Either that or they're really good trolls. In any case something needs to be done.

Stop by the channel some time Disco, it is more overwhelming there than it is here.

Sadly no, these are not trolls but authentic people lacking the ability to think.

I've just taken Tox's advice from day 1 to just tell demongod to shut the fuck up every time he says something really stupid.

I'm seeing some stupidity, but I'm also seeing a lot of unwarranted cruelty. If you don't like someone and want him banned from the forum or whatever, then complain to Yak. Calling people names and obscenities doesn't boost your moral authority.

[Hoping this doesn't include myself] I agree that they should be banned or put on some sort of probation.

Aside from 1 post, Ive been pretty nice to Demon, he makes some occasional points ~~

However some shit that hesayd is retarted.

Even so it needs to be controlled a bit.

I'm starting to delete posts which contain just profanity and no content. I'm less then happy with some extents of harshness displayed but as long as they're meaningful in some way I'll let them stay.

And if its throwing a thread off topic where the original topic isn't already exhausted i'll be deleting those threads as well.

It's possible he's a comedic genius. Even accidentally so.

just start giving people a temp 1 day ban when you have to delete their posts for profanity & no actual content.. otherwise they won't learn.

Nah. Just postwipe. That's what they do on the Bnet forums and it works.

  There's an old forum saying, and here's how it goes, "it's really quite obvious, don't feed the trolls," otherwise your provocation shows. When we all know a flame war blows. Why make a reply like this? Meh, who knows?

There are plenty of places on the internet to have intelligent conversations. This is the only place on the internet that affords you the great opportunity to merge with the quantum singularity known as Clan EotA. It's kind of part of the hardcore gamer persona to be aggressive.

That said, it's a bit unnerving, ain't it? But if we made the forum for intelligent people only, it would kind of alienate the very people who use it.

Bumping this for obvious reasons.
The stupidity didn't leave with Demongod.

Couldn't agree with you more.
