Re: Forum uproar
@nomko: While you probably live very close to here, it is a pity you are not answering for all the FUD, trolling and other provocation you regularly bombard us with. But a set of titties is what gets people banned...

Re: Forum uproar
@Hallvor...unlike nomko, I accept full responsibility for my actions, and this one was a clear and intentional breach of forum policy, for which, since I meant every word with every fiber of my being, I fully expect and will gracefully accept the inevitable consequences. I have no wish to be part of a community which encourages the sort of online behavior nomko espouses.Hallvor wrote:Why? Anything wrong with what he just wrote?nomko wrote: Reported.
Re: Forum uproar
I sure post a lot of nonsense. And i sure engage in discussions which are not worth it (which are pointless).
I feel guilty of being of the ones who have made the level of this forum low. No kidding here, i often think about that
(it was ok for a while, as there have been more posts by people more clever than i am).
I will try to change that. In case that is necessary i will stop posting. Ok for me.
That said:
What i see might be wrong. It is only my opinion:
There have been "actions" against longtime-users with an amazing level of knowledge, because they are not of the
liberal kind.
They speak plain and clear, and they do use "bad language", especially if someone asks in a way which is not ok.
That made people who ask in a strange way feel they would be doing ok.
The experienced long-time users think, of course, that it is not ok to edit/move/remove their posts.
Of course they do re-act if such things happen.
I will not go into further detail, i guess the point is clear.
I don't want to discuss it, but it might be worth to think about it. A second or two.
That is what i have observed.
I am trying to find another way to see it, but have failed yet. I do so for several days (rather weeks).
I might well be wrong. But i can't change it, the forum-policy, anyway. So it is not so important what i think.
greetings

Re: Forum uproar
I do agree forums have changed since I registered (Maybe few days before you, nomko), but have you asked yourself why?
Just click 'View your posts' in the header (It is below the logo, in the line after User Control Panel) and look at your posts. Many people have tried to help you, but you seemed to be ironic, arrogant, you nearly wanted of them to type it for you in your terminal, or click it in your window. And when someone says to you 'That is not ok, you should have done this before you posted' you go 'Go **** yourself, this is Debian forum for godness sake' for example. Would you get mad and start pissing off someone for such words? Of course, so would I. And now again here you are, starting thread like this one, just to piss off some users again, to get some other angry etc ... When are you going to grow up? We're all going to hell aren't we? Well, here we are!
I never wanted to reply to threads started by people who can't tie a shoe for yourself, but rather ask someone else to do it for them, but here I am. I agree with JohnDeere630, he had all right to answer like that, and I am behind him. I never replied to one of your posts, but even I am tired of just reading them. I am also off, thanks to idiots like you. Mods, just go ahead, if needed I'll take my punishment.

Re: Forum uproar
Now I've been here for only a short while, but feel compelled to state the following criticisms:
1. I'm sick of magic posts that vanish without a trace and without a mod even mentioning that they removed it.
2. I dig in the archives reading old threads to learn and have found the level of expertise of the members here amazing. That they be banned over really, really stupid things (or people) is a disgrace.
I realize the mods are not wrong in their actions - merely enforcing the forum rules. But perhaps the forum rules need a bit of altering?

Re: Forum uproar
this thread makes me want to stick sharp sticks in my eyes.
for the recored -
I have never received anything but sound and sensible advice in this forum.
I have never been "flamed or attacked."
I don't generally participate in "drama threads" (this one being an exception).

Re: Forum uproar
Let me try to be serious here. I take exception to the OP's thesis. The atmosphere of the entire board cannot be judged by a few flame wars in the Discussion section. The real work of the board is in the Help section. There you will find knowledgeable people trying to assist others with many issues. Most people who come here asking for help, receive it. One thing I have noticed is that every thread that the OP starts or posts in eventually turns into a flame war. I know that my sarcastic responses do nothing except throw fuel on the flames. I'll do better. Enough said.

Re: Forum uproar
Maybe the mods/admins, instead of having a pop at Penguin Skinner for stating what is as plain as daylight, should deal with people like Nomko by excluding them. He/she/it has done very little except try to annoy people since joining.
This thread was started by Nomko, who gave it the title "Forum uproar" and after one sentence launched into the usual tedious flames and insults, not as a reply to anyone because this is post 1! but apparently simply out of habit, and all the while accusing everyone else of doing something wrong. And a mod steps in a defends that????
If people like Nomko can carry on with this bs repeatedly and almost continually then what will be left when everyone who doesn't want to spend time with idiots, or clearing up the mess made by their cretinous advice, has stopped checking in? Maybe just a small crew of twits giving rotten "advice" to unsuspecting newcomers?
People like Nomko drag this place down. Don't sanction someone for calling the asshole and asshole. Do something about the asshole.
