There was three of them that newbs spammed in all posts, the one with a mchine gun, the one witha pistol, and the one with Barret's arm.
Also, I can't halp but notice that :D and ;D are the same.
-
:Plight: Yea, well if they made smilies equaling = 3 = and or ^__^ and or :3 I'd use em.
-
I remember that. We had a few different users that would overuse the gun smiley, but one or two that spammed it intentionally. Don't remember the exact names though.

I spammed it on my first days.
And the one with shade glasses.

:frag: :jumpin: haha u missed
Good times.
-
I just spammed the gun smileys recently.
-
:w00t:
No one seems to use this one anymore.
-
I remember there was a user that would post this a lot:
:jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin:
At the end of every post like it was a signature.

Make Lucas's sig into smilies
This topic is about stuff before my time.
-
I still do. But seldom. ;)
^-^ O0 :*: (http://www.charas-project.net/forum/Smileys/Charas_Blue/evil.gif)
These smilies holds the honor of NEVER being used. ever.

OT: Darkfox, if you weren't a moderator, you'd have gained a new rank by now.

I didn't spam gun smilies cause I was awesome and not as that huge noob it.
-
OT: Darkfox, if you weren't a moderator, you'd have gained a new rank by now.
Asses, the same will apply to me in a while! We'll never get to see what that rank is!
I mean, the next closest post fag here is MIC, and he's gone forever!
Lucas, you're the next in line. Don't become staff, and post like it's going out of style! We must see the next rank!
-
Well, I guess we got bored of using smileys.
But actually, this thread has nothing to do with smileys. Grandy is just trying to make sure that I never beat him as the number 1# topic starter of charas! :P
I am in third place, and drace is second, but he's banned so I dont need to worry about him.
One day Grandy, one day....
:guns: :frag: :para: *spamlas* *posspam*
Wait, Drace was ban'd?
I must start a new topic asking why!
-
Nuu.
:<
Why's he still in your sig?
Nice sig, BTW.
-
Because I dream of Red Fox returning to me.
-
Him, dominicy and red fox decided to spam the forums. Just read the news area. :P
Then again, I don't remember Drace spamming that much. I know he replied to some of Dominicy and Red Fox's spam, but he didn't start hundred of topics like they did. But I guess I missed something.
Although I know he was considered a troll even before Red Fox and Dominicy's HSS arrival, which I guess lead to his ban in the end.
Anyway, yeah. Smileys. :corn:

banned well known member. :P

Eggman: Let me speak to your manager.
Employee: Okay one second sir.
...
Manager: Hello, how can I help you
Eggman: Sir, can I ask you a question?
Manager: Um, sure.
Eggman: Do you own a calendar?
Manager: No, I can't say I have.
Eggman: *facepalm* Just what I thought....
Eggman: Listen, look outside, what do you see?
Manager: Sunlight?
Eggman: Exactly. Now tell me how the f*** you got September mixed up with December!
Manager: Uhhhh...I though it was a clever market scheme that all of America would buy into.
Eggman: That's what all you big business say, sad enough America buys into it.
Manager: Yea, that's phase 1:, phase 2 involved explosive fabric and remote detonators.
Eggman: *hang up* Damn....those corporation are always one step ahead of me.

I miss Red Fox... Not Drace, though. He was a douche. So was Dom.

True. Red fox seemed nice, not exactly expected this from him. I saw it from dom light years away.

Robotnik.

Exactly what I thought. Still, he took part in the spamming, so blah.
-
Since they were fairly long-standing members, I was considering campaigning for their bans to be lifted after a time if there was public outcry. And by campaigning, I mean I'd basically just do it myself cuz I'm an admin. But nobody seems to be all that troubed over the losses.
-
I don't think long-standing membership should have been any saving grace really since it was pretty deliberate and stuff. No mercy for premeditated crap.

I remember those smileys too. :)
It's nice to stop by. It's also nice to see a Charas history-related thread in the recent topics, as it seems to be a good place to post! So Red Fox, Drace and Dom were all banned, huh? Crazy stuff. From what I've read here they were spamming? That's a bit sad.
-
Robotnik.
too annoying to respell over and over again.
-
Well known members with a character :P
Must I remind you each time?

I am.
I just figured out it'd be pointless to argue.
-
Because Red Fox and Drace were banned, methinks.
Drace was already under troll territory, but Red...I think he just did so because Dom asked him to.
-
If anyone is really bothered, you can send me a PM about it. Alternatively, if anyone really wants them to stay banned, you can also send a PM about that. Consider it an informal census.
-
You are sad because 3 trolls were banned?
i'm sad because Drace was an awesome guy.
-
I don't think they should be readmitted. I love Red Fox like a brother, but he fucked up.
Screw Dom and Drace, though. I've always hated them.
-
Drace never impressed me, to be honest. And the other two... I never really paid much attention to them.
Also, what ever happened to BIG DUKE? Did he finally finish putting on the Ritz?
Also, SEE WHAT I DID THERE? :-X
EDIT: Damn it...
-
Drace always started fights and **** but I didnt see any spam from him until that time where they did the mass spamming.
Then again, Drace did not spam from what I recall. He did reply to very few posts from Dominicy and Red Fox, but unlike them, he did not start multiple topics.
-

Just doing my job <3

Wow, I am completely oblivious as to who that might be.

This is Dom and Charas:

You go through members like a fat guy goes through... something... Yeah I got nothing.
-
Unfunny gay jokes.
That sounds about right.
-
Thing about Dom was he seemed to have an eboner for joking ever since he discovered what joking was. He got himself banned from dA when he got bored of it, which is retarded.
Drace and his endless 4chan meme lust. That was Drace, right? I think it was.
Red Fox, he was disappointing, but alas. Oh well.
Also I absolutely approve of Sai doing whatever the **** he wants with admin powers. Nothing wrong with spontenuity.
Also I approve of banning Lucas if he keeps bringing up "The Game" like it was funny.
Hoist by my own pitard! By which I mean the wordfilter.
WHICH I implimented because I was sick of every little thing being called trolling when more often than not it was jokes or just being stupid. NOT EVERYTHING IS TROLLING GUYS.
-
this entire thread
is lame.
coreographed spamming and weak meme dropping. Its done and over with. If it was a big loss to the three of them, they would have started new accounts, or not had done it in the first place.This thread was supposed to be about smileys. SMILEYS

I remember a time when banning a single member would cause indignation and rage.

I remember a time when banning a single member would cause indignation and rage.
We're all grown up now. Be proud of us.
And I hate smilies. All kinds.
It's because of some certain years when a large amount of classmates realized what they were.
-
I remember a time when banning a single member would cause indignation and rage.
Alex himself put that one to rest, and told the staff they could ban whomever they needed to in order to keep the site running smoothy.
I still think that the "banned" : "probably should have been banned" ratio is fairly healthy.

Oh, the staff aways had the power to ban people, as far as I know.
And, let's be fair, the site couldn't run smoother if it was made of butter. We don't get any real troublesome members, hell, we get almost no real members. 5-10 people join a day and of these, 0.01 stay for over a week.
Do we really need to ban those who actually stay here and post?
-
id say given the circumstance, it was warranted
-
Well, I wasn't here at any rate.
Exactly what kind of tomfoolery went about?
-
Check the last thread in the Junk bin. Pretty much spamming, isn't it?
Now imagine if every single posts in that thread were actually topics started by our beloved friends.
Well, this is exactly what happened. Every single posts in that thread were actually all topics.
As for Drace, well I guess you can check all his latest posts. He didn't participate in the massive topic spam, but was pretty much considered a troll.
-
I think we should start banning everyone who doesn't use a smiley.
:)
-
see, checking the junk bin is all well and fine, but there is a whole bucket full of msn conversations and PMs and precursor history that led up to it all. I think were kicking a dead horse. If the banned users were a loss of any value and importance, they surely would have made another account or something to try and fix the damage. To top it all off, after all of the spamming and flooding, they all tried to claim they were "hacked". Hacker groups are targeting clicky charas members to stir small and lame drama. Sounds unlikely. Especially when I had an MSN convo with Dom during wherein he casually admitted that ALL three of the banned members were behind it.
Again, were kicking a dead horse. Im going to say right now, that this could be better discussed in its own topic, or via PM. If anyone wants, Ill be glad to talk about it there. :jest: *posspam* :jumpin: :firefox: *spamlas* :para: :flower:
Also, I agree with archem

I'm not calling anyone out personally (yet) but I think the fact that nobody stays here to post has something to do with the fact that everyone acts like goddamn morons in the welcome topics that they make.
Just something to think about.

I'm not sure something can be a dead horse if some people didn't even know it happened at all.

Touché.
Then again, it might be because we:
-Don't do games no more.
-Don't do resources no more.
-Have an admin who goes around calling people morons. Seriously dude, what the hell.
-What you said.
-Half-finished banners. We should finish them sometime, seriously.
-No RPGMkXP support. (At least no real support.What resources do we have?)
-Massive ammount of internet drama. This post included.
-
*is late to the party* :w00t:
Drace has been a massive weenie since he "came back". All he has provided is unnecessary arguing and 4chan memes.
Dom has been bored of Charas since forever and was probably looking for an excuse to leave.
Red Fox is indeed disappointing since he actually contributed something, but it was his choice to join in. He made his bed and now he can be sodomised in it.
Also there are plenty of people working on games. It's just that nobody publicises them any more because they've had projects before which they publicised massively and which never came to fruition.
Ha ha! Came.
-

This.
We're all grown up and stuff and realizes that we better keep our projects to ourself since we know it's a great chance it won't be completed.
I've posted like one game when I first joined. I've had countless of projects since those years back but none of them were completed.
-
Look gais a random thread gone into questionable antics and immerse discussion! let's fancy over it and discuss it's shenanigans!
-
I think people join and quit in the aformentioned manner because they realize that we arent going to make them 32 bchar sets. I dont think Sai calling people morons is driving anyone away. I called people worse when I was an admin, and it had little effect.
If this was a forum that didnt give a crap what any of the users had to say, or one that LEGITIMATELY thought you were all morons, this thread would have been locked a few pages back. This "YOU CANT BAN PEOPLE LIKE THAT DRAMA" is stupid. They intentionally broke the rules, over and over and over, and tried to "attack" the site (if you can even call it that). They were banned for all of the reasons that people get banned from web forums.
Again, kicking a dead horse.

First - I don't speak in caps. I used to back when Raffles first came, realised it was stupid, and then dropped it. Don't 'quote' me or my reasons for all-caps and in such simplistic manner, please.
Second - The horse was alive and well when I left. It was a nice pony and I liked it.
Third - The other 'internet forums' you mentioned are actually just hellholes created by the admins to glorify their ego. There are, however, lots of great forums out there, most of which with admins that, I'm sorry to say, are more professional, and overall better, than the ones we have or had here. I'm not saying our admins are bad, they just aren't God-on-a-stick.
Fourth - ...you were an admin? I must've missed the memo.
Fifth - Okay, let's drop the subject. It's getting annoying. Back to smilies!

Re:first
Youll notice i didnt use a quote box, because i wasn't quoting you, Grandy. I dont particularly disagree with any of the points youve made, and for me to reiterate anything Ive said would be lame. Im sorry if I pissed you off dude. I have no desire to alienate you. Youre a pretty cool guy.
Re:second
Perhaps the pony just seemed dead. Or perhaps it just seemed alive. Not important. I like horses too.
Re:Third
Sure, some of them are hugboxes for admins. But some are actually functional, and the stricter forums that i frequent seem to serve much more of a purpose then the ego BJ you mentioned. Some of the stricter forums out there have admins and mods that simply do their jobs, and dont post, and lock/ban etc, because rules were broken. You cant generalise every forum that enforces its rules without debate as being an ego stroke for admins....grey area....blah blah
Re:Fourth
Yep. We didnt send out memos. Ive also been a local and Gmod. Im selling charas staff baseball cards. They have bubblegum in them. The gum is not good.
Re: Fifth
Smileys. Yes. Do you think that if we had some new smileys, andéor got rid of some of the crappy older ones, that people would feel inclined to use them more often?
I think some more practical smileys could be usefull. Or perhaps something more charas themed. Ive been toying with the idea of a new smiley contest for some time, but adding one or two new ones seems silly. We have some REALLY crappy smileys right now, some with out of sceme anti-aliasing, some with no use, etc. Perhaps more then ONE winning smiley would be prudent. Thoughts?
Again, sorry...I have no desire to bicker about this. I dont think there is anything that needs to be said about the banning that hasnt already been mentioned.
-
I agree about a new Smiley contest with more than one winner.
Also, I prefer Zebras. Horses are overrated.

Screw that, go with a platypi.

Two crappy looking horse/cow/donkey smilies. (Look closely - they ARE smiling.)
And now the newbie will stay away from the thread he has no right posting in.
...how would I get rid of the blue fringe?

Take it into Gimp, add an alpha layer, and erase it manually, cause the "color to alpha" tool sucks.

No, no, sorry at me for snapping at you.
