Infamous banned gaffers

The funny thing is that of the two offshoots, that was the one Segata went to, after he had his "can't have quality discussions at NeoGAF" meltdown. The irony is palpable.

Eh, based on the thread that caused him to pack his bags I don't think he was looking for quality discussion so much as for affirmation and gentle caresses.
 
Does anyone think it would be a good idea to not let the banned people know they're banned? Like, they can post in threads but no one sees their posts? It would be a great way to fuck with them.

That thread didn't "cause him to pack his bags," it was a last straw type of situation. He was already pretty fed up and just needed a little nudge.
 
Wario64 is pretty chill, so was Opiate.

EviLore already did that to someone. But then he decided that the extra system resources required to make that possible weren't worth it. Also, he figured that the banned guy probably figured it out eventually.

That's what mothers are for.

ya'll talkin foolishness - most of his friends on here were gone, and honestly, do ya'll frequent gaming side? i wanna say yeah, but he was super-active there, and shit can burn you out when console warriors and personal-insult-throwing dudes bumrush threads. he was interested in having actual discussions, and a lotta people actively deaden that, it takes its toll i think.
you both sound like you're projecting more than anything here.

exactly. people that actually know/followed the dude know this. it was a thousand cuts, not a single strike.

Yeah, and you get out what you put in. I've gotten into it with him over Yakuza and his complaints about gaming side could apply to himself.

My only point is that if you complain about the level of discourse (which is a valid conversation if someone wants to have it) to the point where you remove yourself from the site, it doesn't behoove you to go to OA.

Aight, I've derailed too much.
 
I can tell you that Segata doesn't post on OA but another less angry one. I'm not sure if he ever did post on OA.
 
Do you get banned for saying *** **** and *** ****?

I think too much has been said.
 
ain't the point; it could've been about anything. dude was done trying to have actual discussions where that woudln't fly. as a former Kotaku regular, i can empathize, man.
 
Crushed definitely stands out the most to me, mainly because he started off so promising but then descended into just some asshole, gif-posting character with an unbelievably large group of posters at his beck and call.
 
This may have been answered but I didn't see it in the first couple of pages, but why was AceBandage banned? I used to enjoy his/her posts when I was a lurker.
 
^presumably because WU threads were universally negative, so someone a few pages said he just replied to all like NINTENDO DOOMED AMIRITE LOLOLOL and that was the last straw, presumably. he'd had a few priors.

he was otherwise great in nintendo & adventure time threads though, kinda miss him sometimes
 
Wait, Amirox and Blamespace are banned? I know a lot of posters celebrated when Ami was de-modded because he had a lot of people that didn't like him on gaming and he was a hardcore atheist/slightly offensive to religious people in OT, but he's banned now? As far as Blamespace I liked his schtick sometimes, but wasn't he originally banned for peeing on a printout of a mod's avatar and posting the pic on GAF? I know he came back as a junior, junior, junior member, but did he do something even crazier to get banned?

The most infamous member that was banned that I remember was fistful, just because of the Portman thread that made me laugh so hard I was in pain and the ad block thing that really got him banned.

Who was Crush? That was before I even started lurking, but I always hear his name brought up. Was wollan the guy that drew the color people around the chick that passed out in Evil's bed?
