[QUOTE=o DefcoN o;25141231]This. And also people arguing over who the op is going to be. The Doctor Who and Halo threads are the worst at the minute.[/QUOTE] The Halo thread is terrible about it. Not to mention that no one can agree and none of them even get considered anyway. [editline]07:45PM[/editline] [QUOTE=LinuX;25142149]You [B]ARE [/B]an idiot.[/QUOTE] Is your birthday [B]that[/B] important, LinuX?
In response to Forum User Craptasket and Forum User Onyx3173's mini-discussion on where to draw the line between uninformed posting and trolling, maybe it should be a bannable offense to simply be an unintelligent, misinformed poster. The old adage "Lurk More" comes to mind when I think of New Forum Users posting offensive things that could be seen as trolling... Just my 2 cents :usa:
What's with people putting "v1" or "v1.0" on new threads? It's like they expect it to be a huge hit and that it'll need more threads.

[QUOTE=fish puncher;25164181] Is your birthday [B]that[/B] important, LinuX?[/QUOTE] No it's not. In fact, nobody cares. It's just another person birthday who we don't know. [editline]01:14AM[/editline] [QUOTE=LinuX;25142149]You [B]ARE [/B]an idiot.[/QUOTE] How? He has his opinion. Who are you to tell him it is wrong or idiotic? Besides, I think the less harsher banning system now is leading to worse posters, especially in the gmod section which quite truthfully was never that good anyway.
if i have a quick question on hardware would i put it in fast threads or hardware forum
[QUOTE=gerbile5;25164768]Besides, I think the less harsher banning system now is leading to worse posters, especially in the gmod section which quite truthfully was never that good anyway.[/QUOTE] banning is seriously getting less and less strict we're gonna need a change in the moderating standards because right now there are trolls and rulebreakers that are staying unbanned for ridiculously long amounts of time [editline]01:23AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Sir Spicy Buns;25164907]if i have a quick question on hardware would i put it in fast threads or hardware forum[/QUOTE] not sure about this, but i think you should go to the technical support subforum in H&S
[QUOTE=Sir Spicy Buns;25164907]if i have a quick question on hardware would i put it in fast threads or hardware forum[/QUOTE] Either one would be okay. [editline]01:25AM[/editline] [QUOTE=MrOwn1;25164915]banning is seriously getting less and less strict we're gonna need a change in the moderating standards because right now there are trolls and rulebreakers that are staying unbanned for ridiculously long amounts of time [/QUOTE] hi mr own!!!!!!!!!!
[QUOTE=gerbile5;25164969]hi mr own!!!!!!!!!![/QUOTE] yo bro
[QUOTE=MrOwn1;25164915] not sure about this, but i think you should go to the technical support subforum in H&S[/QUOTE] The Computer Illiterate thread could work too. If you come in asking a question and not trying to seem literate, they won't be assholes about it... usually.
[QUOTE=Onyx3173;25164704]Didn't you just basically say that you need to lurk more, Doug?[/QUOTE] No, no. I was saying that bad posters should be banned for not learning the Forums well enough, not "Lurking Enough." Trolls like me still deserve to be banned for being trolls... But I'm turning my Forums Life around. From here on out I'm a respectful, Smooth-Talking, Straight-Shooter Son of a Gun looking to post properly and have some fun.

he's doug, he's ALWAYS gonna get banned
[QUOTE=bepassley;25135398]why isn't it bannable for people to shit up threads with ideas for the subtitle for the next version, 20-30 pages before the thread is even over?[/QUOTE] Seriously, make this a bannable offense, as well as posting just to edge the thread towards the lock. In fact, ban thread titles and (maybe) version numbers outright, it's a fad that needs to be beaten the fuck down.
[QUOTE=Happyfaic;25165649]he's doug, he's ALWAYS gonna get banned[/QUOTE] Let him have a change for now but then continue to BOS him.

As a Former Troll myself, I would like to officially endorse the idea bepassley never be made a Moderator. bepassley AKA BigHeadBrandon is a troll who doesn't even care about Facepunch. He shouldn't ever become a Moderator if you ask me. [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Alt" - Dragon))[/highlight]
shit doug U got me :( "we at ddof think facepunch is a shitty site but we keep coming back and writing out paragraph long threads to prove a point" by we i meant just the three of you who are actually still using ddof

Is doug no longer BOS or what? TH89 banned the OP of a thread that Doug of Arabia made the first reply in..
does it really bother you that much if doug gets to post??
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;25169626]Is doug no longer BOS or what? TH89 banned the OP of a thread that Doug of Arabia made the first reply in..[/QUOTE] I don't think Doug's really been doing anything ban-worthy yet.
Mods are supposed to be ruling this place with an iron fist what is wrong with you garry
How often does a moderator accidentally ban some one, maybe for the wrong reason, or wrong person? And is there a list of reasons that you have to pick out of?
The banner hammer has finally struck Doug.
And what did doug do in the first place to get him autobanned or what ever
btw dragon just a heads up theres another cluckmoo alt somewhere around here!!
