Course, there's a point. It's funny up until they actually do manage to become a nuisance... then it's annoying cause you're the one who has to clean up the mess.
I was a nuisance once, remember that Taryn? I was also an idiot at the time I can't believe that was four years ago. Fucked up.

Anyway, adminning is fun. I have my website and even though it's like dead right now, in the past I've had to deal with some pretty entertaining idiots. I did get majorly hacked once... that was fucking SUCK ASS.

Hmmm...

Doesn't surprise me but I'm not really welcome there anyways.
Apprently bug reporting is frowned upon.

...oops.

Funny that this topic comes around at the time on (SW)S2B's downfall.

I would word it as: "Bring in the logically impared entertainer before decapitating him."

I don't promote it, I'm just saying it's there for a reason, not just a random annoyance that is there purposeless...

Next time I post something like "LOLOLOLOAMG YU ZUXA I QWN K==", please kill me. Seriously, if I'd be advertizing SPAM, I'd be doing it myself and saying: "LOOK AT ME, ISN'T THIS k00? LEARN TO SPAM AND DO IT A LOToneoneslash", which, obviously, I'm not doing.

I don't see your point. Spam exists, yes. But it shouldn't be promoted just because it is something different and gives administrators something to do. From what you're saying, its existence is a paradox, so the easiest thing to do is not be one of those morons who spam . Let the idiots be the "pepper of life", as you say.

Thanks to put it on more simple terms.

Whe need the SPAMs and everything else, because perfection stinks, we're human after all, and love the word as it is, with its idiots and its errors and all, that's the pepper of life!

(BTW, I am NOT being sarcastic).

As I recall, that happened a few times before.

The banned user ended up getting code access and is the owner to this day.

Yeah, it was interesting.

Admins would still have to run the boards and make edits to the code. Besides, such a board would be incredibly boring; the idiots are amusing from time to time. A much more interesting situation would to see a banned user actually outsmart the admins for some time. It's possible - although the odds of it happening are slim and none (mostly because of the fact that most banned users are idiots and don't use their brain as much as they would need to to do so).

Think about it, god created the bad stuff so we have a deeper understanding of the good stuff and can appreaciate and enjoy it more.

Hey, chill. Unless I haven't checked through the board and seen that you've done bad things to the board to the past, it's not like the admins will permaban you on the spot for one small thing you did. Tempban for a week, maybe, for somehow annoying the public, but really, the most bans I've seen on this board are because of reregisters and idiocy, and... well, you don't look like a noob to me. Unless you flame people or troll around the boards, you needn't worry.

I'm not going to lie.
Sometimes I'm downright afraid to post becuase of someone thinking I'm a waste of bandwidth.
I'm always afraid that what I say will be scowl at because it has no physical use
I was relieved when I opened it to find it wasn't a thread full of flames from admins.
I don't really have anything else better to do with my time except post stuff like this in hopes that it will raise a chuckle or two.
No, I don't have much of a life.
And I do enjoy the way things are.

EDIT: Except for the link below....
Could've gone without that.....

I'm pretty sure the Trash Can says it all

But yes, I have to wonder what makes a person do that. And cause I don't really want to psychoanalyse him, I'll just point and laugh instead

For your personal amusement, spiderman3 has attempted to register times.
Unfortunately, he was outwitted and promptly gave up. ;__;


Hee...this is EXACTLY the crap I was talking about.
This is the shit that makes me sit back and chuckle with the admins cuz I KNOW whoever did this had about as much of if not more of a laugh about it than me.
Let me guess "cocks lol" was one of the eight.

I will now simulate Monkey's Butt writing by slamming my hands on the keyboard.

At this point, the keyboard would get fried by what comes -out- of a monkey's butt.

Very enlightening.

Ailure -- they now consider Emotional Intelligence to be a big part of intelligence. I imagine Social intelligence is a part of that.

And I haven't seen any Monkeys' Butts writing...

Posting crap is not a proof of low intilligence. You can be the next einstein and still write like a monkeys butt.

More like social incompentence and in some cases, poor grasp of the English language.

I've administrated at one message board, and there was this, like, fourteen-year-old Naruto fan who would get on late at night and spam and say the most absurd things you've ever heard in your life. Y'know why? It all started because I warned him for trolling on one occasion. A minor case of trolling. On one occasion.

Then he went ballistic and started flaming me, temp-banned him, started spamming on several different accounts, perma-banned him and his alt accounts... I even told him several times that I would let him back on if he could not spam the forum for even a month. Didn't end up happening, and I knew it wouldn't, but I figured it'd be okay if I gave him a chance. Or two. Or twenty. All of which he blatantly refused.

It's kind of sad because he obviously cared about the forum a lot, but he thought the best way to get unbanned was to begin spamming it like a retard. Poor kid, I kinda feel sorry for him.

But, oh my GOD. This kid would go on rants about how I wasn't a "true Naruto fan". I would un-IP ban him with the intent of giving him another shot, and every time he claimed that he'd hacked his way back onto the board using a program. So, not only did he claim to be a hacker, but he claimed to be a script kiddie as well. Even though he was even pretty pathetic for a script kiddie.

I don't have any way of accessing some of the stuff he said, but it was hilarious. Bloodstar was actually a member of that board, so he might remember it.
