Hazing is against the rules. Posting and not adding positively to a thread is against the rules.

If you want to be a fucking jackass, go to Flameball. If you continue to be a fucking jackass in here, you may find yourself made Flameball-only.

Well, it does suck. I mean, who puts text into their sigpic? I wasn't "hazing" or anything close to attempting to. I'll admit it was a bit off-topic, but I wasn't trying to be malicious. Hell, as soon as I said that, someone agreed with me via IM. I think it's just a tad kneejerk in my case, but whatever. *shrug*

Erhm... I might be marking myself here, but I don't see where that fell under hazing, really. I thought the post was inane, but just didn't bother to vocalize that fact. *shrugs*

You contributed to completely derailing that thread into total flamage. I'm not going to put up with that shit anymore.

It all has to be positive? What if you don't agree - just don't post your opinion?

You don't have to be mean to post an opposing comment, Em. And those comments were rather nasty for someone who's just trying to propose an innocent game.

And before anyone starts pointing any fingers at me, this is the first I've seen this. So I had nothing to do with bringing it to anyone's attention.

I've been dicking with a computer all day and I haven't even been at the boards. But I agree with Drysart's decision and I'm glad to see him curbing the nastiness.

Yes, it has. I've been too lazy to sharpen it.

And I can't find my Luna pic to change it, since Deth has changed his now.

And it's pretty simple to know what will and will not piss off Drys when it comes to posting off topic.

Example

quote:

Poster1: Hi guys! I just got warcraft III
Poster2: YOU FUCKING SUCK YOU BITCH ASS BITCH. YOU PROBIBLY SUCK A BITCH WHEN YOU ARE A BITCH, MAKING YOU A BITCH SUCKING BITCH WITH A BITCH FOR A BITCH. I LIKE THE WORD BITCH. IT ROLLS OF THE TOUNGUE SO WELL!

He probibly won't like that.

quote:

Poster1: Hi guys! I just got warcraft III
Poster2: Starcraft was like way way better.

That would be OK.

This guy sent me a PM thanking me for being the only person to defend him. He was honestly afraid to post a simple explaination for the post because he figured he'd just get flamed more.

I don't know if you folks realized this, but treating people like shit hurts. So maybe you should stop.

btw, Kegwen, it's against the rules because people don't know when to stop. The titles probably won't last long and they're there to function as a slap on the wrist. Smurfy? Maybe. But if anybody remembers what the boards degenerated into 18 months ago (flamewar every 6 posts?)...I don't think Drysart likes that either.

When people prove that they can play nice we probably won't need so many rules. But in the meantime, jesus, just think about what you post. (And yeah, I may be one of those people who could serve to practice what they preach, but I do try. Hell if I know if it works.)

I've been around long enough to know it was tongue-in-cheek, dude. I'm not saying you catching shit for your comment is entirely right but it's at Drysart's discretion what is and is not acceptable, and I think he's trying to make an example here anyway. I guess it probably sounds like I'm saying "sugarcoat everything you say," but I don't believe in doing that either. Just don't sound so threatening to people who don't know better.

I'm not saying that the new guy deserved this or anything. Nobody deserves that. I'm also not saying that the people Drysart punished didn't deserve it. I agree with the Zero Tolerance policy.

I'm just wondering why some people got punished but other's didn't. I mean, I thought Fizodeth's comment, whether joking or serious, was the most offensive of them all. Yet he emerged unscathed. Just thought that was weird.
