Remember when this topic was actually about smilies?

[Ben]

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

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.

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.

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?

[Ben]

id say given the circumstance, it was warranted

[Grandy]

Well, I wasn't here at any rate.

Exactly what kind of tomfoolery went about?

[Cerebus]

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.

[Archem]

I think we should start banning everyone who doesn't use a smiley.

[Ben]

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.

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.

Good point, but you're currently liable to be banned.

[fruckert]

Point taken.

[Ben]

sai just won

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.
