Enough to keep everyone entertained?

Scrolling through the HOS shows that we've had six bannings in this one-month period. The split is four from April and two from May, so far, not including the general trollery which expected to wash ashore after Ep. III comes out.

Looks like another banathon...

Aw, man! That's another one I missed. Oh well, seems to have been over quickly.

That was brief. Did I miss the prior showdowns?

Why do we seem to only get the half-assed American-built trolls, instead of the fancy Japanese ones that can last more than a dozen posts without buckling?

The prior showdowns are all right here. I don't think there was too much of a buildup.

Trinity was a bit lame in the "falling in love" thread in ARSE, but I think that's about it.

And here we have an example of the 'attitude problem'. Usually brought on in certain people by alcohol, but sometimes an innate trait of the troll's personality. This particular one met its entertainingly messy end by repeatedly firing flames point-blank range at the Emperor after she responded to a warning she was given about spam and rudeness with flames of a distinctly catty bent.

On a 1-10 scale
Offensiveness: 5. Catty as she was, it wasn't really too remarkable
Trolling Duration: 3. This one decayed pretty quick
Stupidity: 9. C'mon, flaming and insulting the Emperor. Can you say 'death wish'?

Was it definitely a chick, then?

Yeah, It was only a short while ago that Assassin X was ditched in Banathon III, and that was two and a half years into the board's history. Let's not cheapen the term.

On another note: there seem to be quite a few members with a zero postcount, and by "quite a few" I mean over 300, most of which joined only very recently. Isn't this a bit of a unsafe state of affairs?

(When I joined five and a half months ago there were under 2000 members, now there are almost 2400).

The "falling in love" thread where he/she/it bitched and cried about how there's no such thing as real love and how people who think they're in love are delusional or some other shit like that. Sounds like a prime candidate for the AYVB, and hopefully s/he/it remains a virgin.

Ummm, why doesn't her title say banned? Is she still around or does the site wait for an update, oooor, what's up with that?

I think the Admins need to specifically change the title.

huh.
I guess I read her posts differently than most of you - didn't really see anything ban-worthy there.
Must be differences of interpretation.

I was ***** typing that (in fact I still am) so I really don't know definitively.

I counted at least three.

* Style over substance bullshit, i.e. acting like a whiney little bitch when called a "fucktard". Insults with substance are not forbidden here, particularly when you deserve them and moreso when they are delivered by an Admin as a warning.

* Not cutting his/her losses when dumped in the HoS, but continuing on the same track. See, when an Admin gives a warning, there is a good reason for it. Trinity got several, and continued bitching regardless.

* Accusations of staff abuse of power w/o proper procedures (i.e. starting a flamefest indtead of PMing and Admin).

He/she/it was in direct violation of the rule concerning flaming the moderators for doing their jobs, which basically reads "don't."

Fucking brilliant Trinity. Glad you got yourself banned rather then us having to put up with your attitude for a while.

All the trolls are coming out of the woodwork. In two weeks, both Star Trek and the Star Wars sextology will be over. I expect a few crash-and-burn trolls for a few days in may.
