What about me? I lack the required facial hair. I have long, medusa-like sentient head hair, though. Then again, Darkmoon's long locks even beat mine. Damnit.

[Andyfer_Ruu]

...then why am I not some kind of malevolent overlord? My beard kills and eats lesser beards.

Epic.
They say that Chuck Norris has a fist under his beard.
Well..
Darkmoon, is it true that theres a Chuck Norris hidden under yours, ready to dish out eternal damnation to wrong doers?

And Alexia,
Of course you qualify. you may not have a glourious beard, but as you said, you have madusa like hair.
You use it to turn the trolls into stone and use them as a wall decoration to strike fear into other trolls!

[Stars1356]

I had to shave my beard off for work, I feel so naked and face needs protection from this harsh winter.

[Vector]

I tend to imagine Darkmoon's beard flaring up into a bright, flaming orange whenever he gets angry or hands out an infraction or ban, kind of like Ares from the first God of War game. Whoa. I just got the chills.

Not to be an ass (well...it's 50/50), but I thought people weren't supposed to be carrying on conversations in this thread? Because both regular flapjacks AND moderators are doing just that...

[Darkmoon]

You are, indeed, correct.

Back on topic hippies.

I was about to say the same thing.

I strike myself as a curious man, so I was wondering why did Stu get banned for anyway?
I'm really not around much so I can't tell myself the reason. I hope he didn't go the
"missvalentine" way.

Going a little bit off-topic over here, I support the idea of CR29 & Rosetta Mist
becoming future mods...seems like the right candidates.

Haha no he didn't. He is not like a fag MissV. Its just a matter of spam and nonsense that cost a ruckus.

EDIT:I am aware of my warning. Just wanted to get somethin off my chest. Sorry about that.

[WeskerIncarnate]

Stu was banned? Why so?

[Bertha]

Careful what you say, AK. MissV may have been a lot of things, but to start name calling after he's banned and gone drags yourself down to his level. And...I thought Darkmoon asked for chatter to be cut?

As for Stu...I believe it was due to his less than friendly responses to several new members of the forum.

[Kaneco]

Stu was banned? Why so?

I guess it has to do with some recent flaming, I don't really know since I'm not
around much but I can tell that "Stu" has been involved in them and has become
the center of attention for newbies to hate and argument with.

Which is why I mentioned missV.

What AK just said is very vague, but leads me to believe that it was
flaming/bashing after all and got out of hand.

EDIT: lol, Rosetta you really make me nail the root of the problem. xD

[WeskerIncarnate]

Really? That's it?

I mean, those are all perfectly legit reasons. I just thought it was an accumulation of things he's said and done, because he's been doing stuff like that for months (a lot less related to flaming new members, though).

Again though, fair enough.

[Alexia_Ashford]

It was a temporary ban and he's back tomorrow. It was just so things cooled off a while after it all came to a head the other night. Now let's get back on topic.

I was aware of my punishment of my posting. I expected another infraction and well I already said I just wanted to get something off my chest. Anyway I am done bashing with that part of my immaturity.

Sorry for this THIA staff for adding your works.

[Stu]

Would it be too much of a cliche to launch into a tyrade against the site's moderators? haha

But yeah, i was banned because of this thread if anyone fancies the lulz.

Long story short though...i was banned because of some random and Rose reporting me in the thread. This random who starts acting up for the first time the very moment that Beasley shows up...but i'm sure that's just a coincidence of course.

Anyway, the mods know there's no hard feelings, i saw it coming and was fine with it. Everything's gravy

To CR29 though, his idea about infractions for people "feeding the trolls" is ridiculous. Why should people be punished for feeling the need to defend the site's integrity? Ever heard of the phrase "haters gonna hate"? Well, trolls will troll. Ignoring them has never, and would never make the problem go away. So why not show the bastards up whilst we get the opportunity?

[Darkmoon]

Because while ignoring at least some of them doesn't seem to work,for some it has. We haven't had an issue with several former members for quite some time. And with the ones that do register? They get satisfaction from getting a rise from people. I don't quite understand the mentality behind it, maybe because I get laid on a regular basis, but apparently having people be angry with you on the internet makes you feel good.

Essentially, the more you argue the more they get what they want the more likely they are to re-register and have another go.

[Stu]

To me, the fact that they do keep coming back time after time shows me it doesn't work.

[Darkmoon]

Yes, but we normally get a few days or weeks before they do. I've seen on sites where troll baiting is allowed the trolls just resigning instantly, every time they're banned.

[Stu]

Don't get we wrong i'm not saying we should allow it, or that we should actively encourage it, just we use our heads when it does happen. For instance the other night's posts in the banned thread, came about not from me talking to Beasley, but to someone else. That's when it kicked off, and just went from there.

I don't like kindly to anyone that thinks it's funny to make jokes about me killing my own son and posting it on his website as news, as a father you can understand that, and if i feel the need to show these cretins up to be immoral cunts that they are, then i'd take it.

Not saying i'd do it everytime, that would just be boring.

[Darkmoon]

Oh yes. I'd be looking into seeing if he's violated the terms of service for his website and ISP if I was you. I also understand what happened. But he most likely derived satisfaction from your reaction, which I'm sure is the opposite of what you wanted.
