That TheLastWord persists shows that you need to be a special kind of dumb to eat a perm for being a fanboy.Him and TheLastWord (btw, expect an essay in here sometime in the afternoon when his mom wakes him up to eat his tendies) were like my Bebop and Rocksteady. I miss him already.
Say what you will about TheLastWord but he rarely, if ever, resorts to insulting people. He attacks companies, not other posters.
I never said he was attacking people. Just that he is a fanboy as extreme as it gets and manages to avoid a perm for years on end now. So people receiving perms for being fanboys must act pretty exceptionally stupid. Insulting people over their toy preferences is one example for that.
I know. I was just explaining why I think his takes are tolerated. There are lines he doesn't cross.
He kept that same energy all the way till the end, deadass.tlou2 be hella lit doe
yall m$ fanboy$ be flyin planes n shit
yall finna dont boutta hate me now
My bets are on that Vawn will have a meltdown in this thread the day his temp ban lifts.
Well if he's reading the thread right now I hope he sees me saying that he was only banned for a few days and should honestly be humble and apologetic when he returns. Don't throw the account away on your pride even if you're sure that you're in the right the smarter move and the better move is to ingratiate yourself to the mods and overtime build up your image in the community. You could reach a point where such arguments would be respected should you still choose to argue them.
There are no men on the internet.Why didVawn get banned? Is it because he referred to a forum member as not a real woman?
Where did he post that? If it's true I'm ready to do a good time belly laugh. I'm just picturing someone looking at our anime girl AVs and saying, "How dare you play mind tricks on me! You're not a real man!"
I consider you my man
He had warnings, he was temp banned, and he showed no sign of changing. His immediate response to his temp ban was this "work":
Gamernyc78 was banned because he loves games too much and I'm not so sure if people on gaming forums should be banned for that. It's not like he was posting some really disturbing or hateful comments.He had warnings, he was temp banned, and he showed no sign of changing. His immediate response to his temp ban was this "work":
Gaming trolls keep that same energy
I'm all for bans on ppl trolling or what some may feel is trolling although ppl are conveying their honest opinion based on owning diff systems and pr rhetoric... Butttt..... When you ban a few ppl keep tht same energy with trolls from opposing views. It seems there is some rampant favoritism...www.neogaf.com
Imagine there are visiting game journalists or people interested in joining NeoGAF for relevant gaming threads and they see crap like that. It hurts the site rep when you have loose cannons like that. Trolling gamers should have died out when Yahoo Messenger and MySpace bit the dust.
Yeah, people need to remember NeoGAF is the most popular gaming forum right now and with that comes a responsibility to maintain a standard of respect and maturity when discussing video games. The idea that the mods are biased and there's a conspiracy to oppress certain groups of gamers or whatever is ridiculous because you see both PlayStation fanboys as well as Xbox fanboys receiving time outs and permabans. But I know certain people don't want to accept the reality because it's easier to make believe and go on as if nothing happened than it is to admit when you're wrong.He had warnings, he was temp banned, and he showed no sign of changing.

That's not really what I intended to mean. I'm more saying that if you have a reasonable argument but approach it from the viewpoint of someone who is persecuted, wronged and upset directly after being resurrected from a ban that viewpoint is not going to get as much traction as it would if you present it as a normal person who isnt on thin ice. And this is pretty easily provable by the fact that often the post that someone is banned for we can't find too much fault in it's more about the history. If you have a point you really want to drive home but its going to be divisive it's important to have a certain level of respect in the community and not be on the s*** list of the people running that community. It's not really me saying that once you're an elite member of neogaf you can troll everyone. I'm just so used to seeing people suicide their accounts because they're so sure they're right and can't wrap their mind around their entire context of their existence on this forum.What's up with this recent idea that if you burrow yourself in the community, any kind of behavior will be acceptable? This is my second, maybe third time seeing it.
I have zero against Vawn, to be clear. He throws me a like every now and then, and such things tend to keep me on your side.
I'm kidding. I think.
Point being though, I don't want... well, literal sleeper agents burrowing their way into Gaf by acting proper for a year, and then having a license to do whatever they want. I don't want people even thinking that, or, if I can say this, coming to this board with that mindset.
Fortunately, I'm pretty sure that the only 'tenure' that exists on the site, is maybe a little more tolerance for people who contribute a lot, as opposed to those who do nothing but take.
I feel like even as a top 18 Gaffer (flex), the second I step well and truly out of line, I'll be put in my place. And I want it like that. That's a healthy message board.
The purpose of temp bans is to do just that (give them time to change). If it's psychological or family problems (real-world problems); then they need to take a break from forums. Most of these users have a perm warning prior to their perm ban. Creating a toxic reputation on any webpage isn't going to go over well.
People can change, but 2 week ban is not enough. I was thinking about something like 2 months, or two years ban

is it necessary for me to buy copies of tlou2 and play frisbee golf with them
Being funny helps. However, in the same vein as when I said that trolling is in the eye of the beholder, so is humor. A comment that is hilarious to some may be antagonizing to others. Part of the reason that "trolling" is sometimes humorous is because one side finds humor and pleasure in making the other side mad by "owning" them or "dunking" on them. Some people get this balance right, some do not. The good ones know how to create a net positive reaction even from "trolling". Humor can be achieved without being antagonizing or petulant. GamerNYC didn't have that balance right. Despite multiple warnings and ample amounts of chances, he still chose to play with fire, even though it was pointed out many times how many burn marks he has on his fingers. I still contend that perms are too much of a long term solution to a short term problem, but that's not my call to make.
Or have specific bans, like from the gaming, communities, etc?

Mod of War: Remastered
and the rest? I think it might even end up being more entertaining as well, maybe a good way to change the person when he comes back.
Maybe throw a console warring meta there as well.
There is that console warring thread in the main gaming forum, but never gained traction.
It was really interesting to me how little traction that thread got. like there's a thread that exist that allows you to console war and the console warriors aren't interested??? I think it's like you say it's because they can't drag along people who don't want to console war if it's separate and that's what they really want to do is drag this place down.
I know I'm the absolute last person that should be criticising anyone's attempt at humour, but he sure as shit wasn't funny. If anything, people were laughing at him, not with him.
It would be an interesting sight to see exiled users battling each other, but I don't think any troller would bother even if they got endless bullet points of ammo to post...... sales list wars, MS has more money, higher MC ratings etc....
i think so too but there'd also be a lot of sniping and suicidingNow that's a funny name.
That seems like a lot of work to keep a few members here that don't contribute anything positive to the community. idk if that many of these posters would even post if regulated to this section seeing as they don't use the designated threads that are already in place for shenanigans. But it is certainly an entertaining idea. Maybe the staff will think about it.The moderation team have such a great sense of humor, and I have one for them:
Why not have "Jail/Rehab" along with Gaming/Comm/off/politics forums? Those who get banned can only participate there until they do their time, so they can still use their PM's, read only on other places. I think it'll end up being funny with all the inmates there.
Any chance in considering those?
Maybe throw a console warring meta there as well.
Yeah, that guy that was going to fuck that other guy's wife was funnier. Or our flat earth space furry.
We can see who the truly narcissistic ones are. It'd be great.
