You currently have zero active infractions, zero expired infractions and zero warnings. That might be why you can't find them :p

They should show up here: http://forum.team17.co.uk/member.php?u=4196 (only viewable by mods and the member in question)


If you want some infractions, then please let either me or AT know :D

Also, you should get a PM when you get a warning or infraction.

My trolling (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=620146&postcount=15) has driven HackerMan to the edge, he sent me a PM:

SO **** OFF ASS HOLE!!!!!!

oh no you gonna get me banned now.... ha ha ha ha

I think someone's just jealous that they're not liked over here.

And, while we're on the subject of grammar nazi's (somewhere) - I think we should make Hackerman write out 100 times "I won't use no double negatives"

So, I decided to search in the gtagaming forum for HackerMan, turns out his username is HaK. Anyway, although he'd been ranting and raving about this forum for a while now, it seems he only joined..... 2 days ago.

This info is of course, not interesting at all, but hey, I thought I'd mention it. Once he's had time to settle in we'll take a look back and see how people find his posting habits shall we?

Let's call it HackerWatch.

[Paul.Power]

Now hold on a minute, guys. Not everyone's a Fwd. Adm. People do die unexpectedly. I mean, two of my coursemates died within days of each other a month or so ago, don't forget. There's nothing to suggest HackerMan is actually lying here, so I for one think this should be taken at face value.

Not a Team17 Forum thing, but still relevent.

Over at GameFAQs, in the contest forum, there was a thread asking "What's the age of people voting L-Block?" with a choice of four options:

1) Under 13
2) 13 to 17
3) 17 to 20
4) Over 20

I replied, saying "4." Because, y'know, I didn't need to say anything else (I know this doesn't stop me normally, but anyway)

I then got modded for trolling, resulting in the knocking off of ten Karma and a two-day posting restriction. Hang on...

So I contested this.

Message From PaulPower at 2007-11-05 09:20:22
The thread gave a multiple-choice question asking the age of people who had voted L-Block, with age ranges 1) Less than 13 2) 13 to 17 3) 17 to 20 4) 20 or more I was answering the question by saying that I was in category 4. I was not stating that my *age* was 4, which is highly unlikely. The moderator should have taken the thread's initial post into account when moderating the thread. Alternatively, you may feel it is the topic creator's fault for using entrapment.

Aside from missing out a full stop between "more" and "I", I felt this was reasonable.

This was the reply:

Message From GameFAQs Moderation Staff at 2007-11-05 21:06:41
if you feel the topic creator is trapping people, mark him and explain how. Your post appears to be underage, but it was treated as a moderator troll, hence the warning and not a suspension. Feel blessed.

I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Aside from anything else, the posting restriction means that I can't visit the Contest board to find the post, and even if I could that thread would have disappeared by now into the massive turnover that board is generating due to the whole L-Block thing. And then there's the fact that, frankly, whoever moderated that is as thick as pig**** for not understanding the context of the post. "Moderator troll?" What? There was a question, and I answered it honestly by saying that I was in category 4 of the poll. If you aren't going to take context into account, then you're a lousy moderator, simple as that.

I know a lot of people consider GameFAQs posters to be the dregs of the gaming community. I didn't realise this extended to their mods as well.

EDIT: Sod this, I'm taking this up with the Lead Mod (leaving out the bit about pig****, obviously):

Even if I could visit the Contest board, that thread will by now have disappeared under the massive turnover said board is generating due to the whole L-Block saga. But this is a side issue anyway. I don't know whether that thread was entrapment or not; personally I am inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. My major grievance is the way that the context of the thread was not taken into account when moderating my post. I stated the true fact that I belonged in Category 4 of the options offered: a cursory glance at the first post in the thread would have ascertained that the original poster was looking for age categories, not ages. Perhaps I could have been a bit more specific, and said something like "4) Over 20 (I'm 22)", but within the context set by the topic creator my post was a sincere, meaningful message that violates none of the rules quoted above, and 98% of readers would interpret it as such. I appreciate that GameFAQs is a large website, and that your moderation staff have a large amount of work on their hands, but context is everything when moderating. I could just shrug the issue off and "feel blessed" as it was condescendingly put, but this is a matter of principle for me.

why the hell are you posting on gamefaqs

more importantly why are you getting so worked up about it

[bonz]

Hm, on the other hand, Don Quijote de la Mancha didn't give up fighting the windmills...

[Paul.Power]

Message From GameFAQs Moderation Staff at 2007-11-06 06:07:56
We're specifically told to moderate anything that looks like a claim of being under 13, even if it's 1 or a fetus claim. It's not a matter of principle; it's a matter of complying with federal law. Look up COPPA sometime.So anyway, I'm not allowed any more appeals.

Of all the... well, words fail me.

why the hell are you posting on gamefaqsBecause a) it's simpler than having an account with a different fan-forum for every single game I like, b) not everyone there's an idiot and c) L-Block. Although it must be said, now I'm questioning why the hell I post at GameFAQs if the mods are going to be this silly.

more importantly why are you getting so worked up about itFirstly because it's bloody stupidity from people in a position of authority. Bloody stupidity on its own I can tolerate, but I was under the impression that moderators had to, well, think before they hit the moderate button. Maybe I've been spoilt by having people like Andrew and Thomas as mods.

Secondly because I wanted to join in the celebrations of L-Block's victory on the Contest board, which I've not been able to do. By the time I get off this status, it'll all have died down. I've also not been able to post anywhere else, because I'd already hit the "Warned" posts-per-day limit by the time I received the status (that was mildly amusing, though. "You can only post ten times a day on this status. Your current posts today is: 33 out of 10").

Well, I think we know what all Novembers Peripheralses will be about...

Now there's a thought. Last night, after typing this up, I was thinking, "dammit, if only I had some blog-like thing to vent my frustrations in!" Didn't think of RealVG. Although it wouldn't be all month. One article, maybe.

This forum takes a strict view on piracy, as I'm sure you're well aware. Stiff action is taken when people promote piracy of games, either through direct or indirect methods (although posting a direct link to a pirate version or a no-CD crack will result in a permaban, giving vague hints about where to down such a thing will result in a temp. ban)

Although it would be appreciated if people reported posts through the usual method ("Report post!" link) rather than posting in threads like this.


If you're not happy with OD and wish to have your access removed, please PM me and I'll try to sort it out.

[worMatty]

I was talking about everything up to the post mentioning piracy. Mocking someone in secret for making a mistake, or discussing how to get someone banned is what we were criticised for last time.

Well, given the crappy implementation job Microsoft did on the Start Menu, backsing the win+r cmd enter keys is much easier and faster. Especially since I for one use the run prompt for sod all else so I only need to press three keys most of the time.

In case you didn't follow the infamous "Make the Series Better!" thread, Shadowmoon was near constantly switching between liking the modding idea and hating it with a passion.
He doesn't even really know what modding is.

I swear that some of these people are trolls. It really does seem like they're doing ridiculous things on purpose.

[Akuryou13]

*slams head against desk until forehead resembles pudding*

[Melon]

All shadowmoon wants is for someone to agree with him, or tell him that his ideas are the bomb. He must never achieve this.

He said he hated modding, but now he says he loves it only because he has nothing to talk about because his thread was closed and his ideas were dick.

Make sure you all refer to him as Shadowmoron.

EDIT: How odd. Although he's most likely lying, his profile says he's a 27 year old Tesco Manager from Cardiff. I mean, if he is lying, then Tesco manager hardly seems like the sort of thing you'd make up.

[KRD]

My imagination isn't elastic enough to envision a young adult typing out those forums posts. :eek:

But yeah, a lying 11-year-old wouldn't put that under occupation, surely. I was quite taken aback by the profile when I checked it. Which, by the way, I had to do before calling him Shadowmoron because last time I insulted someone I didn't know they turned out to actually be dyslexic and I felt a bit bad afterwards.

[Melon]

You have no respect for newbies at all. My threads are not useless. In fact your threads haven't gathered enough popularity to beat my popular thread. Are you saying your better than creating threads than me?
And... wait for it... 8 minutes later:

You MtlAngelus are a person you think is cool, and you think you rule. But you don't rule at all your not cool. Nobody is. You think that you are far better than anybody else. You will laugh at me, a newbie because my threads are rubbish. You think your so cool you think you are the king of the forum but your not.

Just for everyone's information, there actually ARE 2nd-Person parts in games, they're just rather rare.
The only one I can think of right now is in Metal Gear Solid 3. When fighting The End (a sniper), sometimes it will show Snake through The End's sniper scope. Seeing the player character through someone elses eyes = 2nd-Person.
Or as Yakuza would say, 1st-Person.

anyway, as I've said before, it was a nickname from a friend of mine that I'd recently been given when I registered. I was rather fond of the nickname back then. the 13 is known as an unlucky number, so I figured it went well with akuryou (which means evil spirit).

now I go by Xelioth if you haven't noticed from my recent accounts everywhere. that one comes from Eternal Darkness's Xellotath rune that I wanted to use as my name, but decided to use a variation of it to make the name less generic. ended up with Xelioth after sitting around thinking of other ways to spell a similar word.

Oh come on, is Plasma really that bad?

...you'll probably say "yes", but eh. :p

People can mildly annoy me sometimes, but it doesn't rile me up that often, and I rarely get to the point of "LEAVE AND NEVER RETURN".

[bonz]

Oh come on, is Plasma really that bad?
Nah, he became much more sensible.

And so did Franpa actually.
Aww, where are the good times that you could slap a franpa alert on almost every single post of him?

[thomasp]

I think we need some Shadowmoon alerts....

Infractions just don't seem to be working :p

I suppose franpa alerts will suffice. We used them for other people too in the past.

[Pigbuster]

Could we give Shadowmoon the custom title "Waffler"?

Because he is one heck of a waffler. :p

And then people wonder why we used to have a 16+ rule in place. :p

And don't give me the "oh but i was plenty mature before", if you really are you can just lie about your age without raising suspicion.

I don't think we ever did have such a rule. I remember 11 year olds running around back in the Silver Age.

They were just saner back then.

Actually, Mtlangelus is ruining the whole thread. Mtlangelus worms is realistic enough, don't ya think? I think the worms look fine. By the way, this is about another X360 game, not realistic worms. Do you read the Title? Mtlangelus didn't add anything to that thread except for silliness.

What? I just made your thread more popular, show some appreciation! :(

No you didn't. Show some appreciation to you? and why would i want to do that? Anyway back to the topic. I think that the next X360 game should be a game and not be downloadable. What do u guys think?
And Mtlangelus wheres my appreciation? And this isn't really a bad thread. Its actually quite good in my opinion.

Your appreciation is in my additional pants pocket. Only, it doesn't make a bit of difference guys, the balls are inert. :o

Seriously, a full retail game on Xbox360 is not a good idea, not the right type of game for it I think, would be a lot better if they release another Xbox Live Arcade title, with plenty of upgrades (surely they could do something a lot better with the new size limit?). They could even port W:ASO there... maybe... probably. :-/

edit: Well only because I made it betterer.

It is a good idea. Maybe it could be a downloadable one. Fine, lets talk about a downloadable worms game instead of a normal game.

No dude a normal game would be a lot better. Seriously. They could make a 3d game and take advantage of the Xbox360 power to make the terrain a lot more detailed and the deformation a lot more smooth, with realistic physics. :cool:

XD
:p

[bonz]

Do you think that volcadmin could edit Shadowmoon's name and add an R in there? (The 10-character name limit would have to be disabled for him though.)
The next time someone makes that joke and he objects, we can tell him to read his name again more closely. :D
Even more interesting, volcadmin can fill the empty user name if he wants to.

Ohh!
That's why his name isn't in bold letters and has no link to a profile.

I died laughing when I saw that, especially Shadowmoon's reply to your final post. This reminds me of a Simpsons quote:

Lisa: "Be careful dad, you are the very highly suggestible type"
Homer: "Yes Lisa, I am the suggestible type"


I wonder if we could fool him into thinking that he's not actually posting on the forum and its all a figment of his imagination?

yay i got an infraction point

Unless it's volc or other t17 staff, in which case please tell me when I'm going too far because my ott sensor is quite broken after having to deal with idiots all day at work.:o

How many people outside of OD have joined this fad?
How many people drew their own P.P style avatars?

14th, according to the infractionlog. Always assuming of course that more points aren't earned :p

I'd recommend switching back a couple of days before, so it doesn't look too suspicious ;)

[worMatty]

You lot are cruel. Instead of coaxing idiocy you should be challenging it and educating people, not making fun of them. You may have thrashed it out with whoever you're bashing this time on a thread somewhere, or consider infractions suitable 'education' and deem your efforts as acceptable, but have any of you spoken to this person privately over PM to explain to them why their behaviour is wrong?

I know you're just doing your job, Tom, I have no specific beef with you.

[Melon]

When he first came I was laughing at him, but I soon made a point to shy away, and haven't mentioned anything since. I even made him an avatar.

I remember when Basti@n made his SpyWorm comic. I rofled at that. A lot. People, myself included, started making fun of him quite a bit, but I suddenly got hit with a bit of a guilt trip. I just suddenly felt people were being harsh. OK, so he needrd to learn, he really did, but I didn't think we were going about it the right way.

Actually, despite my Forum News, I do feel we've all been a little harsh on newcomer idiots lately. We still seem to be quite harsh to Plasma, and to be fair to him he hasn't done much wrong lately, he's certainly better than he used to be (I'm having to look back at old posts here, can't say I was around at the time). I just get the feeling we're beginning to hound them now.

Maybe we should lay off for a while, and see how it goes. If he still acts like a muppet, then carry on.

I'd say this is the pinnacle of forum idiocy

What advice would you send to this person?

Take note that many people took the time to respond to the thread to say "dude, he SAID powerpoint"

Other people tell shadowmoon all the time why things he says and does aren't very smart and it just makes him really mad

In fan art especially rules are being enforced strictly, including thomasp even quoting portions of the READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD thread to people just to make it that much easier

I haven't really been following this thread and I don't know what's happening with other posters like yauhui or tal05 but shadowmoon and poninja i think are the current two most annoying posters and I think we're helping them both, I haven't really been keeping up with the thread, but the latter seriously may be beyond it, besides simply needing to learn the english language better

[worMatty]

Out in the open, in threads he's posted in? If his behaviour is tackled openly, in public then it's more likely to make him become defensive. Has anyone tried talking to him in private?

He may have had a hot exchange or two with mtlangelus but I don't think anyone has messaged him with helpful tips

This is probably because, let's not kid ourselves here, teaching a 12 year old to not post stupid things on an internet forum is probably on the lowest priority level imaginable

PMs aren't going to help the problem.
