MCWagner wrote:One thing that has become abundantly clear through OT and WOT was that a single member can become a nuiscence completely out of proportion to their membership. Opening multiple accounts, pretending to be someone else, necroposting twenty topics, spamming, reposting modded posts, releasing "bots" into the forum to repeatedly repost deleted topics.
MCWagner wrote:Here's a little test. Did you necropost? Flame? Open multiple accounts? Pretend to be someone else (or similar disruptive stunt)? Sneak back in after being banned? Attempt to get a rise out of the mods? Insult Phade because you were bored? Throw a temper tantrum? No? Then you're probably not the one being talked about.

MCWagner wrote:Well, I for one got disgusted with the constant stream of crap, and left, no longer wanting to be associated with somewhere that encouraged that. If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. Posting convention announcements was pretty much my sole input to the board. I suppose I'll leave it up to you to determine if I was "useful" or not.

while I agree that posting in OT doesn't inherantly make one annoying(except for me, i'm always annoying), should we also discount the fact that many of those who were producing annoying dead weight content have dissappeared after nearly a week?
MCWagner wrote:Vegita, you're not paying attention, and making assumptions all over the place. When Hatter was posting in GA was he flaming, necroposting, spamming, or otherwise making a nuiscence of himself? No? Then it wasn't adversely affecting the forum. Yes?
MCWagner wrote:Then the forum DID become less interesting for having to wade through all of his crap to find the good posts. Hatter isn't any kind of Typhoid Mary or Tourett's patient, he can actually behave. He just chooses not to. Does it adversely affect the BOARD? Yes, yes it does. Evidence? Well, I for one got disgusted with the constant stream of crap, and left, no longer wanting to be associated with somewhere that encouraged that. If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

MCWagner wrote:(Your example is another matter. I agree that the person was being an asshole and thus wasn't being "useful", actually detrimental, to the board. He shoulda been smacked down. Similarly, you have to agree that a lot of flaming was going on in OT and WOT. Similarly useless, and detrimental. So it should be squashed, right?
MCWagner wrote: You seem to be convinced that "popular" editors get a pass on stuff like this. I agree this is wrong. Did you drop a note in the mod box about it? Oh, and that's a contradiction, not a paradox.)

[MOD467: I hardly think Phade did this just to piss off people.]
