politics under the guise of "forum morality".

Did you know these days the Called gets not a single post for 15days long, and when someone posts, its just Voltan or the occasional CharlieD or the nice wildlife guy (forgot his name).

That is another poster issue: For them the rules are just a mean of enforcing their personal agendas at the expense of the forum users at large (re: complaining at the Gutter and FoS for saying mean things on the internet about other people while at the same time doing the exact thing in the mod lounge threads). Hypocrisy at its finest.

Someone tell votane that you don't issue a first warning and then threaten to close it down later in the same post. Poor clan, having to work with a barbarian.

GRRRRR is the best thread on this forum.

Super mad. Especially after reading all those lies. You're all scumbags just trying to make yourselves feel better by attacking a group of hard working individuals who only want the best for everyone on the Internet. You should be ashamed.

Ashamed.

Thready Pooper is that you?

Nah man, that guys haunts your dreams. I just haunt your water closet.

nathd like a champ

Thready Pooper is a hero. You all pick on him because he's overweight, but I think you're just scared. Scared of what he represents.

I WAS CREATED SOLELY TO DO BATTLE...

The rot of corruption is thick this morning.

this is what i came for

Tube, you're going to lose your title. The corruption is thick and you're not even reporting on it.

I can't believe I wade through this shit day after day...

Darcy needs the blue

I don't trust Darcy. I sometimes get the feeling she's just a moderator gimmick... Crazy, I know.

You're insane

Well I sometimes have the feeling some of the moderators are working against the site so...

When were you guys banned again? :laughingdog:

Those statistics are heavily skewed.

Have a counter argument Suga? Or a you just spouting bullshit?

I didn't even post on the Sally back then, I was just a lurker.

More strikes against you...

(Furious typing)

Link a bro ples

When were you guys banned again? :laughingdog:

When iridium decided it would be best to lie and spit in the face of his userbase in order to enforce a so-called PG-13 agenda of and widespread staff fellation. We just happened to be the first ones to get sent to the concentration camps.

About when the ovens where operating full steam.

All gave some, some gave all.

Sally, not even once

About when the ovens where operating full steam.

You mean the showers. Very steamy.

But I can entertain that graph of yours:

2010: Wopalong was rampaging on Magic Rules and handling cards to everyone and their mother, under the uncaring tenure of extremeicon. A bunch of loveable rogues then comes to the rescue and starts a forumwide move towards reforms.

2011: Wopalong has been neutered and extremeicon ragequit. Part of the loveable rogues are invited to join the empire and idealistically start working towards reforms within the system. Through a coordinated campaign of verbal warnings and private PM's sent to the offenders, the loveable rogues manage to cull the dramatic increase of 2009->2010 cards per post, even going as far as diminishing a little bit. Unbeknownst to them ria and the lapdogs have been slowly climbing along the corporate ladder and sapping the good work put forward by the loveable rogues. By the end of the year they are history.

2012: The final solution is engineered and put
into execution. A campaign of mass infractions leading to mass bannings is started. cpp ratio is at an all out high.

2013: Most of the people have been banned and the remaining ones are cowering in fear under a truly heinous Orwellian regime. People now self-police themselves and every neighbor can be a snitch. When people stifle themselves, there is no longer the need for visible punishments and the regime propaganda machine can start spreading excel worksheets over the neighboring nations representing the alliance for individual freedoms.

First the shower (infractions), then the oven (bannings).

Girl look at that banning.

I gimmick oooouuuuuttttttt!

GR where's my avvy

In my ass

GR where's my avvy

I explained in tbgte but then I was told you can't see that. Long story short: gimme a few days.

A lot of what you said for 2011 actually happened the year after. ER wasn't hired until Jan 2012 and I think ria was still a global at that time.

... I think the extremicon era can probably be blamed for most of 2010-2012. That "infractions are inherently fair" mindset
was still pretty ingrained through most of that year. I think the mods have really softened since, particularly in the last few months of 2012.

That graph is explained by the current blatant disregard of due process. I was banned for "habitual trolling" without ever having received a single infraction for trolling.
