I dont even run a forum, but I know how to unban some one, doesnt take me a week to understand the system messed up and to unban the person.

[Kybo_Ren]

Oh its not the rules that is the problem, Its the fucked up system they have in place, plus most of the admins and moderators are complete idiots
Yep, we're all idiots...

I guarantee you that every single administrator and moderator is smarter than you are. You weren't banned for fun... you were banned because you're a horrible poster, you flame other people for no reason, you're blatantly racist, and you just love to troll.

Nobody was ever confused about the system; nobody couldn't figure out how to unban someone.... Permanent bans are just that: permanent.

Also, the only way the system would mess up is if you had already accrued gratuitous warnings anyway... good riddance to you.

[Limited]

Do you remember the first day the warning system was implemented?

Yeah this isnt probably the place to talk about it, but I'd rather get it out in the open, the actual reason I was account banned. Seeing as many people dont understand exactly why I was. They were spoon fed bs? Plus GBX admins/mods lying about the whole event.

[Kybo_Ren]

I remember the first day the warning system was implemented better than you, trust me. I, unlike you, also have access to all the records.

[Limited]

I remember the first day the warning system was implemented better than you, trust me. I, unlike you, also have access to all the records.:)
So as you will read, I was placed in to the ban bin. Now if you check the logs again, I had to make a thread because Ennui didnt make a topic. I asked in that post why exactly was I banned. Ennui replied with some thing on the lines of "you were banned due to your warning points were over the systems allowance". Funny thing is, it wasnt. I can count, and it was under the amount the system should ban some one for. So I asked Ennui what was happening. She then replied with some thing on the lines of "Oh it turns out, you werent put here by the system, you were placed here by some one"

Which brings me to my next question, why did she lie? No reason to lie.

She then went back to her story of "you were placed here by the system automatically" So I replied with, fair enough as the system is obviously broken right now as I have lower points than the system should ban me for, can you remove me from ban bin.

Did she? Nope, took a week. She said she was "trying to fix the system as it was currently broken."

System was broken, admins lied, admins tried to fix system?

Also, reason I was perma banned was because I was fed up of talking to a bunch of idiots, Kybo do you see the log where I said "forget it, just perm ban me" and thats why I got banned because I broke rules after to get banned. After spidoman though I wouldnt get banned :)

Edit:
I'd just like to say Kybo, I'm not bitching at the ban, I dont care if I'm banned or not. I care that you are lying about the whole thing, for what reason? To proof you guys didnt fuck up?

Edit 2: Also, yeah your "protection" is really good isnt it? Got right in...

Which time is this? Keep in mind you were banned long before (nearly a year) the warning system was implemented. So this is all really irrelevant, since you should've been permabanned on the spot. I don't know exactly what happened, and I would look it up, but as I said: it's irrelevant.


Did she? Nope, took a week. She said she was "trying to fix the system as it was currently broken."

System was broken, admins lied, admins tried to fix system?
Ennui wouldn't lie to you about why you were banned... You have to actually really care about something in order to lie about it. The system was funky for a while (fixed a long time ago), and it is now fixed. Sorry for any errors that occured -- oh wait! You should've been permabanned anyway. Nevermind.

Anyway, what really happened was indeed that the system improperly counted your warnings that had expired as ones that hadn't. She completely admitted what the issue was. If you'd like to see the whole thread again, I can forward it to you.


Also, reason I was perma banned was because I was fed up of talking to a bunch of idiots, Kybo do you see the log where I said "forget it, just perm ban me" and thats why I got banned because I broke rules after to get banned. After spidoman though I wouldnt get banned :)

As far as that thread is concerned, although the original thread's validity could be called into question, your post is black and white.

I saw nothing wrong with the GBX staff. I only stopped going out of time constraints and the fact that a lot of people I usually hung around with migrated here too. Then again, I've never gone and gotten myself banned several times. :rolleyes:

Yea I agree. I never really liked how Gearbox was run. It seemed like it was too strict. Every once in a while I would see people sent to the ban bin who I never thought would end up there. People who have been posting there for years with 1000's of posts. I think Masterz was banned once, not sure. That made me kind of afraid to post anything that seemed even the least bit opinionated in fear of me being banned. Disagreeing with something could be considered a "flame".

I'm glad this place is a lot better than Gearbox. It was time for a change of who runs what.

Now this site gets more traffic than his, and that account is once again, unbanned. Eat it.
+1 again if you count the account that ennui banned after she realized it was the 2nd (active) one that I owned (at the time). I was board and posted a thread in off topic with said banned account then replied to it with my current one.

I think you misunderstand what Gearbox is. The gearbox forums are run by a company, so of COURSE they're going to be more strict (though honestly, we're really not THAT strict). This site is better for just wanking around doing whatever for sure, but Gearbox was THE place to be fore Halo stuff.

You can disagree with anything you want, just no ad hominem insults and you'll be fine.

It's not like he was the first one. Of COURSE a company is going to ban you from their forums if you keep posting crap about how it's bad. DUH :confused2:

IIRC, Nitro was banned for something minor, TEMPORARILY, and then his whole crew came and spammed up the forums, resulting in a permanent ban for all involved.

[Gamerkd16]

lol, this has somehow turned into a gearbox bashing thread. Feels good to let things out. :lol: But yea, because Gearbox is a company and they own other games besides Halo, they don't know who people really are or what they have created. To them, your just a number.

There is some good to the forums. Like if I ever do a search for a particular subject I need help on, I search there first. It has the large archive because it's been around longer.

I personally disagree with the warning system. I think it would be better if we went back to the old system of just banning people if they were out of line, but of course one person ruins it for everyone...
Yeah, warning systems have too many loopholes :|

Basically, you're stuck between possible personal bias (mind you, even a warning system's not immune to that, since someone has to give the warnings), or a standardised system that's easy enough to get around. Personally, I prefer the first.

Also, congrats on the admin-ness!

Yay, he's Admin of a place becoming dead. Congrats.

Well the halo section at least...

There was a lot of work that the GBX moderation staff had to work on. I remember "flame bait" wasn't even a warnable offense until I brought it up in the ban bin. I don't really have anything to say about it now though. Great learning experience though. Stopped going as soon as this site opened up.

I'd use it more if it didn't have such a lack-luster theme too it...

It looks dry, and its very unappealing..

Yea the skin change wasn't exactly successful.

Kittens?

This is what I think of fúćking kittens

This is, of course, spurred by the most mature and innovative members I have ever met in my life. I mean, besides having sex with goats(and with each other, of course) they’re so brilliant that they couldn’t find themselves out of a cardboard box with a dildo with a built in compass in it. Maybe if they shove it far enough up their Ã*śś they could get what ever peanut brain they have in order to not shĩt in their diapers. I’ve met some ignorant immature Ã*śśholes in my life but these children take the cake even beyond a Halo 2 fanboy frothing at the mouth.

lol.

I see your "six and a half thousand posts within a year" campaign at H2V has finally wiped your memory of all information irrelevant to that mindset.


I also hate it when people call me 9mm >:|
But 9mm is a much more comfortable moniker to address someone by than "Limited." I can't stand that alias.

Also, this may sound like a dumb question, and I know how people are going to respond (not answer, mind you) when I ask it, but here goes... how were you such a well-respected member at HM but not at GBX?


You see? If people like Kornman, who have contributed much to the Halo community, get banned that is saying something about how badly things are run.
First of all, Gearbox is not strictly a gathering place for HCE players. In fact, the BiA forums have always been more fast-paced than the Halo one (sans the loldrama of the members, and the wrath of Ennui).

Second, modding Halo isn't a "get out of jail free" card. It doesn't matter how extensively you program, hack, or scratch-build content for a video game; that has nothing to do with how well you can converse, behave, be able to construct intelligent posts in a debate or arbitrate in a shenagan, or be accepted as an all-around affable personage by a community. It doesn't matter how many geeks and techno-junkies inhabit the site; regardlessly, it is first and foremost a forum, an asylum of reason, discussion, and sensible debate... not an anime or Star Wars convention. Fuxxing with computer utilities doesn't add inches to your dick, and that's something many people seem to have a penchant for disregarding.


I stopped going to GBX because of the McGuffin/Texrat/deja_vu circle-jerk that was constantly going on.
Plagiarismo! http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c251/CN3089/Emoticons/emot-argh.gif


I actually found the debates interesting, they just rocketed along at too fast a pace for me to keep up with due to living on the other side of the planet :smith:
They rocketed along at too fast a pace because the hot threads have a new post every twenty seconds.

Why don't you write up everything you don't like in a list and send it to ennui? I'm sure she'd like to get some feedback :)

You can still use the original vBulletin template, btw. Just select it in your user CP.

HM was a nubpit really plus I was a mod there from some time, but I left HM after asking to be demoted because of the scripting fiasco. GBX was different, I dunno why I changed. I think its just the fact I got more patriotic which other people understand it as I dont like their country half as much, which isnt true.

I know I have some haters, but not everyone hates me, right :confused::eyesroll:

No! No flame war in my topic. Rossmum, stay out if you feel the urge to flame.

I said my remark when I was pissed. It ends now.

I haven't noticed anything truly bad until tonight. H2V has been great for me these past two months. Better than gearbox anyway.

[Flyboy]

I disagree and I'll leave it at that. I'll keep your topic running man.

[rossmum]

If you'd been here about 6 months ago, you'd notice one hell of a difference.

[Flyboy]

I've been monitoring these forums nearly from the day they started. I only decided to join this may. I know exactly what your talking about, though I think it's because of different reasons than what you do.

[rossmum]

If that was true, you wouldn't go on with half the bullshit you do.

[Flyboy]

Just because I've snooped around for a while doesn't mean I need to agree with you.

[rossmum]

I never said you did. I meant maybe you'd actually have a clue how this community works, as opposed to wild, unfounded, and downright moronic assumptions all mysteriously involving the members who people actually like (probably something to do with us not laughing at the prospect of dead 6-year-olds) and rep (funny how only those with none or negative rep ever complain about the system, isn't it?).

[Gamerkd16]

I have positive rep and I don't agree with the rep system.

[rossmum]

Yeah, you have hardly any plus you copped a lot of - (or so you say) from that missile pod thread. Close enough.

I have never seen someone with 3+ bars seriously complain about it.

[Scream Thief]

I know I have some haters, but not everyone hates me, right :confused::eyesroll:

Incorrect.

[Dole]

I have positive rep
*Gamerkid is an unknown quantity at this point* :mysterysolved:

[rossmum]

I think that's less than 10, but still positive.

Either way, it's such a paltry sum it may as well be none.

[Roostervier]

Incorrect.
Incorrect. Now shut the fuck up. You don't speak for anyone else.

Also, I don't go to GBX. I used to lurk some, and I think I have 2 posts there, but I don't feel like going there really.

[El Lobo]

I love it how most of you make it seem like you hurt gearbox somehow by leaving it, and are doing h2vista forums a great favor by coming here. :/

[DOMINATOR]

what lobo said ^^^

gearbox is building their own fan base... no need to cry over rude immature kids leaving their forums. notice how some of you are crying about how "bad" gbx is just because you were banned. newsflash they dont want you there.

[SnaFuBAR]

i left when the traffic got really slow for the halo section. there's still some great sections there, of coure, but the repetiton and predictability of certain topics there doesn't help me appreciate it like i used to.

not to mention that, but i think the mods there are so flustered they don't know what they're doing anymore. ennui gave me a non-decay warning when someone was following me from topic to topic, trolling. i told him to knock it off, and i'm the one who got a warning.

[Agamemnon]

This coming from a kid who gets with a group of children who find hilarity in grieving forums.

So what advantages would you say reputation actually brings to a forum then, rossmum?

[Roostervier]

Wait what? You just said I couldn't tell you to shut up, but you go and do it? Nice one, hypocrite. Also, I mostly said shut the fuck up because that was the second post of yours that had only said, "Incorrect." And most of the time the quote was a question going out to all where you answered for everyone else using your own opinion.

[ds-]

Most of the "kids" at gbh are older than you just so you know... and who are you anyways? You seem to know alot about what we find to be hilarious :hist101:

[El Lobo]

This coming from a kidI'm a month older than you. ;) Win, right?

Also, you called us "kitten fuckers."

[Limited]

Why dont the GBX lovers go back to GBX and never come here? Most of the time people who go to both and have more than 100 posts dont post shitty posts.

"omgz like hypocrite 9mm lawlawlalw" that was THEN, this is NOW. :O

There should be a rule here, if some one joins up just to troll, they should just be banned instantly. Thats probably only decent rule at GBX.

[Agamemnon]

I'm a month older than you. ;) Win, right?
Oh please. I've met 50-year-old kids. Age means nothing when it comes to your mentality and your maturity level.


Also, you called us "kitten fuckers."
And? Are you going to cry now? Maybe glorify it some more and raise my popularity with you guys?

I'm going with 9mm on this one. If you don't like this forum, then leave.

[Bastinka]

Oh please. I've met 50-year-old kids. Age means nothing when it comes to your mentality and your maturity level.
Well then, looks like somebody doesn't have enough maturity to know not to be rude or sarcastic all the time. :)

Anyway, calling someone a kid doesn't make you look any more mature then you already are in my opinion. I guess people try to be tough.

Also, I stopped going to gearbox a while ago.

[El Lobo]

And? Are you going to cry now? Maybe glorify it some more and raise my popularity with you guys?I was just saying it's ironic that you would call me a kid, when you've been known to call other members of the community "kitten fuckers." I don't know, maybe it's just me. Also, popularity with my "guys?" I'm not sure who you're speaking of, but I would venture a guess and say that you're far from popular.

[Scream Thief]

And most of the time the quote was a question going out to all where you answered for everyone else using your own opinion.

Ok, well I'm going to put the question to you.

Do you like Limited?

What part of "planned" did you not get before? I would think you of all people would understand planned instances, especially after you "died." The only difference between you and I is that I grew up a while back and you sticked with your group making "funnies" on forums. You talk about how others shit up this forum when you and your band of misfits are the usual cause of problems around here (and CMT for that matter, but that's a different battle).

[Rosco]

I love OT at Gearbox.

This topic is cool

[Roostervier]

Ok, well I'm going to put the question to you.

Yes, I think he's an okay member. Also, I'd say something else about you, but I will be nice enough not to say it. Plus, I agreed not to tell. D:

So, let's drop it at this, so as to preserve yourself.

So, I now apologize. I am sorry.

[Kornman00]

I'm inside the box :downs:

[Gamerkd16]

*Gamerkid is an unknown quantity at this point* :mysterysolved:

Well yea, I did have 15 rep points and then Rossmum just had to go crazy on lower reputation for no reason at all.

I left gearbox because of the low traffic too. I wasn't banned, or anywhere close to a ban.

[Scream Thief]

I sounded like an immature idiot saying that I knew something about you. At least the way I decided to word it. I really just should have said it in private myself, instead of having you pm me.

Yes, it was your bad.

I believe leaving (being banned) from a popular place and then leaving for a new place would more qualify yourself under your "misfits" accusation.
You misfits of GBX.

[Agamemnon]

Considering it was only a temp ban, I highly doubt that. Nice try though. Make sure to make another alt and cause some more grief, ok?

I believe leaving (being banned) from a popular place and then leaving for a new place would more qualify yourself under your "misfits" accusation.

Leaving does not equal being banned. Aggie did not get permabanned, he simply stopped going to GBX and came here, much like many of us did. That makes him more of an immigrant than a misfit.
