If one fights fire with fire, then it will only spread a fire, eventually causing everything to burn...

Even if it is your solution, try a better solution, so as such won't happen, it might not work the first time, but some of the Mods are usually reasonable.

We all don't want things to go down in flames, yeah?

It's funny, but there's a video game character who's methodology is "the ends justify the means." He got the death penalty for murder, I believe.

But in all seriousness, the only person on the entire forum who can detect proxy use is dark52 himself. So if you suspect an alt, just go to dark or one of us privately. Other people on this board do that all the time.

OK ... so, I'm back from my little 'vacation'.

First off, I apologize to anyone in this forum that I have offended unintentionally.
In the future, I will attempt to be less abrasive, but I do also ask that users accept that it's just part of my personality, to a degree.
I enjoy wit and sarcasm, and have little regard for pleasantries and superficiality. I also have little tolerance for polluters and thug trolls on internet forums, and my weapon of choice is to "fight fire with fire".
I accept and understand that many prefer the "don't feed the trolls" method of dealing with them, but it is not within my nature to be that passive. I also realize and accept that some less observant or less analytical users may therefore perceive me to be participating in the trolling, and I can only ask that you accept that I am combating the trolls, even if my methodology puzzles you. And that brings me to my second point ....

I was right. "John 3-16" was obviously a troll alternate account, and at the risk of sounding glib, I figured that out before the moderation staff did. Even when I posted my (accurate) accusation in this thread about "John 3-16", a moderator (sorry to point you out, "HIR") spoke up and basically said I was wrong about "John 3-16". To his credit, somewhat, "HIR" came back later and acknowledged that I was correct, even though he still criticized me for my methodology in the same breath. Well, here's the way I see it: the ends justify the means. And to be blunt, the moderator staff on these forums is quite mediocre. You can take that as an offense, if you wish, but that would be unproductive. You could, instead, take it as honest, accurate feedback. It doesn't mean I dislike you (meaning any and all of the moderators) personally. It means that, in my analysis and opinion, ya'll are quite fortunate that there aren't more aggressive and nastier trolls among your ranks of users on DarkSpyro. If someone like this "X-Treme" guy (a.k.a. "John 3-16") has people rushing to defend him and state how "cool beans" he is, then I'd like for ya'll to take a step back and accept that maybe, just maybe, ya'll are more naive and more easily deceived that you'd prefer to think you are.

The truth is, whether you love me or hate me, you can rest assured of two things:
1. I can sniff out trolls and internet thugs more quickly than most people. It's a talent, and I'm not going to bury it just because it may offend some people's sensibilities. I don't want to be recognized as a "Batman" type vigilante of forum justice, but if the shoe fits, wear it. I'd REALLY appreciate it if the moderator staff here would agree to work WITH me, rather than just "Gnorc'ing" my account every weekend. I'm far more reasonable than what most people (moderators included) here probably believe.
2. Don't waste your time believing/inferring that I hate you or dislike you. If I have reason to believe that you're trolling and deserve to be unrelentlessly shamed (e.g. "John 3-16" or "UncleBob"), you WILL KNOW it ... it won't be subtle and you won't have to guess or vainly infer anything. That said, the VAST majority of users here (both young and old alike) are likeable friendly positive people. I wouldn't hang out here if I didn't like ya'll. And so if I do come across to you, personally, as too abrasive or too blunt or intimidating, please remember that ... I do NOT hate you ... and if you happen to be easily offended or can't handle being teased a little by a stranger, then just send me a PM and say, "hey man, I feel like you were being mean to me in {insert thread here}, so leave me alone, ok?" ... and I'll leave you be (unless you're straight trolling like "John 3-16" was).



I laughed really hard at that last part

@ wspyro: solid post, overall; thanks for your support and advice. I must clarify that I do not believe that I possess extraordinary abilities. However, I do process information mentally much more quickly and with greater clarity than the vast majority of people. I don't consider that bragging; it's just a truth. Some people are taller than others, some people run faster than others, some people jump higher than others. I think and analyze faster than others. If you don't believe me, that's fine. If you do believe me, that's fine, too. The point is: I'm not going to pretend that I'm someone who I am not just because you (or anyone else) is more comfortable believing that everyone's the same and it's not feasible for me to be sharper/quicker/better at processing mental information and analyzing observations. That doesn't make me a better person than anybody else ... it just makes me better/faster at figuring things out and reading between the lines ... much in the same way that being taller than average and more coordinated than average tends to make someone a better basketball player than most other people. How I choose to utilize that talent/gift/skill is my own business.


@ HIR: no offense taken I hope, but I don't really see any humor in a person receiving the death penalty, even a fictional character. Putting that aside, the reason I was ticked off at you earlier is because you made a point of denouncing my accusation against "John 3-16", which I perceived as either a de facto vindication of "John 3-16" or an admission that you simply "blew me off". The former should have embarrassed you (upon later finding out that my accusation was correct), and the latter is irresponsible for a moderator. I wasn't looking for an award or a medal, but the fact that you either suspended my account or didn't recommend not suspending my account over the weekend tells me that you were making emotional decisions, not rational ones. And that, once again, is irresponsible for a moderator. Would a small apology really be too much to ask? If so, c'est la vie, I guess.


@ most every else that responded: don't be a wuss. No one should feel like they "need shelter" from the Skylanders section of the forums. That's really lame. Compared to the vast majority of internet forums/boards I've participated in over the years, this forum is generally docile and starkly innocent. There's a lot of great information shared in the Skylanders section, and occasional interesting discussions. You just have to be willing to engage in a community that goes beyond superficial warm-fuzzies and hand-holding and "LoL's". You're free to spend your time wherever you wish, but if anyone is avoiding the Skylanders section because it's "too rough" or "uncomfortable" or whatever, then you're going to have a really difficult time in life; the "real world" is a hundred-fold harsher.

HIR Diamond Sparx Gems: 9034
#4459 Posted: 14:45:11 26/11/2013
The main reason I suspended you was not for attacking X-Treme. I'm sorry if you think that's the reason and I'm sorry it seemed like I rushed to defend X-Treme. I thought he was another one of our religious users, although I was a bit suspicious of how quickly he warmed up to older members. If you had mentioned your argument with him in the Skylanders board, I probably would have marched straight to dark, because X-Treme liked to cause trouble there in the past.

But I mostly suspended you for your multitude of insults in the Thoughts on Users topic. You do not normally come to this section. The fact that you went to that one specific topic and made backhanded insults at people you either have a history of strongly disliking or barely know around here is what ultimately led to my decision.

Now I know you're going to say that none of those were insults. But most of the people who posted in the topic perceived them as insults, including me. If you don't have legitimate, constructive criticism to put in that topic, my recommendation would be not to post there. It's not that hard to exercise restraint. You seem to do it with every single other topic on this board. What's one more to avoid posting in? You're not going to burst into flames if you avoid it, I promise.

Ugh, fine. Fair enough. You must admit that the timing of the suspension definitely gave the impression that it was due to the situation with "John 3-16". But I accept your explanation.

In my defense, you're correct, I don't believe that my posts in "Thoughts About Users" were insults. But more importantly, isn't that thread in a section entitled "Stuff and Nonsense"? Does that not give the impression that it's a forum designed for goofing off and cracking jokes? It's disappointing to learn that so many users there are so thin-skinned. Why not change the name of that section to "Warm Fuzzies and Unicorn Rainbows" if that's what it's supposed to be? I would rate my so-called "insults" there as teasing, at worst, for the most part. But I digress; I'll leave the thin-skinned overly-sensitive folks in "Thoughts About Users" alone from now on, as you requested.

Oops, was that a "backhanded" insult? My bad. ;-)

Probably because the previous version of this, Spam Central, WAS for goofing off. But back then, Idle Chatter was actually more active than the spam board, and used for relatively serious conversations. Stuff & Nonsense now overlaps with Idle Chatter AND video gaming. <.<

^ It's probably also because the title of the section (Stuff and Nonsense).

Nonsense: (noun) conduct or action that is senseless, foolish, or absurd; impudent, insubordinate, or otherwise objectionable behavior

Is it really that odd that people would perceive that "Stuff and Nonsense" is a section designed for foolish an/or objectionable behavior?

If that's not what the section is for, then what the heck is the section actually for? And should the section not be renamed to avoid confusion?

Ahem. The camp sorta sucked. Couldn't get a proper shower, so was sandy and wet. Also got sunburnt. The food was gross and, as always, the tents were uncomfy. I DETEST the people I was sharing with, and also all the other girls. I hate the girls in this country. At least the boys actually like me in a friend way smilie Just did a six hour hike up a mountain. As soon as I got back, I ate. SWEET RELIEF.
