i wasn't talking about dark10x to be clear. the problem posters should be pretty obvious

you can't have a gaming forum that isn't properly cleansed from time to time, and while I'm not talking about making posters live in fear I am talking about ensuring that public humiliation of willful idiocy is encouraged.

Not really...it's never serious business to me on EB, so I'm kinda surprised MAF got ticked by something.

The living in fear is just a nice side bonus, kind of like a reacharound.

who gets to decide what constitutes a proper cleansing, and what is willful idiocy

who is god number one

that smacks of elitism, and i want no part of that kind of nose-thumbing internet power tripping

jesus, i've been called a surly crank, but i think i'm one of the most open-minded people on the board

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #66 on:** December 05, 2008, 11:49:13 AM »

Being open minded is fine up to a point. That point is when you look around and realize that you're setting in between a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow and a nazi.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #67 on:** December 05, 2008, 11:50:23 AM »

"cleansing" sounds pretty naziesque to me, dude

Not if those being cleansed are nazis. Or distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. Or nintendo fans.

just a clarification-

nothing wrong everyone having their own opinion
everything wrong with letting people state their opinion without being accountable for it. and on eb, that accountability sorta seems to equate to "being mocked and made the butt of jokes". Or just butt jokes.

and gaming forums DO get shittier over time as they get bigger when people can't cull the cranks, fanboys, irrational haters, and other miscreants over their posts. I just think on EB that shouldn't be done as much by moderators (where fear of losing posting access is the key motivator) as it is by everyone posting calling the offending poster out on their bullshit (where fear of loss of respect is the key motivator). The latter is far more preferable IMO.

As for the verb cleanse, well, EB can't be EB without going a bit over the top. I'm also one of the most intolerant people on the board in all likelihood, which makes dropping something like that all the easier.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #73 on:** December 05, 2008, 12:03:39 PM »

I thought everyone was already calling people out on bullshit, which turns threads that could have gone over okay a year ago into big flamefests that MAF is disgusted by?

Aren't we just overreacting a bit? Is there really FLAMING and FANBOY shit going on here? Could you point me to the thread? I don't think anyone is a serious fanboy or prick here.

I dunno, whoever sees a problem here should just name names

I only hope that whatever purge it is, it is as Stalinist as possible.

Bildi · « **Reply #82 on:** December 05, 2008, 06:37:26 PM »

I don't really want to see a cleansing.

People can be annoying but it's the first step towards the farce that gaf has become. Or something.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #83 on:** December 05, 2008, 10:39:53 PM »

Becoming like GAF would mean to ban everyone but noobs, shills, lolcat types, and those who are fortunate enough to avoid a banning.

"Contrary delusional bastards" should be our new motto.

I certainly fall under that category.

See, you're having delusions of your contrary delusionalness. like, or something.
