Where "their" refers to "the spammers'/the insulters'/the retards'"... We have had someone cuss out all the admins and then some extra members, we've had a little Frenchie kid go nuts with lot's of l's, and now we've had a kid insult one of the nicest people on the board, and not even in a very intelligent way. My question is: why? What do they intend to accomplish? Are they trying to send a message to us? Are they just trying to make the admins have something to do? I don't see the logic. Can anyone please give their thoughts as to perhaps why these people do such things, or as to why spammers spam up places intentionally in general? EDIT: ah yes, and I forgot to mention that someone's flooding the place up with proxies... (edited by Kefka on 05-05-04 09:58 PM) |

They like proving their stupidity. I think 66.214.57.60 is his ACTUAL IP. I'm going to fire an email off to his ISP tomorrow and tell them what's up. He'll be without internet within a week. |

I don't know, but having looked over the shoulder of people being arseholes in chat rooms, it has been just to get a reaction. Some adults (in their late teens; early to mid twenties) were going into chat rooms and being arseholes on purpose. They were doing this because the reactions to this behaviour was funny, at least to them. I'm guessing that "they" probably find our reactions funny too. So, we should probably just ignore them and not give them the reactions that they want. |

Because guys, remember, making a total ass out of yourself is the cool thing to do. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. |

And like him and the two or three other jocks sitting on the right side will look at me with this smile and chuckle, it kinda freaks me out, waiting for me to say something. And like no one else does shit, and I've ignored em for a week or so but it seems that doesn't work. I'd slam my fist into the back of his head but I don't know if I am in good enough shape yet to beat up some football player. Yeah I guess there has to be some kind of lamers here, to keep balance in the internet-world. You can't expect every board you go to to be a utopia. :/ (edited by jasukan on 05-05-04 10:28 PM) (edited by jasukan on 05-05-04 10:30 PM) |

Well, there IS something to be said for burning bridges, y'know Weasel. o.o Eh, I think a lot of it's attention and getting reactions out of people though. Unless you've been around for a while, then it can quite frequently be "burning bridges". After all, it makes you think twice about returning to a place if, the last time you were there, you called everybody fuckwits, told them all to suck your dick, told them all EXACTLY what you thought of them, and were then subsequently booed off the forum.... |

KEFKA same thing happened to me! but it was a pm of 'Sion'. But seriously, they should be really less than 4 years. When i got banned before i didnt start 'OMF UMVA MEH OR Y HAX YA' those people must be losers that dont have any friends or anything and enjoy seeing others get pissed off. |

I get a few PM's sometimes that asks for help... when I am not a admin. I usually redirect it to a admin but still... Originally posted by ChibiTarynI agree. I usually ignore thoose threads instead of posting in them. Honestly what do you have to add in spammy threads? |

I personally worry that overzealous admins looking to ban "stupidity" will end up making the boards significantly less active. I mean, 1/4 in Officers' Club were started by people who have been banned. And they're not worthless threads either. Overall, the marginal rise in intelligent level will not outweigh the loss in activity. If you were banned, you broke the rules. Maybe in some extremely loose sense. Basically, an admin decided you were stupid, and I guess that could violate the "use common sense" clause. But hey, that's kind of tautological. "You were banned because you broke the rule that you shouldn't make an admin want to ban you." Hah. Well, we'll see how it goes. |

I seem to recall being threatened with banning once. I think by Yiffy Kitten. Me? Banned? That's overzealousness in the extreme. | |||

These people want attention, i have been to a number of boards and their there and everywhere. Even on here and i am a newbie here. It's a waste of time But it is not always easy to brake a rule, and everyone i bet has broken at least one rule in some way. Hell i am sure i have broken a rule ( even if you've been here long or a short time like me ) I think if someone is banned they should be at least to like in a month or so get a second chance and you never know they could change their ways... anyways... |

Probably the majority of those people suck in real life, so they want to act "cool" on the board. I anyway don't understand what's up to be a moron on a board. Whatever, some things cannot be explained or are just too weird Being honest and following the rules should be similar like outside the web |

Originally posted by hhallahh1) We didn't ban based off of 1 or 2 threads but off a general census of what they were posting. 2) We're not being "overzealous" - we want to have fun too, and if the morons don;t annoy you, that's fine, but they annoy many people. 3) MARGINAL rise in intelligence? I've already seen post quality go up drastically (for the most part) in the last week. Originally posted by ArwonI don't recall this, but if you say so, then there must've been some reason... |

I think I was accused of "spamming" for making a smartassed 2-word reply to some thread or other. |
