Harassing others IS against the rules.

My goodness maninroom5. Were you bullied a lot as a child? Is your revenge at hand? Guess we should all be on good behavior when you're around

Simply stick to the rules. We don't have to make sure to be on good behavior. We just are.

I hope he didn't report me for that comment. :x

Nah, I don't like to cause problems or troll. Reporting things so religiously like that just to get someone banned is kinda weak too tho.

tekajo · 12-17-2008, 03:07 PM

You weren't here for the duration of the trolling. Had it been as truly "weak" as you make it out to be i'd agree.
These cats, albeit fairly intelligent and somewhat entertaining, were simply trolls. Nothing more, nothing less.

Are you a troll? No? No worries then.

Mr. Filth · 12-17-2008, 03:10 PM

Cool. I'll be in the music section. That's what I came here for. Hold my calls.

tekajo · 12-17-2008, 03:16 PM

i'm not Betty fucking Bellsouth. Your calls shall go unanswered.

Now i'm going to go find some n00b on newb violence. There's got to be some somewhere in here.

Mr. Filth · 12-17-2008, 03:21 PM

Nobody ever calls. :----[

I will go warn them that the newb violence will get them banned!

You keep going on about other people being trolls Albert. Didn't you originally come here to troll someone called emopoops or something similar. So in effect, you're a troll. OMG BAN HIM!!!1!!

Trolling isn't agaisnt the terms of services, but like Geo already said, harassing is. Albert does a lot to try and get a rise out of people but I have yet to see him dedicate a thread as to whether someone was really *****.

EmoPoops is "PoisonedBlueEyes", and an obvious troll. I followed him here because he mentioned this place on EmoScene in one of his trollings. He's gone from here, now, and I like to think I helped get him out.

The hell you didn't.

He promoted another forum and the admin got him banned. He wasn't bugging anyone, his trolling was somewhat fun.

Mmm.... but if we all ignored it, it won't leave that fast.

Right ?

This post made me smile but I had better not answer it. Any answer I give will only result in more bullying.

I'll just say that when I joined Gnet I had originally considered using the name Rorschach (based on Alan Moore's character). I stuck with Man In Room 5 tho because it's also my Email address and I assumed Rorschach would already be taken here. Oddly, I just did a search and it comes up invalid so maybe it's still available.

Yeah. His own stupid forum. He wouldn't stop talking about it.

Sure.

If anyone wants I'll post the results of the Whois querry, but it's public record anyway so anyone can get it themselves if they feel their complaints aren't reaching the right person.

79 complaints sounds like a lot but I was actually pretty lenient when you consider that I read over 1550 posts. (Yes, I am a vindictive, relentless prick who goes to great lengths when offended or angry--ask any of my ex-GFs.) I cited blatant racism, homophobia and other types of slander when it was the prime motive of the post. I didn't include insults made in passing as part of a larger post because we all tend to do that occasionally. I tried to limit myself to those posts that really crossed the line. I also cited a handful of other posts that were not offensive in themselves but proved that the trolls are working together bragging about their trolling and planning future trolling. Lastly, I kept a list of direct links to all the posts I cited in case anyone else would like to complain about them or question my criteria for complaining.

This took over 8 hours. Remember that the next time one of the trolls tells you that they've gone back and read all your posts and have proof that you're the troll. I'm pretty sure none of the 4 I reported have that kind of dedication to any sort of idealism.

Now I can put the trolls back on ignore.

Well done V. I'm making you an honorary Knight of Mars. Here's a plaque with a picture of you wielding an enchanted 2X4.
