Have I become an evil fascist?

What you do with your private life is not our business.

Quote from: Elliot Wilen;227897Okay, I found it--it's at the bottom of a pretty long and busy web page. I'm not sure I'd have seen it if I'd lost my password and was wondering how to get posting privileges back.

But the circumstances here don't really leave much doubt as to what Mr. (or is that Ms.?) Douchetard was about. For that matter I see that Pundit did post his warning (though without spelling out the consequences) over twelve hours before the sockpuppet's last post.

All I needed to see was the similar "RPGdouchetard" puppet account someone linked from Animalball to pretty solidly convince me.

Quote from: Fritzs;227848Anyway this is result of sad state of 4chan and other shit sites where trolls usualy posts...

So is this "The cancer that is killing theRPGSite"?

Current Status of 4chan: currently still down after about a week or so of 3-5Gbit DDoS attacks. Can't wait for school to start up again. Half of the US geek population is either hitting F5 all week in their basements, experiencing the outside world for the first time in a good while, or closing the pool on other sites.

I voted no.

You're not a fascist when the jerk starts out on the wrong foot with a handle thats giving the text equivalent of the bird to a poster on here - even if the poster happens to be you, Pundit.

If you want to have an unmoderated site, let it be unmoderated.

Sock puppets and personal insults are hardly a big deal.

It's not spam, and it's only "disruptive" insofar as anyone lets it be disruptive.

Quote from: RPGPundit;227744Please vote, because certainly if it turns out that I'm actually an evil fascist for having a banned a guy who was an admitted sockpuppet and who's name was made exclusively to act as a permanent insult to another poster (note: that other poster being me!), and who was clearly created and present on the site for no other reason than to act as a constant attack on another poster (note: again me!), if it turns out that banning him means that I'm "No better than RPG.net" and an "evil fascist abusing my moderator powers" it will no doubt affect the future of this site.

You did well banning that asshole.

If anything, there isn't enough moderation here. What's disappointing is that you haven't moderated other repugnant asshats and haven't toned down your own rants, which at times are way too venomous.

The most blatant example is that you actually managed to tolerate a self-admitted pedo far, far longer than this latest troll.

That, Pundit, is unjustifiable and fucked up beyond belief.

I never said you were an evil fascist, but I think it was not well handled.

Kyle Aaron · July 25, 2008, 08:48:14 AM

Nobody is perfect, but everybody learns from their experiences, Saphim.

Well, except the military.

James McMurray · July 25, 2008, 09:37:27 AM

Given that you banned me from off topic for having the temerity to piss you off, and also insulted me, changed my avatar into something more befitting your apparent tranvestite fetish, and then hid from me for a long time so I couldn't properly defend myself, I had to vote yes. I don't know anything about the Tor thread, and have never recieved that sort of childish abuse at RPG.net, but it was the best answer available to me.

But I assume you'll just ignore the poll anyway unless it ends up vindicating you, in which case it'll be added to the bragging list for whenever you need to puff out your chest and admire yourself.

One Horse Town · July 25, 2008, 09:46:20 AM

To be fair though, James, for a short while there you were even more stalkerish than Mike S. Having had an internet stalker myself, it isn't much fun. Gladly, you and pundy seemed to move on! :hatsoff:

Admitting mistakes and willingness to learn are core prerequisites for learning though, both of which pundi has not shown in his online presence. On the contrary he rationalizes each of his mistakes away and the kettle on this forum say yes and amen until he believes his own lies.

JongWK · July 25, 2008, 10:15:12 AM

I voted no.

EDIT: And I should add that this particular poll shouldn't be anonymous, given that the issue at hand is the presence of sockpuppets.

Saphim · July 25, 2008, 10:19:36 AM

I agree. I voted yes even though I wouldn't use the word fascist pundi worded the poll in a way that only very few people would vote yes. In and of itself another failure at moderating.

Mike Jones · July 25, 2008, 10:24:23 AM

I had to vote no. I think your handling of the RPGdouchetard situation was... well... douchetarded, but you are clearly not a fascist. Just overly sensitive and capricious. From what I know of RPGnet, your style of moderation is clearly less restrictive than theirs. I may argue with you over some points, but at least you allow me to argue with you.
