Fuck it. If you people don't get it then it ain't my fault, I'm not explaining this shit any longer.

If you want to get rid of the idiots then you're gonna have to stop being such wussyass peace loving hippies first. I mean god forbid you might have to actually tell someone off or even use a CURSE WORD! Sweet Jesus' fetus on a stick.

Dipstikk 05-15-2005 11:39 AM

You want me to bash a new member? Here, you're practically new!
 
Nobody wants to get rid of new members. Suggest something revolutionary that doesn't have to do with degrading people and driving them out, or post something that isn't "Hey, guys. I'm high right now! I grow marijuana plants! I'm an admin at a forum! Embrace me and worship me in a shrine dedicated to my three-and-a-half months of being a member at a forum dedicated to a game which I've even stated that I don't have any intrest in!"

Stop doing that. Nobody thinks you're "cool" for smoking pot. Pot turns people into babbling drooling morons whos greatest conversations include "hey man, I am so high right now." In fact, nobody here could give two shits about your marijuana garden. How stupid does one need to be to let that become public knowledge? It's a fucking Christmas Miracle that you can even type whilst high.

Nobody cares that you're an admin. Being an admin at another forum does not make you a god as a noob somewhere else. You are a new member whos only seperative quality from others is that he talks big. You are NOTHING special here just because you run another forum.

There. I said it. Stop trying to be cool just to grab people's attention on yourself. Become a productive member of the forum, don't start this "revolutionary" crap, and stop bragging about the fact that you're using a plant to kill your brain cells because nobody fucking gives a rat's ass.

There, I did exactly what you wanted. I practically smote a new member here who was acting like an idiot and repeting his mistakes. Your dream is realized, Dino.

Hey, the point is that this may actually work for some members and it may make them either leave or change their ways, but some members will not put up with someone continuously cursing at and bashing them. It will only start a flame war with both the 'idiot' and the person attempting to make him/her stop making continuous mistakes. Then a mod may come on and tell people to stop (Like what happened in a thread in GD yesterday.) or the thread will more than likely be closed if it goes on too long. Heck, this thread is already turning into a flame war! I have no problem with giving someone a firm warning, but I must say that I disagree with constantly bashing them for a mistake. I'm not trying to argue with anyone, this is just my opinion. Take it or leave it.

Rich 05-15-2005 12:10 PM

We want to bash idiots, not noobs and Dino is clearly intelligent. This thread stinks of mawk and codek, but I don't care who Dino is. He's pointing out something, the fact that someone such as stingbee, who was a complete idiot and a dickhead who wound us up purposely after we told him nicely to read the rules, walked all over us. He wasn't banned, which appalls me. No matter how much he did wrong, nothing was done.

I know that the spamming problem here is non-existant, but that's what makes it so much more annoying when retarded 5 year olds start posting how much they like stranger in off-topic.

I agree that he should've been banned. That really bothered me as well. And yes, something needs to be done. But there's a difference in giving a firm warning to someone and then bashing someone (by bashing, I mean a post that is sort of like Dipstikk's last post.). My point is that I'm all for firm criticism, but not bashing. ;) But if you're for bashing, then it's what you're for and I respect that-it's your opinion, but it's just not me.
Edit: But quite frankly, I think people like this (the 'idiots') just need to be banned altogether. :/

Esus 05-15-2005 12:30 PM

Alcar has known to have said that he hates to ban anyone from the forums. When we proposed to ban all the members who had signed up and never posted he was unhappy about it, he likes to keep members. He only bans members who threaten the security of the forums and the other members, or members who are uber anti-social.

If he won't ban members, our enforcement (you've all seen this, you all know threads where people enact 'constructive critiscism') causes them to change their ways, or leave.

Yeah, I believe I heard him say that sometime myself, but something needs to be done!! In my opinion, I just think the best way is to give them one warning (If they're excessively posting in the wrong places, spamming, flaming, etc.) and then if they don't stop after that warning, ban them. However, I'm sure this will never come about. :/ It's too bad, really.

Esus 05-15-2005 12:44 PM

Or, for a change, the enforcement of the forums could follow the rules or something.

Rich 05-15-2005 12:49 PM

Some forums really are no tolerance, but unfortunately because of the change in audience from intellectuals with AO and AE to pre-pubescent fools with MO, this forum is an idiot friendly zone.

If OW go back to their roots with dark and interesting storylines instead of Crash Bandicoot style, day-glo nightmare adventures, then we shall have intelligent order restored.

Also, some members have benefited from a few insults, that guy in fan corner improved his behaviour and writing style massively after Esus effectively called his story a pile of shit.

odd chick 05-15-2005 12:52 PM

That guy....do you mean chirpy? Yeah, he has improved his writing style. I also gave him a few writing pointers, and I believe that that also helped a little, too.

Sweet. Now we can call the method of criticizing idiots "tried and true". :p

Anyway, I didn't read Chirpy's story after I told him off for spelling or something. Time to check it out.

EDIT: Just read the story, it still has some readability issues, but it was much improved.

Yes I hate you too, in fact, why don't we all turn this whole thread into one big pissing contest in which we all tell each other how much we all hate one another. That should be some good wholesome fun.

Gretin 05-16-2005 12:09 AM

I have a similar stance on this to Odd Chick, but I also believe in the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Is it possible for that quiz (I think Nate_dog_woof suggested it?) to actually be implemented? If it could, and if it needed typed answers (i.e. not just selecting one answer from a selection, as some people would just keep trying and trying until they got the right ones by chance), that would possibly prevent some of the real idiots from actually joining.

What I mean is, when someone registers, they would need to fill in the blanks for the quiz, which would probably be mainly general forum usage, and perhaps even some general Oddworld knowledge, seeing as this is an Oddworld Forum and we always end up with people asking obvious questions about Oddworld. Then, when the account needs to be approved by the administrator, he/she also looks at the answers for the questions and decides whether to let them join or not at his/her discretion.

No doubt some "idiots" would still get through, but even a small reduction would be better than nothing.

Trust me on this one, I have a very good knack for knowing what a member will be like within their first post. Sometimes I only need to look at their profile while validating them. How I would love to prevent the forums from suffering from these idiots (not noobs, just spammers, multiple accounts, etc), I know for a fact that it'd start another noob / idiot / naive / moron war again. And I just love them so much. Yes, ever so much.

The idea of a quiz being used as a barrier to the forums has been an idea suggested long before nate was a member. I suppose the only reason we don't do it is that everyone deserves to have a chance at being a member. It'd be like restricting immigration by using language tests. Which is so 1900's.

Alcar...

Leto 05-16-2005 12:45 AM

I'm taking sides here, but I definatley see what both 'parties' are stating. (Oh God, what a Libran.)

I completely agree with Dino, as said in previous posts. Yet, if we implemented this 'Nazi of Idiots' plan, we would lose some slightly coherent members.

Take me, for example. If you look at my posts from a few years back (2002, early 2003), I was a complete idiot. Look at me now! I use full stops and punctuation!

What I'm trying to say is, I'd like to kick the crap out of idiots, but they may bloom into marginally sentient beings.

It would be like [for those of us in Britain] UKIP or the BNP taking over, no one allowed into the forum, unless they're the *right* kind of people. I wouldn't agree with it, but I can see why many members would.

I know that you hate to ban people, Alcar, but I think that everyone's right about Stingbee. He was horrible and not banned, and we don't need people like that in the community. [I still don't understand why Codek was banned so if someone could PM me the facts, that would be greatly appriciated] but in my opinion, Codek, was a great member of the community and helped out alot, and yet he was banned. [However, I don't know the full story...]

:

Dino, you should calm down. If you hadn't blown up at people then you would be more respected, and any future ideas you have will be listened to with respect. [I know me saying this will end in me being flamed] But you're just annoying people, because you're new here and you're noobish. Like other posters have said, being an admin on another forum doesn't give you any status here.

We've all had to start from the bottom and "work our way up", it's not impossible. Just remember to think before you post, and try not to post whilst you're high.

It's your choise whether to smoke pot or not, but some of the problems have resulted because you were high.

I think, perhaps, that members who are unhappy with the way the forum is being run or have ideas about how the forum could be run, should either write about it in detail in a PM to Alcar or in a post in FS&H.

But you must understand that when giving ideas, you must have respect to the admins and other posters. I'm not sure about many other people here, but when someone starts swearing on a forum because people don't back their ideas, it puts me off even more. [But, the other members and staff must respect the ideas of the poster as well.]

People won't even consider your ideas, if you just whine and nag at them.

We get what you're saying, Dino. And yes, The OWF are generally not harsh enough, but it's been a nice, care-free forum for 4 years now. The staff here just aren't as harsh as you are, and I personally prefer that. They give constructive critisism, which helps the forumers.

Anyway, we have a democracy in this forum. Every year we vote in new staff [more or less], so the problem isn't how the staff treat idiots.

You can actually add extra fields to the registration process, so that it emails quiz answers (or perhaps just a few answers to questions designed to catch out potential idiots) to the admin when it informs him that a new member has registered.

This is true. But I still the think the idiots of the forum should be dealt with, if not through a ban then through some other punishment.

Take the "Final Oddworld" thread, for example. Sligco was being a total ass. Even after the other forum members gave advice, he kept being a dick. In fact, he got even worse. Unfortuantely, the thread was closed before I could chime in, but it was pretty bad. In my opinion, what went on in that thread deserves a ban, but due to the laid-back feeling at this forum, maybe just a suspension would be in order. Something to teach the guys a real lesson, but not permanantly remove them from the forums.

Oddish 05-16-2005 12:38 PM

If you try see things in his own view, if someone dosn't want you to use chat speak, and another makes a big deal with and tell that Slico is a problem, it ends up becoming a fight. Slico was probably anyoyed that people just say it's cusing a problem and a huge fuss, now those are already pissed with Sligco, he feels misstreated, and would fight back aggresivly. And then flaming starts.

I completely agree. I believe that a ban should've been instated for acting like that as well (At least a temporary one). Also, this is what I meant by some people wouldn't take someone constantly bashing him/her and a flame war would result. (Even though Sligco wasn't being 'bashed' at all, really-it was only constructive criticism and he completely popped off on us all.) Unfortunately, the same thing is happening with him as what happened with Stingbee. :/

Edit: After re-reading the Final Oddworld thread, I realize that it seems that Sligco may have been provoked by a few people here and there. However, it still gave him no right to flame people who were only trying to give him constructive criticism. I believe all of this is the reason why that thread ended up being closed.

AquaticAmbi 05-16-2005 03:02 PM

God, I feel so sorry for Alcar; no matter what he does, someone is never satisfied. When I first arrived here, there was some sort of "crack down on the rules" thing going on, making the forums more strict. People complained and were angered. Some even left, I believe. Now that the forums are back to easy-going, there's loads of complaints again. There's no pleasing you people!

For the record Dipstikk, what you were doing to sligco in that thread is EXACTLY what I am condoning and suggesting. The intellectual pummeling of idiots who cause problems. You've done it yourself, so please don't argue with me and tell me that I'm being unreasonable, it's hypocritical.

Dark Oddworld 05-16-2005 06:30 PM

We should put up a spell check for the idiots that can't type a sentence without a hundred spelling errors or for the people who constantly use chat speak. If they continue to spam, misspell and over use chat speak we sould give them warnings and ban them. If there just spamers like Stingbee just ban them after giving them warning or like the way Stingbee was just ban them without any warning because its clear there only there to spam. I've seen fourms with spell check and they seem to have less members with errors and bad grammer.

dont fuck with me I'm on weed....

And you were repremanded...
:

No offence Dino, but I really don't give a shit that you're on weed. It's entirely irrelevant and not even interesting or amusing. And don't bother writing some long-winded post about how it's your birthright to say whatever the hell you like because I don't care.

And you continued to mouth off, which earned you a warning from Majic...

:

1: I never asked you for your opinion on my post, so next time don't make the mistake of assuming that I give a fuck.

2: I don't give a shit about your opinion on how interesting or amusing the comment was. A post isn't invalid just because you don't find it amusing or interesting, your royal arrogantness.

3: I'll write a long-winded post about how it's my birthright to say whatever the hell I like if I want to. Because it IS my birthright to say whatever the hell I like - what are you going to do to stop me? Click on me? Regardless, since you seem to think it's your birthright to say whatever the hell you like, you shouldn't be such a hypocrite.

4: Get a social life, you overbearing pompous opinionated arrogant argumentative shitfuck. Every single post you've made toward me has been an expression of your discontent - not once have you ever contributed anything of any worth or relevance while in these posts. I don't fucking care about how you think that I'm such a bad bad person and how you're great because your farts smell like roses, and niether does anyone else.

So chew on it, boxjaw.

:

Mr. Dino, consider yourself warned for spam and just plain bullshitting. Nate was justified in shooting down your comment. I see no relation with "I'm on weed" and tongue twisters. And I'm not inviting you to try, either. Any more crap about your birthrights and such, at least in this thread, will simply earn you another warning. If you want to play here, then play by the rules.

...Who you told to shut up (a really, really stupid move, telling a Mod to shut up.)

:

Oh do shut up Majic. I'm giving you a warning for not having a sense of humour, you silly goose.

This is my arguement: You haven't been a complete angel yourself in your few months of being with us. So before you go off and put yourself on the High Throne of Noobkind, take a look at your own mistakes and think about whether you're really one to talk about stupid behavior.

Dark Oddworld 05-16-2005 06:47 PM

In some ways Dino is just as bad as a spamer but he does have the right to flame people if he wants to no matter how much they may hate it. If he wants to be nasty to new members he has every right to be but it could just lead to his ban. No one likes to be flamed but if it becomes a critical problem after being told nicely to improve there spelling or to stop spaming then it should be ok to flame them for there stupid grammer. I hate people who don't even try to spell correctly. I'm not that great of a speller but unlike some newbies I try to spell better and try to correct the words I don't spell right. I'm also a fast typer and don't like to spend a great deal of time checking over my post so I still spell somethings wrong. All I know is that the spamers around here are just anyoing and need to be delt with.

Ah, I see your point.
I actually think that most of the time, the warning system we already have in place works fine. And the Sligco situation shows why flaming sometimes causes more harm than good.
This thread shows how sometimes telling someone clearly what's wrong without flaming can be far more effective than calling someone how stupid they are. (Hope you don't mind me using this as an example, Cyber-Slig)
And, yes, I know some people just won't listen when they are told clearly, but some people also don't bother to tell them clearly, they just get straight to insults which can sometimes mask what's actually being said. If they ignore everything that everyone tells them, then it's time for the moderators to step in, maybe even issue a warning depending on the degree of rudeness/stupidity/whatever.

Yea, but that "crack-down", in my oppinion was unfair... People got warnings even for small jokes made for pure fun, and non-spamming intensions.

Also, i think that one of your majour mistakes with the crack-down was that you made such a big deal with it.
It's like when someone tells you not to do something, then you get curious and do it anyways. But if you just don't say anything, the person wont even think about it.

But if you don't ignore them, then they end up telling their form tutor, and it's you who has the Sh*t kicked out of you by someone with a lot more power than you have.

Or, if they are strong Knobs, then I don't think you'll live to see another day.

(Asuming this is what schools are like all over the world)

I enjoy a public arse-kicking match as much as the next person (the spat between sligco and Dipstikk was fantastic ;) ) but it tends to spawn itself in other threads, I'd noticed. As in, one thread turns into a fight between two members, mods close it, so the argument is taken to another thread... and so on.

Soo... I'd have to side with the mods/"hippies". ;) Their job is hard enough as it is without having to decide which rule to apply to which thread, and which rule to ignore because it's all for the sake of "flaming the living hell out of the twats".
