I just wanted to get a few things off my chest quick. Besides being Marsh8472 and darthy, I also had the username darth_benson which was an account I used to agree with my points posted as Marsh8472.
Supposedly I was banned the first time because of this:
That's okay, I reported all your pictures at http://mmg.photobucket.com/albums/CaptainChewbacca for random reasons and your myspace crankygeologist account for pedophilia too. Maybe you'll learn something about being a reporting little bitch when the staff on those sites are done with you. Damn you're fat on top of dumb. Although I doubt it would be safe for you to be on top of anything.Also, your vid has been reported to photobucket for containing copyrighted material owned by paramount in violation of their Terms of Service.
User CaptainChewbacca became frustrated with me and basically tried to get my youtube and photobucket account suspended because of it. I knew where his myspace and photobucket were but I was not able to think of anything good to report him for. I then told the board that I reported his stuff for pedophilia and other random reasons. But this was not actually true. I knew that if I had done this for real that nothing would have been done to his accounts anyway. So I figured if I just said that I did it then it would have the same psychological effect as actually doing it.
Back in the "Fully Built Borg Assimilated Death Star II vs Star Wars" thread, Darth Tedious made this post to me:
i replied with this postThe Starfleet Technical manual refers to the effects of phasers on high settings as 'disintegration', and the TNG Technical Manual describes it as 'disruption'.
then he saidThe Technical manual isn't a valid resource anymore than you would consider the star trek encyclopedia valid which does say they vaporize.
Technical Manuals. Two sources say it doesn't vapourise. One says it does.
The truth is that I don't have access to the Star Trek Encyclopedia. I was bluffing with that statement. Although I'm sure it does say phasers vaporize (as it did in tech manuals when I checked). Fortunately he didn't bother to look and just took my word for it. However, I did order the 3rd edition of the star trek encyclopedia a few days ago.
It looks like I was banned this time for "trolling and idiocy". I looked over your rules and am pretty sure I did not violate them besides lying, ban evasion and all that other crap you didn't know about from my Marsh8472 account.
I think new users should be made aware of the unwritten rules around here if you don't want to be banned:
1) If you're in favor of star trek over star wars, don't argue aggressively to no end and don't argue against every single point. You'll either come across as knowing too much or smug.
2) If you're in favor of star trek over star wars, pretend to be dumb here and there by making points that you know are wrong and easy to debunk. The idea is that hopefully the other side will point the mistakes out to you then make sure to concede quickly to those points so they feel good about themselves. Example: say something like Intrepid class starships are a lot bigger than Galaxy class starships. Hopefully they see you're wrong and prove it to you. It's important to concede SOMETHING for their sake.
3) If you're in favor of star trek over star wars and you see people dogpiling you, don't expect a mod to come to your rescue since odds are they'll probably join in on the dogpiling before long. Instead either stop talking or concede whatever it is they're expecting you to concede then move onto something else.
4) If people become very frustrated with you to the point where you're about to be banned, start making digs against star trek to make them feel better. Example: "star trek phasers suck! They wouldn't even scratch the paint off of a star destroyer even if its shields were down!"
5) This forum likes the harmony of thinking that star wars is better than star trek. It's okay to create a few ripples to disrupt that harmony but not tsunamis. Argue against them with caution if you don't want to be banned.
Overall, I'm happy with how things turned out my second time here. I knew they'd find a reason to ban me again. It lasted longer than I thought though. My first time here I only managed around 150 posts before being banned and this time I broke that record and got up to 185 posts. I also broke my old record of longest thread before being locked of 10 pages. This time around, I got a thread to at least 15 pages and it hasn't been locked yet.
When I come back next time I'll try to follow your written and unwritten rules more and make sure to hide my identity again.
