TuT sure does have a thing for being an internet forum martyr. I think the ban is good for Epi and TuT, because clearly they have too much of themselves invested in this forum.

RIP.

I miss G10.

A forum where only banned posters could post would be pretty sweet

It'd be just like Mario Kart where if you lose the battle, you come back as a bomb.

it was clear from the beginning G10 would come back sooner or later. Way too many hints from Clark plus there doesn't appear to be a Tuq figure in his case.

GREEEEAR will be FRED

Actually a great idea. Idiot posters would intentionally get banned and the mains would be much improved.

And then you could re-perma everyone from the banned forum as a trick.

they just take SE way too seriously

but they don't even care about SE brah

Yup this needs to happen.

Ok, so he's probably just a terrible NFL poster. I don't venture into those woods, so I can't evaluate, judge, or analyze.

There will be no peace around these parts until Maggert is allowed to come back home.

Free Maggert.

Yeah I was on the ban Maggert bandwagon at the time but given the last month's events and the current standards for bannage, he should be freed.

Be warned - not gonna have any difficulty pulling the trigger on this account given how new and low volume it is.

OK on a serious note, how the **** has gruna not been banned? He seems to be legitimately mentally ******ed.

lol down's syndrome... lol system of a down... lol tate forcier

On another serious note this post really cuts through all the nonsense imo:

I'm not going to stir up a fuss but I don't really see any good reason mods should exist for any purpose other than banning spammers, people who post offensive text or pictures and people who post illegal things other than to make sure discussion goes exactly how a select group of posters wants it to go like someone else said. It's not the end of the world that that's the case but acting if there's some sort of objective measure of "quality of discussion" is silly. People have different tastes.

Mods should just let people post their post man. Art for art's sake.

its worse bc this group is infinitely more vocal than the silent majority. bc they bitch and moan, their agenda gets promoted and, ultimately, good posters get banned. ironically, when others question the move after the fact, or attempt to defend those on thin ice, we get labeled whiners ourselves, along with getting placed on the troublemaker list for possible purging.

further, our aims arent taken seriously even when they may merit consideration. i think phb is an awful poster and a huge "net negative" to these forums. he posts a ton, apparently is incapable of thinking prior to posting, and has shown incapable of changing his viewpoint when facing insurmountable evidence and logic the contrary. this leads to annoying derails of bickering spanning multiple pages. sounds kinda familiar i guess.

now the proper course of action would be to report many of his posts while waging a behind the scenes lobbying campaign, as it appears many did against epi and bitchface. but that seems pretty boring, takes a long time, and likely wouldnt be successful. its also against my principles in believing that its the lol internet and if ppl cant handle morans and trolls then they should gtfo.

unfortunately, it seems that a vocal core of posters greatly desire to homogenize the forums. eliminate those that post contrary opinions in a brash and edgy style. its gonna make the place boring fast.

oh get over yourselves

you want to make martyrs out of people because they were *******s on an internet forum, go ahead, but realize how ridiculous you sound

pretty lol how you're making arguments toward a "silent majority" when a number of people itt have made it clear they were sick of those guys. "silent majority" = "a bunch of people i can invent and assume support whatever position i do"

yep, that about sums it up.

you do realize most ppl supported bitchface?

epi may be a stretch, but id imagine if there was a mandatory vote ppl would support him.

Victor you obliterate your own argument.

You are constantly taking contradictory positions and being rude, yet everyone likes you.

Why? Because you aren't a ****ing ****** on purpose. That's what got them tossed, and rightfully so.

Kyle, do you even support a college team? Tate forcier? Does Cleveland St. even have a team?

cleveland state made the dance like two years ago, and kent state upset indiana with antonio gates man

Victor quit making logical arguments. There is no place for that here.

lol no way, and i say that as somebody who wanted to keep epi around, if only for his weekly frosting reviews
