trolls of the world begone

category: general [glöplog]
Good work. The only people who really get enjoyment from trolling are the trolls, so I'm sure this place will be more fun and creative now.

How about the animal cruelty, goatse and rotten pic posters though? If you're cleaning this place up, it would be nice to have it safe for work.

but who are the trolls and who are those with simply a skewed point-of-view not in agreement with the everyone else? i have heard ShaneTheFaggot called a "troll" many times but, although I don't agree with a lot of the crap he says, he instigates some interesting discussions on occasions.

LCF is another example. I guess he is the ultimate troll, yet his obviouse lack of a grip on reality is sometimes facinating.

So who are the trolls and who are simply individuals not in line with everyone else and does Pouet want to become another boring conformist site where every user is affraid to express himself? frigtenend to step out of the line dictated by moderators. pouet wont be the same if things go down that road.

keops: As always I am fascinated by how merely my being present does enrage you. What I said is true. Ban too many people and you will have a lot of sockpuppets in the database. There are around 1000 TOR nodes online at any time. How are you going to IP ban them all?

Pouet does just reflect the development of the demoscene. It is not a timeless movement of the youth, it did grow up together with the people that formed it. Face reality. The same can be observed at demoparties. There are many people who are nowadays lacking the time and/or motivation to actually create demos but they still feel associated with the demoscene. You see those people being drunken at demoparties around the camp fire. And the same people appear at the pouet BBS.

Yes, there are some annoying trolls. I really hated Nitro2k1 for his spamming for example. But on the other hand a lot of the trolling holds a spark of truth. Instead of banning all posters that ever posted something off topic or something that annoyed you (too easy), you should rather think about a better BBS system that can more easily cope with less interesting threads.

Sealthz : it does not enrage me, I just share people's feelings here.
Read this thread carefully and see how people appreciated that you and some other trolls got banned. Most people want a Pouet about demoscene, that's why they usually came here for in the first place, not for you being a constant buffoon. Thus, they congratulate PS the day he takes action at last. Strangely enough, I had nothing to do with your ban and did not even talk to PS recently. You should meditate on that.

Pouet is not a kindergarden. We're here to deal with demoscene material and share what brought us here, not to babysit you every single day and give you the constant attention you seem to require.

keops: He banned me because I asked for it out of spite...

Sorry, I still had to lol at your last sentence.

Here's an idea: act like sane people and stay at pouet. Horray.

Keops: I think you should also read the thread carefully. There is quite a number of people argueing the other way.

<3 Simply awesome.
Well, you should reban LCF already, i'm pretty sure he'll start his bullshit again.

I would also point out that while every even semi-popular forum has its own trolls and idiots, the idiocy on Pouet has reached heights rarely seen even on the Net. Many of the people banned now would've been banned ages ago on other forums.. and because there has been no limits set before, we've gotten pedophiles, schizophrenics, social ineptitude on cosmic scale and so much inane banter and attention-whoring that it defies belief.

Also remember that whether we want it or not, Pouet is probably among first sites that any prospective new scener will visit. Having a gazillion topics filled with shit, trolling and people with Internet Personality Disorder (a disease in the head some people have that makes them act like three-year olds, post disgusting pictures, make multiple accounts and generally annoy the shit out of everybody except other people with IPD who take it as a challenge to do even worse) is not a good calling card to outsiders. And the worst trolls do not produce anything, they just ruin it for everyone else. Yes, BASS is fun to a certain extent, but only so far.

Show me ONE forum which is fun, not moderated in any way and free of spam, and I'll reconsider my position. Until then, I'll be happy.

LCF is all but funny, he's the biggest asshole on this planet for me, and for quite a lot of persons on pouet.

Preacher: Where have you looked so far? Your local church BBS? Have you ever been to Slashdot? /b/? or worse?
added on the 2007-11-11 02:10:17 by Sealthz Sealthz
Slashdot I read daily, and I think the discussion there is mostly either 1) fun or 2) interesting once you filter out the trolls and retards. As for /b, the whole point is to be retarded.

Why are you here instead of 4chan?
added on the 2007-11-11 02:15:05 by Preacher Preacher
Sealthz you're an annoyance to most people here, just face it, you represent what drove me away from pouet.
added on the 2007-11-11 02:17:06 by rez rez
Because 4chan is for underage retards?

I like the post voting thingy with an option to hide "evil content". That's probably the most democratic solution. "If you don't like it put at the end of the plate."

Preacher: I quite like pouet. It's fun, not moderated, and apart from that guy selling valves, it's free of spam. So there's your one forum. You might not agree, but then that's just it, isn't it.

As for Pouet scaring off prospective sceners, I for one think Pouet is a fairly good reflection of demo parties, with their psychotic Polish people, Metalvotze, loud SID music, people working on stupid projects, people shamelessly promoting themselves and their projects, the ridiculously filthy toilets, junk food that actually really makes you sick, the occasional glimpse of what's under Nosfe's skirt, and all that. Of course there's more to the scene than that, but then there's also more to the Pouet BBS, if you actually try to take your palm off your face every once in a while to see what's happening amidst all the noise.

Steohawk was just some random troll, I think we all got that, probably one of Shane's alter egos. But even assuming he was an actual person, he was thoroughly driven away when the mob collectively decided he was out of line. That should tell you something about the nature of the disorder from which all these "trolls" suffer.
