And how many times have people at this board "lost control" and posted 300 times deriding someone? Hel, check the display case.

But then, I guess if you side with the right people, it's okay to be an asshole!

Legion-You found it funny. Hell, you may be able to take it if it was dished out to you. Not everyone is exactly like you.

Some people might be, *gasp*, offended. And don't give me crap abotu it just being the internet. It cans till be insulting.

Edit-Damn, Hiryuu said it much better then I did. (And sooner, to boot)

wtd? I respect Tom, as the good admin he is. I don't know what the hell is wrong with everyone all of a sudden.

Kario is banned for not just yesterday, but HIS WHOLE RECORD.

How the hell do people expect to make it in the real world if they can't even deal with how they're treated on an internet message board?

Words are words. If you're so affected by them, then you have some growing up to do. People need to lighten up and realize that you shouldn't take most things to heart.

Because he's backed into a proverbial corner, where every 30 seconds a new post pops up insulting him. Is he supposed to just sit there and take it?

He's only human, after all.

Toxic-So he should let the whole experience on the board be ruined by a few people who enjoy insulting people because they can get away with it?

I think that if you can't take a little ribbing, you don't have any business flaming anyone else.
People who are going to flame people on threads shouldn't just go around and get all offended when someone even thinks about the slightest utterance of an insult.
Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

Is this his board? Is it your board?

It's not my board...

OH, that's right...it's Acmlm's, and he said that Yiffy Kitten was an admin...with admin powers.

So being an admin means you get to be exempt from all the rules?

Sweet!

So am I.

It's not like we made any personal attacks to his race, religion, or creed. We didn't attack his family or anything such as that.

We made fun of the fact that he thought it necessary to update us about his personal life after returning from a ban. We did some mockery after that. No harm, no foul. Seriously, I really don't see why anyone would be so offended at that. There's no reason to be. I'm sure even most 9 year olds would laugh along with us if it was them in Kario's shoes.

And Eyebarb, I agree. If you flame me, I'm not going to cry myself to sleep about it. I don't expect anyone else to take my flames/insults/mockery seriously either. It's just words meant to stay here on the message board and to be taken at face value which is pretty much worthless just like everyone elses.

The examples Toxic posted are 2-6 weeks old. Definately before the "second chance", hence irrelevant as evidence nowadays. Besides, they really weren't so terrible.

The Kario thread isn't in the Display Case any more, for better or worse, but a lot of people were baiting him. And he didn't even respond that poorly, he just called the people who were being assholes assholes, iirc. And then he was banned.

And, of course, the "it's just the internet" argument is kinda shitty... not necessarily cause I disagree, but because that logic is always selectively applied. You flame Kario, it's okay. But if I were to flame certain people here, I'm pretty damn sure I would be told to knock it off, if I don't get outright banned.

Having to talk when having something to contribute is good, but don't take one side of the fence and then jump to the other the instant you see a greener blade of grass.

I didn't ban him, and I'm not second-guessing Colleen, but a few people whined about it so I decided to make a poll to find out what the general opinion of Kario was.

"Outgoing." What a nice way of saying "You have your head up your ass." Seriously, if you thought that was a good thread, I want what you're smoking.

And once again, you're assuming that everyone takes insults the same way that you do.

Colleen-The board has changed quite a bit since the restart. The boundary between "spam" and harmless fun has shifted considerably.

I also find it funny that you people think you have ANY rights whatsoever here. Guess what? You don't.

If Acmlm wants to ban you because he doesn't like your username, he can and you have absolutely NO say in the matter. Obviously he wouldn't do that and that example is extreme, but it's true.

Well, I thought the reason you banned him is that he should have known that it was stupid, but he didn't, thus showing that some people never learn

I don't know who exactly fell behind the "my rights.." excuse, but obviously admins will attempt to define principles and act on them. If Yiffy Kitten's justification was, "yea, I hate that fucker Kario, and that's why he's banned", then... well, okay. But I'll wait for him (or whoever actually banned Kario) to actually say that.

Um, no? Actually, it's quite the opposite. I clearly indicated that people don't.

Me: "How the hell do people expect to make it in the real world if they can't even deal with how they're treated on an internet message board?

Durrr.

And if they can't take insults like me, then they have problems. I'm not saying I'm better than them or perfect. I have my own personal problems, but this isn't one of them.

That's the other thing I love.

There are other staff members too....so....there is the SLIGHT chance that things get discussed between them, involving possilbe issues such as bannings and acceptable behavior....

You know what? I'm not talking to you anymore because you obviously haven't read this thread thouroughly. It was mentioned already. More than once actually.

Besides, I feel you're being facetious anyway.
