That's good. It is a start. Now if we could get everyone to come to the table.
But some immoral people have been officially told that they are no longer welcome at the table, yet they continue to keep showing up for dinner.

It'll happen if we make it happen. If people can protest and change a government, we can come together and make this a more peaceful place.

I don't think this is the kind of reaction we're looking for in this topic... chill out man.

That sort of change happens face to face or, at the least, with a physical presence that can't be denied. This? This be teh intertoobz, man. Not only is the glass half empty, there is no glass at all.
At any rate, you can count on me to follow the terms of the truce. Largely cuz I was already leavin' things alone, but also because it's the right thing to do to restore the fun.
I don't report people either, and it's more fun here if other people'd do the same.But some immoral people have been officially told that they are no longer welcome at the table, yet they continue to keep showing up for dinner.

Do you really want someone like Charles Manson at your dinner table?
As an aside, yes, I would have dinner with Charley Manson. I mean, why wouldn't you? The guy was part of one of the most infamous events of one of the most infamous periods of this nation's history. I'm quite sure it'd be fascinating to speak with the man. Besides, despising something you don't even try to understand is one of the most despicable things you can do.

July 30th, 2009 I had a thread removed. When I asked why it was deemed a "disruption" I was told:
Our forums are not designed as the best place to share non-gaming articles and news that you find interesting, I'm afraid. At times, we allow the more light hearted topics that don't have to deal with gaming, but generally, more heady topics aren't allowed. Many topics that don't relate to gaming are classed as 'disruption' on our forums, and actions taken on the world stage are often deemed political because that is where the conversations inevitably end up being.
Do you really want someone like Charles Manson at your dinner table?
Assuming he's there to tell an interesting story rather then kill my other dinner guests, it might be an interesting evening.
Do you really want someone like Charles Manson at your dinner table?
Implying that people here are similar to Charles Manson is part of the problem that has created this annomosity and resulted in the spike in ORC activity. It doesn't help. Not agreeing with someone else's point of view does not make them bad or imoral.
Is this right...

Now I'm confused...

I've been trying to come up with some response to this for a while now. Sadly, this is not possible.
The problem with a truce is it requires both/all sides to act in good faith. If even one party involved decides to continue acting in a disruptive or antagonistic manner the whole thing fails.
I know. Getting everyone to agree and participate will be dificult. Call me stipidly optimistic, but I think it's possible.
I think we should come up with our own set of rules for acceptable behavior. We can always ignore those who continue act disruptively.
Do you really think anyone here really resembles a Charles Manson?

What's funny is when my instructor was 18 he actually met Manson at a burger place. (supposedly)
Either it really happened or my instructor is a good liar. In his words "that guy scared the sh*t outta me" And not too much rattles this guy.

I invite all sides to contribute to this discussion in a respectful and meaningful manner.
But it is exactly the type of attitude that is needed on these foums. A certain individual has proven time and again that he is incapable of following the rules of this site, and he has repeatedly been punished for it. Yet this individual has decided that the rules do not apply to him and has refused to accept his punishment like a mature, responsible poster. In short, he does not care one iota about these forums. As such this person should not be forgiven until he can accept his punishment, apologize for his actions, AND prove through his posts that he has changed his ways.
Until then, however, such posters must be treated with the fire that they so deserve lest they regenerate.
To be blunt, I think that these forums are better with people like the individual in question being banned. Sure, it might not be as "lively" but I will gladly sacrifice a bit of "liveliness" if it means fewer threads lock and fewer posts deleted for violating the terms of service.
It will not be looked at to see if it should be reopened, it will simply be ignored.
Thanks for keeping the forums a good place!
I also think it's cute that everyone refers to a single user as breaking the rules and/or should accept punishment when there's multiple people breaking the rules and getting banned all around.
Other than me and goldo, who?
At least until the mods get away from here.
I don't believe in reporting posts, unless it is something that is grossly offensive (like posting pictures of dead skewered babies.... or behavior on that level. not the stuff that goes on here).
I'd rather that the person bringing in the heat, get run out than the supposed troublemakers. If we can deal with it, amicably then maybe the reporter should just pack up and leave. But I suspect it's not about being offended but about this person getting their jollies.

Thread reporter.
Hardly, GoldoMark. I may hate, loathe and despise you and your childish trolling and find you to be a blight one these forums, but I firmly believe it is up to the moderators to enforce the rules. If others wish to assist the moderators then that is fine by me.
By the way, and I am being serious here, why do you feel the need to violate your bans and keep on coming back under different names?
I'm for the truce.

And how is that any different or any worse than a troll getting their jollies? Why are the jollies of a troll acceptable but the jollies of someone helping the mods not acceptable?

Because while the troll might get his jollies, at least the thread remains intact and can be discussed as the posters in it desires. Ultimately, also the people that respond to the alleged troll are simply feeding it. And I think that everyone in this particular board is smart enough to know they are doing so when they post. They just want to debate stuff.
It doesn't simply get Disappeared or Locked like it does when someone that has a Vendetta against a Poster (or in this case at least 3 posters that I'm aware of) goes on it's reporting spree. And that is what it is, a vendetta. It's not helping the mods. Because the mods don't actually do their job and determine if the content of a given thread is Lock worthy. They just lock it, say they might "review" it and might reopen it and never do.
I have had several of my threads, which were not offensive at all in of themselves, get Locked or Disappeared because of this person's Vendetta Jollies Cravings, because two of the posters in question just happened to post in it. Even when they did nothing wrong.
Also let's face it OTT was much more lively before this Self Righteous Vendetta possessing Prick showed up and brought the Heat in with him. Each time this crap goes on less and less people post in OTT.
TLDR version. The person "helping!" the mods and supposedly "helping" the community on this site are doing more to destroy it single handedly than even the most base human being I ever met that came to this site did. And that assclown posted a picture of a dead fetus, skewered with scissors before he got himself Removed.
Any ideas for rules would be appreciated.

Instead of blaming this person or persons who are reporting posts I think that the blame really does need to be placed squarely on the trolls. It seems to me that if they had simply abided by the rules (or at least accepted their bans once they decided to NOT follow the rules) that no one would have reported them and chances are the mods never would have noticed the threads and locked them.
And it seems to me that it is the trolls that are driving the posters away. I truly believe that with fewer trolls there would be more people willing to come to thise section and stay here.
As for the "two posters in question" not doing anything wrong, if they were violating a ban and posting under alt IDs, well, that is actually doing something wrong.

Reporter.
Prove it, goldomark.
And for the record go back and read posts from the past three or four months. I have been posting regularly in this section for quite some time before you started getting banned. Why would I all of a sudden start reporting you when I did not do so in the past? Hmm, frenchie? Answer that if you can. You might want to look for new posters to this section. Chances are that it is a newbie (either to the site or this section) who is reporting you.
Also, why are you afraid to answer my question?
Why do you feel the need to repeatedly violate your ban and keep coming back to post under new IDs?
It's not gonna happen. Someone reported the Egypt thread and it was poofed. No fights, no attacks, no real discussion of politics and it's still gone. Someone here is gettin' their jollies out of this. Oh well, we do have a group, you know. Actually, we have two. ;)
That's good. It is a start. Now if we could get everyone to come to the table.

Ultimately, also the people that respond to the alleged troll are simply feeding it. And I think that everyone in this particular board is smart enough to know they are doing so when they post. They just want to debate stuff.
It doesn't simply get Disappeared or Locked like it does when someone that has a Vendetta against a Poster (or in this case at least 3 posters that I'm aware of) goes on it's reporting spree. And that is what it is, a vendetta. It's not helping the mods. Because the mods don't actually do their job and determine if the content of a given thread is Lock worthy. They just lock it, say they might "review" it and might reopen it and never do.
I have had several of my threads, which were not offensive at all in of themselves, get Locked or Disappeared because of this person's Vendetta Jollies Cravings, because two of the posters in question just happened to post in it. Even when they did nothing wrong.
Also let's face it OTT was much more lively before this Self Righteous Vendetta possessing Prick showed up and brought the Heat in with him. Each time this crap goes on less and less people post in OTT.
TLDR version. The person "helping!" the mods and supposedly "helping" the community on this site are doing more to destroy it single handedly than even the most base human being I ever met that came to this site did. And that assclown posted a picture of a dead fetus, skewered with scissors before he got himself Removed.
Instead of blaming this person or persons who are reporting posts I think that the blame really does need to be placed squarely on the trolls. It seems to me that if they had simply abided by the rules (or at least accepted their bans once they decided to NOT follow the rules) that no one would have reported them and chances are the mods never would have noticed the threads and locked them.
And it seems to me that it is the trolls that are driving the posters away. I truly believe that with fewer trolls there would be more people willing to come to thise section and stay here.
As for the "two posters in question" not doing anything wrong, if they were violating a ban and posting under alt IDs, well, that is actually doing something wrong.
Reporter.
Prove it, goldomark.
And for the record go back and read posts from the past three or four months. I have been posting regularly in this section for quite some time before you started getting banned. Why would I all of a sudden start reporting you when I did not do so in the past? Hmm, frenchie? Answer that if you can. You might want to look for new posters to this section. Chances are that it is a newbie (either to the site or this section) who is reporting you.
Also, why are you afraid to answer my question?
Why do you feel the need to repeatedly violate your ban and keep coming back to post under new IDs?
