If what you said about being hounded off every other forum you've been a member of is true and not just an exaggeration then it may simply be how you conduct yourself and not simply because people are out to get you.


For the record, you'd made a lot of unsubstantiated claims about the Statue of Liberty and the perceived links with the Freemasons, I know that I and others took issue with that because the way you seemed to present it was that that those Freemason details were fact. You effectively dismissed the accepted idea of the statue, that it was a gift from the French to the Americans and it was for the American Centennial and effectively comitted the cardinal sin you've been accusing other people of committing here, dismissing an opinion just because it differed from your own.

I apologise for getting worked up over it, but you must keep in mind that I and other people love the statue and presenting such a radical view without the prefix of mentioning it was simply your opinion would almost surely guarentee a overly negative response.


As for this topic, a lot of the negative feedback was probably caused by people viewing you as being a hypacrite, a person viewed as a spammer creating a topic about what was and wasn't spamming. I'm sure you can understand how it would appear to people.

Re: [RANT][META] F*** YOU

I made sure to give hmghosthoost a hard time because of how much of a hypocrite he is. He loses his mind if anyone says that they dont support his theories (or if he REFUSES to look and see if it has been posted already) He calls people NAZI but he is constantly telling US what we are suppose to do or not do.

But i leanred something. I think he is getting off on all this attention. If he is a consipracy theory loving type of guy , then this is fueling his fire. "THERE OUT TO GET ME! SEE? I KNEW IT!" I say, dont let his rants get to you too much and dont post back, and he will move on to something else.

By the way The rules are clearly defined for Unfiction. The Mods can edit your post whenever they fill it's appropriate. This isnt your forums. When you visit someone elses home, you have to abide by thier rules.

Now flame something about Nazi and Communist not allowing you freedom of speech.


(The proceeding has been an opinion only by Clownnation. This no way refelcts the views or opinions shared by the Moderators or users of Unfiction and it's forums. Anything said by Clownnation should be considered "cool" but not nessessarly hard stone fact. It is simply the way Clownnation sees the world. Clownnation honors people's opinion, but is a STRONG believer in that you have to stand for what you say. If you say something, be ready to back it up. Thank you and enjoy your stay here at Unforums.)

I think everyone has said thier peace. I say let it go, and start fresh. Dont be confrontational. If you have a wild theory, or any theory at all then please, by all means post it. Just tell us why you feel that way. Dont cry and whine when someone says that they dont see it that way. Just say your peace and movie on.

(but try and look around first to see if it's been discussed already, it waste too much bandwidth to repost, and then to catch flames about your reposts, when we could be helping each other look for the answer)

Just know, that not everyone is going to share your theories. but others will.

In other worlds, game on.

To be honest, the influx of trolls over the last few weeks had me ready to drop this game/forum altogether. After making what I thought was a sincerely helpful post, I dutifully ignored them, but found that they'd invaded the threads with their ineloquent drivel like some out of control ebola virus. I'd like to point out that when the offenders were banned, both had already posted many, many times in an extremly short period of time, which made it almost impossible to "avoid" reading their posts. I just gave up.

I'm just pointing this out because it's not the conflict or flaming or controversy that would make me stop coming here, it would be checking the threads and seeing 20 illiterate posts per day that are absolutely worthless in terms of value to this game. Not to mention that the bulk of them were incredibly disrespectful to this group as a whole on so many levels- blatantly disregarding the rules, ignoring the helpful attempts to guide them in the right direction, not showing readers the respect of at least attempting to spell things right or even form a coherent sentence, and assuming that their theories were by far the most brilliant and important ever posted.

Like any social setting, there are rules and etiquette here, and if someone completely and blatantly disregards them then - like in the real world - they're going to be vilified by their peers, especially when they don't respond to good faith attempts to help them fit in. I'm not sure the solution is to prevent this completely normal interaction from occurring or try to pretend that it won't happen. A more realistic solution would be to let the forum members decide whether an alleged troll should be dealt with or not, like a trial by jury. Not sure how this would work technically, but that seem's like the fairest way to do it. I think the vast majority of people on this board are sane and rational enough to where I would be comfortable with any decision they rendered.

In any event, I want to thank whoever decided to ban the offenders, because that sorely needed to be done. That's the only reason I'm here posting now, otherwise I'd be outta here, shaking my head in disgust.
