I've always told Shyguy any ban he got he probably deserved it. He acted like he was victimized by Colin but he brought most of it upon himself by his own reactions. That said, I was a bit disappointed at how board staff allowed him to be repeatedly flamed by members *cough*Riku and Cirvante*cough* with no repercussions (opposites threads and other such crappy threads). As I recall previous similar altercations resulted in a ban of both offending parties as a cooling off session. The incident I'm mostly thinking of was a Mosts Discussion thread a while back.

You can take a scan of the Pit of Disrepair and see who the idiots are by who responds to threads that are certainly going to be closed, but instead you choose to ban someone who just sticks out like a sore thumb and scapegoat him. Again I think he deserves his current ban, but I don't think it should be perma, it should be like a one month ban. And if he still fucks up, then a 3 month ban, etc. He reminds me a lot of troubled people i've known in real life, and I think he'll grow out of it sooner or later. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for him b/c that never helped anyone. Hell, I'd be surprised if he even wanted to be unbanned if he was viewing this thread.

Colin: Orynider was disliked b/c he faked screenshots and faked knowledge of certain romhacking techniques in obviously disprovable ways. E.g. he claimed to be making a SPC music editor but posted a screenshot from an existing composer program, iirc. In general he is considered to be a fraud and a liar and just generally incompetent.

Isn't he Romanian though? That's not a knock on him but if his English comprehension isn't that great... you're gonna have problems.

Look at this, and check his others threads and read his post content. You'll see why he was banned. It wasn't just the really crappy SMW hack. He tried coming back at this forum, but they deleted all his posts, apparantly.

I remember when Kario said, "You're STILL around?" or something to that extent to Ory.

Oh, and he may not be lying about his age, because he's used different varations of pictures of the same guy always, and that guy's definitely not a teen. Of course, he may be faking it still with someone else's picture.

Wow, this thread has gone so far off topic.

OryNider was probably lying about his age. At least, that's what I think (at least from first judgement ). What exactly did he do, out of curiosity? His profile shows he never made any posts. Did he have a severe profile violation or something?

Sorry if that's what you got out of that post, I didn't intend for that to happen; I wasn't trying to say that people all mature at the same rate (although I am very stress free, love school, am generally healthy, live in the country and am raised by loving parents, to fit your parameters).

However, there's no excuse for OryNider being almost 30.

You're assuming everyone gains intelligence at the same rate. They don't. Some people learn faster than others. Some people never learn, at most until it's too late. Also, you're failing to factor in other factors, such as environment raised in, city, stress level, diseases...and...well...Shyguy's an idiot at any rate, but you shouldn't put expectations of intellgence out based on age. There are bound to be exceptions, with younger people being smarter than older people. In some cases, such as with those child geniuses, this can be extreme.

On topic, really, where is common sense these days? Shyguy is 19, Orynider is almost 30, and there are other late-teen people who have gotten banned. Blackhole89 and I are amongst some of the (fairly) younger people on the board, relatively speaking. And sure I make some mistakes with my posts, but if a 16-yr old can behave properly, surely a 19-year old can? Apparantly not.

Sorry for the late entry, but I just thought I'd give my two cents to the naysayers (For people confused, I'm addressing pro-Shyguy and anti-ban people).

I've seen the other way around: boards ruled by utter idiots who would spam nonsense and flout logic. Their common responses to my typing would be 'Lol you're faking your intelligence with big words.' But they fail to realize I am cursed with this manner of speaking.

I won't go into specifics, but those who appear to have flamed against this all seem bitter for the fact that, in this forum, those people seem to have lost their power and are now being hunted down and BANNED like they should have in the first place.

The internet is for reasonable, logical people. We got here first. If you want to tear up logic and post junk like Mr. Shyguy, go to... uhh... VGF. Yeah.

XK put it better, but I just want you to know that the traditional niche of a message board does NOT mean that you should be allowed to stay here or that it is your 'right' to be around forever. If you're annoying to most people or disruptive to normal board operations, well, you're banned.

Shyguy had a billion chances and blew them all. Perhaps he'll learn after being banned for a couple years, but think of it this way: Until recently I thought his mental age was 12 when he was really 19. I may be conjecturing, but his posts distracted and infuriated me, one who reasons through logic and these so-called fake words I use to pretend to be smart.

I congratulate Colin and hurl flaming pies in the general direction of Shyguy, the Saeed of these boards, 'cept he got his comeuppance and Saeed destroyed VGF. Blah blah blah blah *Trails off into gibberish*

If anyone has watched the Price Is Right, that sound is when someone loses at a pricing game. I laughed quite a bit when I heard it, and for some reason, kept refreshing the page a few times. I laugh even more when I see threads like this as well.

Colin, you're probably alot smarter then you let on, do get a job, and leave the net behind. the Internet already has enough Eejs, we don't need more.

Can someone explain the bolded part to me? Went right over my head.

I think we got way offtopic here even if the reason to Colin's...uh, promotion was due to that ban.

I think I agree with Ailure on this one, though. Ban and then leave it.

If he is sincerely hurt by being banned from some internet forum, than he has bigger problems to worry about than being banned from Acmlm's. Like, learning to not care what other people think.

As one who has been lobbying for Shyguy's removal once and for all from everywhere I visit, I find this pretty awesome, especially coming form Colin, who's just earned more rep points from me.

Like Danielle said, I can't have counted the amount of chances Shyguy got, it's absurd. Glad something was done about it, though.

It probably is worthy of ridicule, but who cares?

They put themsleves into the situation anyway.

Technically, the "no flaming" rule's always been rediculously lax when dealing with banned users.

Especially really annoying ones.
