Here's how to deal with people who annoy you on the Internet:

ModEdit (Zarggg): Racially offensive content removed.

See it's not even like I feel anger towards him exactly, not really anymore. It's just he's so obvious about the fact that he's an asshole. Like why would you quote a post and say thank you captain obvious? That takes like effort and is completely unnecessary. It is not something I would ever actually say to someone in real life unless real life was like a shitty sitcom from the 90s. And I wouldn't say it because it's really rude. It's not like hurtful exactly, it's just really unpleasant for one person to say to another.

Like, people don't actually treat other people like that in the real world. I mean really immature people do, and those really immature people like to act like "Oh yeah people are jerks to each other in the REAL world get used to it" but like like no, in the real world mature adults don't say childish bullshit to get each other's goats.

And I'm getting really fucking tired of this "Ignore him" crap at this point. Because its always like "You're both arguing so it's both of your faults," but it's stupid because if someone instigates something by being a dick and the other guy defends themselves, you don't blame "Both people" you blame the fucking dick. I'm not even usually the other person involved. But when you say "Ignore him" he basically gets to go on being disrespectful to everyone in the future with no consequences whatsoever, while the other person has to silence their self, because we've just resigned ourselves to the idea of pretending he's not a dick because we apparently can't do anything about it.

I know you think he wins when we respond, and so when we don't he loses, but he doesn't, he wins in every single way shape or form. Because he's not even usually the one continuing the argument, so he's not even being silenced, you're not even really blaming both people, you're literally just blaming the other guy while he gets off scot-free. I get that we get told to ignore him, instead of him being told to permanently stop being a dick, because we're more likely to be the bigger person in that regard, so its the more realistic way to stop the argument. But that basically ends up translating to "He's the less mature person so he's getting rewarded for that by never having to experience any consequences." I mean, does that bother anyone else? That cannot just bother me.

Like he can't even deny that he's a asshole. That's why I say that part doesn't even anger me anymore, cause he's so obvious about it. I'm just starting to get curious, why is he such an asshole. Like literally, what made him this way? Were his parents mean to him when he was a kid? I don't even mean that in a pretentious psychoanalysis way. I literally want to know the real life background that broadly made him into a person who thinks its okay to randomly go around being insulting to other person. He really just thinks people treat each other that way and that that's okay. It's not okay. I know this is off topic but I can't just sit back and pretend he's not an asshole because its more convenient to do so, while he gets off with zero consequences anymore. I can't take it anymore.

@onetruepurple: That's a bit out of line.

Also, banning forum members is the purview of the site administrators. Even if I were one, there is a relatively short list of things that actually warrant a site ban, which include using multiple accounts, a creator posting within a discussion of their own narrative/ARG, spamming, and posting vulgar and obscene content.

As to my own merging and closing of threads, that is simply to keep discussion threads organized. Sometimes a new thread is created that also fits in line with a thread that already exists, or does not fit the intent of this forum.

To use a specific example, the "character shrine" joke threads do not contribute towards the end of discussing in-game events, which is why those were closed. One was amusing, but many are a distraction.

Those accounts have been reported by me to the administrators on several occasions.

By vulgar and obscene content, I mean content of a graphic nature or content specifically intended to abuse or threaten others.

They probably can't ban him. I'm just saying when you say "Just ignore him" you think you're helping but you're contributing to the idea that if we can't stop bad things we should just inconvenience everyone else for the benefit of those perpetuating the bad things. I'm gonna point it out every single time he's an asshole because its not okay to be mean to people. He's this guy who really thinks when one person is rude to another person that's just okay and it's not. And that's really where I just take issue with him.

Even if you can't ban him yourself, surely you can ask an administrator to? Otherwise anyone would be able to go on harassing this forum as much as they like forever. And like the others said, he has posted inflammatory, abusive remarks multiple times, with no repercussions. I could compile a list of some good examples if you really want.

Hang on guys...
This entire page has been about this one inflammatory comment.

I'm fifteen for gods sake and I can conduct myself better than you people.

This is the topic to discuss Null. I don't see much of that happening.

Make a new thread and bitch about people there, but please,

Stay on topic
