I don't know if Soon's point went over your head, or you were just too busy being a moron to take it into any consideration. :groovy:

Ignoring racism doesn't make it go away nor does it make it right. Don't ever come down on others or talk about intelligence if you're going to ignore what he does just because you respect/idolize him.

[Vykromond]

some retarded crap

Read Soon's post #11. Then read your post #12. Then laugh at yourself, just like I'm laughing at you now.

some retarded crap

...What? Was I even talking to you?

[PH]

It's an open forum, if he wants to call you out for being a fucking prick he has that right. Get your head out of Annux's ass and grow the fuck up.

[Vykromond]

Nothing he said had any relevance to what I said whatsoever. He just used me as a springboard for some more of his retarded tirades.

PS: You might be too busy graduating from "I'm a stupid fuck who makes stupid fucking assumptions" school to pick up on this, but I don't give a fuck whether Annux is banned from the forum or not, and never have.

[PH]

I don't give a fuck whether Annux is banned from the forum or not, and never have.

Then why the fuck are you here? Cops made this thread to call out staff for doing the absolute most retarded thing they could have possibly done. It had nothing to do with you, yet you come in here and spit your unwanted opinion for what I'm sure is some bullshit reason.

Back on subject, and I say this for at least the third time, this reform has been a total failure. We're right back where we started. Yeah, useless threads are watched more closely. Big fucking whoop. A couple of the people who were given amnesty have already struck out and gotten banned again, but not before they left their mark of idiocy. If anything, rather than lifting bans, more bans should have been handed out. It takes more effort than it's worth to find a genuinely interesting thread that doesn't degenerate into complete and utter shit.

Sound familiar? It's the same problem we faced before this "reform" façade came into play. If you want to reform things, do it right. Hand out punishments fairly and equally to all people, regardless of whether they've been here for two years or two hours. If anyone else had said the shit Annux has been saying, I'd be seeing a nice "Banned" by their name. But hey, he was the twelfth person to sign up for these forums. Obviously he can do no wrong. By all means, treat him like a fucking king. Heil Annux Hitler. :groovy:

It had nothing to do with you

What the fuck did it have to do with you? Did Annux kill your babies or something?

Back on subject, and I say this for at least the third time, this reform has been a total failure.

"Back on subject" being "whatever subject I came up with as what I'm pretending this thread is about." This thread is Cops trying to reban Annux. It's not about Pure Hatred's opinion on whether the forum reform worked or not.

more bans should have been handed out.

I don't disagree.

It takes more effort than it's worth to find a genuinely interesting thread that doesn't degenerate into complete and utter shit.

Really? There have been more in the last week than there were in the five months before that.

But hey, he was the twelfth person to sign up for these forums. Obviously he can do no wrong. By all means, treat him like a fucking king. Heil Annux Hitler. :groovy:

He's also pretty funny. You're also the most melodramatic forum poster I've ever seen.

[PH]

He's also pretty funny.

Yeah, because using "mongoloid" in an insulting fashion is just a riot, let me tell ya. I'm busting a gut over that one.

This thread is Cops trying to reban Annux. It's not about Pure Hatred's opinion on whether the forum reform worked or not.

Annux is the main reason the reform has failed, genius. All it did was ensure that a veteran forum-goer has a place to spew shit like a broken sewer pipe without consequence, while giving the rest of the retards one more shot to be as stupid as possible before being banned again. Yeah, nice reform, guys.

[Vykromond]

Annux is the main reason the reform has failed, genius.

...What? Last I checked, the reform failed because the only thing it actually changed was the hyperlink location of the Useless Crap forum. I wasn't aware that, in fact, the unbanning of Annux was what did it. Now I see that the 38 posts he's made, of which 2 could be construed as "racist" by someone feeling particularly tetchy when they woke up in the morning, were like the Nagasaki of Trench Wars Forums. Thanks, Pure Hatred!

[Vykromond]

Wait, no, I'm not quite enlightened yet- I just saw something weird, Pure Hatred! Could you explain it to me?

Is racism wrong? Yes.
Is racism effective in getting under the skin of overly sensitive nancyboys who shouldn't play the game in the first place? Yes.
Does using the N-word constitute a fucking idiot? Yes.
Does getting your panties in a bunch over a fucking idiot using a racist term make YOU a fucking idiot too? Yes.

People take too much shit to heart in this game. Shut the fuck up and play.

Who the hell posted that? What is that crazy kid THINKING? Show 'im who's boss, Pure Hatred!

[PH]

No problem. And just how many of his posts actually contributed something other than the same shitty one-liners that anyone could pull off? It pains me to say this, but his posts were even more useless than Melufa's, and look where Melufa is now. Again. Wake up, mods, the forum's still a piece of shit.

Edit: I see you posted more nonsense. In-game stupidity should be dealt with through an in-game ban. Forum stupidity should be dealt with through a forum ban. Yeah, maybe calling Annux's posts "racist" is borderline nitpicking, but they're stupid for damn sure.

And I would like to thank you for hopping on my nuts and going through all of my past posts looking for inconsistencies. Let me clarify my stand on this issue so you can go back to jerking off while reading my reply, as you seem to have been doing throughout this thread. I DO NOT condone racism. I simply realize that it is a powerful weapon that can be utilized by veterans and newbies alike, with equal effect either way. I don't have a problem with that, that's just the way racism is. My problem is this. When one person is flamed for exhibiting racist behavior, while another is praised for doing the same shit simply because of his veteran status or whatever, something has definitely gone wrong. As long as he has sycophants egging him on and telling him how awesome he is, and as long as the moderators cast a blind eye to his actions, things aren't going to change.

[ZeUs!!]

I don't fucking believe this was even thought of posted. This the most fucking ludicrous thread I have ever seen on the forums, its a complete fucking joke. Have I ever idolised anyone, ever? EVER? Annux was unbanned along with 8 or 9 others so why am I only making gay love to him? The people who were unbanned were done so to try and give these forums something different because roughly 75% of the forum community at the time were moaning about how these forums had become the most stalest, blandest most boring fucking waste of time. Do you think that because someone's popular we're not going to reban them? These forums had degenerated in the biggest fucking pile of crap I'd ever seen, where the most interesting threads were being posted in the Useless Crap section and revolved around two men's sex lives. TELL ME THATS FUCKING ENTERTAINMENT. And its not just me who was saying that - anyone with two brain cells to rub together had left these forums. Myself and wadi decided on a number of changes to try and give these forums a fucking lifeline, and if anyone re-offends they get banned. Is Annux banned? So has he re-offended? And you don't think we will re-ban anyone? Look at Melufa. We were brought in to shake things up and that what we did because at the time I would have got more fucking enjoyment out of STICKING FUCKING PINS IN MY EYES THAN READING WHAT WAS BEING POSTED.

So are you trying to judge the effectiveness of our changes in just one week? That’s fucking bullshit, in a week Friday I'm going to have a full review of all the changes that were made and whether we should keep them or amend or simply scrap them. You can't just move a forum and then expect everyone to start an enlightened debate on the theories of fucking nuclear fission. I want conflict, why do you think I'm trying to put as many different people in as little forums as possible? Did you want the forum staff to do nothing at all? I'm not scared of stepping on anyone’s toes, I've managed to alienate Dameon Angell as he's convinced that I was implying he was the cause of all that shite in the Useless Crap forum when I didn't indite him at all. In fact he wasn't.

The way to a successful forum is not to control every single aspect of whats being posted. The way to a successful forum is not to let people post whatever the fucking they want especially if it means offending other people. The way to a successful forum is obviously to let people post what they want so some conflicting opinions emerge – what the hell is there to discuss if you’ve got a forum populated by the same kind of people who are constantly agreeing with each other? We’re getting people talking and if you’re not happy that someone was unbanned and then started criticising you then I’m sorry but boo fucking hoo. Our policy was to try and cut out the useless and worthless posts that were being made which were making these forums the most frustrating thing to read, and it looks like its working. When was the last time someone started a thread about their one year fucking anniversary to some guy they’ve never met who lives 2,000 miles away to fulfil their deep-seated insecurities and try to convince themselves they’re funny? I can’t fucking believe we’re being knocked for making any sort of steps towards making these forums a more interesting place.

Why are you singuling out Annux? Are you tempting him to break the rules to show just how much control he has? The guy doesn't even want to post here. And don't anyone even fucking think of construing this into some kind of 'zeus thinks that posting funny racist jokes will save these forums'. TW quite rightly has a zero tolerance stance on any form of racism, and if it appears it gets punished straight away, with even less leniency shown to those who have been recently unbanned. So what have we achieved by unbanning certain people? Well anyone who has re-offended has been rebanned straight away and they’ve got people posting. Complete fucking failure. And why is someone talking about a reform? Only about 50% of any mooted changes have been implemented. Man I'm pissed

[PH]

Excuse me if I don't consider moving a few forums around and unbanning people to be smart moves. They were banned for a reason, because they acted like fucking idiots. So bringing the idiots back is going to make everything peachy around here? Okay, sure. Instead of giving the forum more problems to deal with, why not leave them banned and add some more bans? You don't clean shit up by piling more shit on. You can say I'm singling Annux out all you want just because I don't agree with him, but the fact is no matter how you look at it he's from the same group of idiots that were granted amnesty and have already earned themselves another ban.

Here's another idea: how about cracking down on the stupid fucks that are responsible for good threads degenerating into one-liner contests and/or going completely off-subject? As far as I can tell, all you did was let in some more rodents to fuck things up. Again. I, along with 90% of the user base, am still baffled as to why, after these people fucked up, you let them all back on. They aren't making the forums interesting. They aren't livening the place up. They're just forcing it deeper into the shitpile. At this rate, all of the people with any semblance of a brain are going to leave this place and you'll be left with nothing but Lucon's useless posts and random idiots cockfighting over who slept with whose mom.

I'm not trying to say I don't appreciate your efforts to curb the useless shit that flows through here, but I think you guys are taking the wrong approach. Crack down on what is making the forum bad instead of bringing back what was making the forum bad to begin with.

[ZeUs!!]

But you're still refusing to look at the fact that they've livened up the boards and those still posting haven't re-offended - and if they do they get removed from society completely

[jeem]

the main thing that can be drawn from this is that people don't deserve second chances?

how's that for a one-liner? LOOKS LIKE I WIN THE CONTEST

oh wait, i'm off-topic

no wait, i'm the reason this forum is supposedly bad, right?

[Troll King]

It's been years since Annux's "second" chance. He's got to be in double digits by now.

His "mongoloid" comment was damn near treading the line. If it wasn't a third strike then it was at least a foul tip.
