Before I say what I'm going to say I'd like to point out, I, in no way, care if you ban (+[]::)<GBA.
I think you've been kind of unfair to GBA. Sure he's had a couple really bad posts, but most of the reason they looked so bad were the posts after his, basically mocking his. The most recent of which is by 8-bit. Now , using this case as an example, GBA posted that his gf's name was Keli which, seeing as my gf was currently the topic at the time and has basically the same name his comment wasn't exactly off topic, (though it was kind of shifting the topic slightly). However, then 8-bit posts an insult about his gf in a really immature way, thus calling attention to GBA's post and GBA is considered the offender.
This isn't the only case of other people using GBA, or other people such as King-BBB, as an excuse to post really ridiculous things.
I honestly have never been even slightly annoyed by either King-BBB or GBA. I agree that there should be a limit to the amount a member can do or post but I personally don't think either of them has come close to that, and also neither of them has really broken the rules.

In fairness, I thought 8bit's response was annoying. But I'm much less concerned when people countertroll than when they're the ones screwing things up. GBA is considered the offender because he is the offender.
There's also the matter of contribution. I think this was brought up before on this board. The idea is that I'm much more likely to be lenient to people who pull stupid crap when they also contribute, be it in the form of games or reviews. I'm looking at you here. To date, GBA has produced a single review of marginal quality.
Finally, there's the small matter of he has already been warned about doing stupid stuff. King-BBB also has a longstanding history of childish idiocy, but he posts here infrequently, and often he posts about the game he's (allegedly) making. GBA posts flamebait. To me, these are not exactly fine distinctions.

Maybe back on topic?
Reading only the first post, I would have assumed that this was a theme-thread where we are all supposed to post and say what our girlfriends names are.
My love is named Genny. She puts up with my game-making ways quite tolerantly. As a point of trivia, when I was making the Crypt of Baconthulhu, I used her middle name for Misa the Hamster (pronounced "Mee-sha"

Please include Misa in Wandering Hamster. Bob's relationship with her should be further continued.

now in my defence, if someone would have replied to one of my threads that i knowingly made, im looking at you richard, i would have a response. now if i am considered a post farmer, i definatly would have come back at 8bit or made something else that would have been terribly irrelevant to anything. that being said, i didnt make this thread, of all the off topic threads i have created, why would i make one about girlfriends names? i made a point that me and spoonweaver have similiar names in our choice of woman. somehow this thread was created via that link, which honestly, i dont know how to do. never been much of a cross thread kind of person. lets go through the posts and i will say what i will about each. lets start with mine, like i said above, i dont know how to do the cross thread quoting on here, not my thing. 8bit: well maybe if you knew more about my girlfriend you would be able to say something, until then, enjoy sitting in your parents basement whacking off to child pornography, mogri: yep, i remember that and honestly, dont see what the deal is here. spoonweaver: how about reading his reply real carefully knowing that we know each other in real life and play D&D together on thursdays. seems like there is something scandalous there. mogri2: you should really look into the difference between a flame and trollbait. this thread, which if was created by me, would be trollbait and not flame wars. 8bit comes out with an initial post of a flame, hmmm, sounds offensive to me. what do you think? if anything i would be the offended and not the offender. as far as the warning, weird how 8bit doesnt get one. http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53 if you read under your own rules about general discussion, it states that the general discussion forum is for anything that the users would like to talk about. also, after looking through the site, you apparently dont have a ToS of any sort, was going to point out that im pretty sure 8bit would be breaking them. james: your awesome, i dont care what anybody says. fenrir: im not sure what to say to you...thought i noticed that at the end of vikings of midgar, you spelt one of the peoples names wrong in the closing captions. all in all, its really your decision, im not pointing any fingers or anything, but this thread was not created by me.

you show me where i did any of that in my illegid first post

However, you made the post in the Game Design forum for no particular reason relating to the game or its design.GBA wrote:that being said, i didnt make this thread, of all the off topic threads i have created, why would i make one about girlfriends names?
There are certain places posts belong in and the General Discussion forum is the right place for this particular one.
We're letting you fool around in the General Discussion as long as you play nice, but the Game Design forum is reserved for actual discussion on game design.
I definitely agree that 8Bit's trolling has been a bit extreme and entirely unnecessary, though.Site Rules wrote:but please be civil.

Your post was nearly unreadable, but you asked for an explanation, so let's go.
If you really don't understand why you're on the chopping block, then there is something wrong here. Don't point fingers. We're not talking about 8bit here.
That's not the issue.(+[]::)<GBA wrote:now if i am considered a post farmer
I know. It was completely irrelevant to the topic in which it was originally posted.i didnt make this thread, of all the off topic threads i have created, why would i make one about girlfriends names? i made a point that me and spoonweaver have similiar names in our choice of woman.
You're not helping your case.8bit: well maybe if you knew more about my girlfriend you would be able to say something, until then, enjoy sitting in your parents basement whacking off to child pornography
See above.mogri: yep, i remember that and honestly, dont see what the deal is here.
I never said flame or trollbait. I said flamebait (Popularity Contest comes to mind) and trolling (your usual MO).mogri2: you should really look into the difference between a flame and trollbait.
No, if he mocks you for trolling, that makes you the offender and him the counteroffender.what do you think? if anything i would be the offended and not the offender.
See my previous post. Come on. I've already been over this.as far as the warning, weird how 8bit doesnt get one.

Really? I can think of maybe one other time when I intentionally posted something stupid. What I wrote wasn't really offensive. Dumb and childish, yes. But mean? In am extreme way? Like accusing someone of PEDOPHILIA? Surely you jest!Twinconclusive wrote:I definitely agree that 8Bit's trolling has been a bit extreme.

yes 8bit, im sure i can find some other threads where you posted something unnecessary. if you like i can pm them to you. mogri: maybe you should try reading out loud if you had a hard time reading my post. i tried to use as many "big" words as possible so that you can understand what is going on. as far as things being irrelevant, why not look through every single thread ever written on the game discussion forum and pick out everything that is off topic. i mean seriously, do you expect everything to go perfectly? are you considering trolling a bad thing? apparently you dont know what it means to be an offender. it means when you do something offensive. now, illegid thread starts off with me saying something about my girlfriends name. tell me where that is offensive? then 8bit comes in and says something about my girlfriend in real life. not offensive? seriously? momoka: i obviously know how to use the shift key. i write xml a lot and dont really consider typing in capitals and hitting enter unless i really care to do it. just a waste of time to me, im not in my english class again. twinconclusive: why not look back to that thread and see what was posted before mine was. i can say that atleast 2 posts firectly before that one have nothing to do with the thread either.
GBA you are so socially awkward I find it hard to believe you even have a girlfriend.
