Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!

Sorry to tell you that I'm not your little friend there. Nice attitude though. You do that to all new members?

I suspect that my attempt at levity not only went over your head, but that you were never sincere with your original comment anyway, if you were you would not have responded, you are obviously here to confront and disrupt, my original response was obvious levity, at least I thought it would be perceived that way, but you have an agenda and as usual you are not able to listen with your mouth open so you missed it.

Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!

Wouldn't be surprised. He hasn't added anything, and the account was made the day after VG was banned. He's just trying to get us riled up. As the age old saying goes, "don't feed the trolls".

Well damn VG, looks like you got another response out of me after all.

Look I don't care who you think I am but you seem to have unresolved issues and gets upset very easily like your friend. I just made an observation that you two took personally. Don't like it? Not my problem.

I bet that's visible green. He has that same diarrhea of the mouth syndrome.

There's no way to tell if it's VG or another returning banned member until they have quite a few posts, some of them would be easy to recognize, but I too was thinking he may be a returning banned member. He is certainly not off to a good start here. I usually don't even reply to posts by new members that have zero info in their profile and no welcome thread, more of you should do the same and not feed a troll.

You have a strange way of thinking. Sure I have an agenda if you count responding to your response.
Is everyone on here as paranoid?

So I have to have a welcome thread or otherwise I'm a returning banned member? This is a strange forum indeed. I'm seeing mass paranoia in just a few members.

Please familiarize yourself with the multiquote button, double posting is generally frowned upon.
Have you read the stickies and rules? It is recommended reading for new members.

Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!

I'd +rep you but, alas, I cannot.

LaserCity
I find your comment to be off topic for this thread, please make every reasonable attempt to refrain from spamming the thread with irrelevant comments that are a distraction from the focus of the discussion, because as you can see your off topic comment has necessitated the insertion my off topic response comment resulting in the aforementioned off topic discussion.
Furthermore I do hope you will garner the restraint necessary to refrain from generation an unnecessary retort to my off top comment about your off topic comment that would only further besmirch this thread with a distasteful and distracting 50% increase in off topic discussion at minimum.

Seems to be a lot of that going around and LaserCity seems to have the opinion that we don't need the rep system, how very interesting.

RE: Post # 22

@lazerman121 I'm no pro but I do not believe vbulletin can support such options. Whatever this rep system is you people should just live without it. Reminds me of youtube members begging for likes and subscribers all the damn time. Let it go. It's meaningless.



I suppose you know how VG was instrumental in provoking the problem we now have, I think he would like to shoot off his mouth with impunity while citing forum etiquette when it suits him, seems hypocritical to me.

Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!

I'm forced to rep noobs now in order to rep someone I think deserves it, but I must admit, I also use up all the reps I can every single day just to use them up from being unhappy with the system in general, but to those I thought most deserving too.

I've seen some noobs run off for doing things considered stupid by bashing them right away with too many negatives, actually, I was one of those noobs a few years ago and left for six months due to getting slapped around by a wet noodle when I should have just stayed, that was back in 2012 and I lost the ability to log back into that account so had to start a new one.

Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!

Did you read comment #22, that's VG, he wouldn't stop his p155ing match with Cyparagon and caused this mess, read back through it, he could have made it easy on himself but he egged it on and on and on.

Even after Cyparagon said he would bend with the times and go easy on everyone VG kept at it and egged it on and on and on that's what led to this change.

Then he negged Infinitus 5 or 6 times in a row, none of this was necessary, now LaserCity says: In post #22

Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!

I thought I was the person who opened this can of worms, I made a post about how that one member was abusing the rep system the way I explained above.

Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!

Knowing a bit of how vbulletin runs isn't exactly uncommon information. Aren't there admins on this forum or is openly harassing other members allowed on here?

Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!

You are a nice guy Alaskan, and that's cool.
But even though Cyp jumped on you once, and you both made peace, you still had VG in your ear about CYP and you were working to unpunish VG, meanwhile he's negging Infinitus 5 or 6 times against a moderator.

Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!

*Sigh*

Let's just revert the system to what it was before.

VG and that other starspaz buddy of his are gone, but there will never ever be a lack of trolls. How about we don't change the forum to suit their needs and go back to the system that seemed to work OK for years and years before?

I agree, I would vote for that 100%
