Mr. Spencer is (not) banned.

*Fanfic*

Wow, and that guy called ME sad.

"Don't feed the trolls." You guys ever hear that? Ignoring them at least kept this place semi-decent...but now this? It's pathetic. I always believed in that adage of "don't feed the trolls," and you guys just set up a fucking all-you-can-eat buffet. I'm disappointed.

Usually ignoring trolls works 99% of the time, but then theres this small little group of them who continually come back despite ignoring them. The folks over there are that such set. Ignoring them didn't work, so having a little fun at their expense and averting a planned spam attack by them is fine by me.

If that's the case, I dont really understand why you did have to involved the entire forum. If you're simply going to do this every time, you are doing exactly what they want. Like I said...they are immature 16 year olds. Do you really want to waste your time on them? They'll most likely love this drama.

[Henry Spencer]

If anything, this may only fuel fires. Have you guys taken any extra precautions should they attempt to enter here, say, on a different IP address for a spam fest?

Because its true? It's really silly. People don't come to this site because it partakes in immature forum squabbles. This site has been, for the most part, one of the best RE forums out there because it had a decent, mature staff. All this about "infiltratation" and other nonsense is completely unnecessary. You only make the trolls come back more each time when you play along with them. Unless that's really what you want? I'm a bit confused about it.

Not everyone knew about it. I didn't until earlier. Perhaps it was a necessary evil though, considering the threats were against the site and it jeopardized the security of the site itself.

In the words of the immortal(ly moronic) Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?"

Funnily enough, ChrisRedfield29 said almost exactly the same thing.

So we decided to play the troll game exactly like 16 year olds over at that site? It sounds like immaturity on both ends.

[Mr. Spencer]

This being the reason that "RapidNameChange" provided as the reasoning behind his ban:

The only reason I was actually banned, truthfully, was because I disagreed with the locking of the topic. I replied to Borman (who was the person who locked it) and told him that it was uncalled for and stupid. I got pissed off at the idea, as my BIGGEST pet peev is the hindering of the freedom of speech, and commenced to compare THIA to the Nazi lol mods of Gamefaqs. I than told them to delete my account as I would have no further use of that site.

Months later I went in and apologized to ALL of the THIA members through Darkmoon. I don't know what he said in response because I don't believe he did respond but it was a full blown apology.

I have done nothing else to get banned or modded on THIA. Why I don't like Dot has nothing to do with that incident.

[Chris' Boob]

I knew it. I told you!

[A-J]

Oh yeah, you totally shot down my point by insulting my spelling and grammar. I don't usually type full sentences because its just a forum, and you can easily tell what I mean. Thanks for proving my point you people take this site too seriously.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

[Dot50Cal]

That "fanfic" is from a guy who was named RapidNameChange here. He was banned for the following PM to Borman, after Beasley was banned:

The guy wasn't grabbing out for attention he was apologizing to the mods for his behavior and posting an all out apology to those he'd offended. The whole message was intended for EVERYONE on THIA. Obviously you guys aren't much better than Nazi gamefaqs. I can't be associated with your kind.

Please delete my account on THIA as I don't use it anyway and when I do the Nazi mods get whiny.

Eat Shit and Die

RapidNameChange.

Tell Dot he's a cunt.

This was after he posted an "apology" from Beasley and was warned not to do it again. John, I think you have his supposed reason for being banned here? It was something so ridiculous. Something like "Oh man, I can't believe I got banned from there even after I asked to be!

[Darkmoon]

Geez, in the time I take to write a response people start slinging shit.

Discuss this like adults, folks. No personal attacks.
