[VOTED] Title for DEATH

Post by Rob Wilson »

So he's escaped banning because it was felt he get a warning in the form of a Title first (Despite ignoring 4 warnings from Mods).

So lets get the Title sorted.

These are :

On Probation - basically to let him know how short a leash he's on.

Village Idiot - Someone that ignores 4 warnings from Mods is hardly an Einstein of the Internet.

Retarded Spambot - He's guilty of Spamming and acting stupid, so let the title reflect it.

Other - You get to make a suggestion in a post here. When the poll closes, and if Other is the winning choice, I'll put all the suggestions in the Closing Post and Mike will choose his favourite.

The Poll will stay open until one option gets 12 votes or 2 days have passed, whichever happens first.

In this case I feel it prudent to warn DEATH that this is his last chance, should he be found to have continued to Spam it won't go to a vote, Mike will decide whether or not to Ban him!

So get voting people.

Couple thoughts:

His behavior certainly has been far and away foolish so I'm going with VI for now. I'd also like to propose that his post count be readjusted downwards to punish him for spamming, the means for doing so I'm uncertain on but I'll leave the motion on the floor.

The admins can enact such a punishment.

He doesn't really debate enought for me to think VI is deserved, he does more pusseyfooting, running away, and spamming then actual debating. And "On Probation" seems redundant, recieving a title is being on probation and thus serves as reminder in and of itself. And I'm of the belief that custom offensive titles should only really go to true offensive individuals. So I'm going with Spambot. I also second resetting his postcount

I'll third the notion of resetting his post-count. As for the title, anyone capable of reading should be able to see that, as he's been up for banning and titling, that he's got almost enough rope to be hung with . . . so "On Probation" is pretty redundant. In these cases, I'm usually one of the first to say "such-and-such an idiot is entirely non-notable, why give such-and-such a special title beyond VI?" Except he's not really the sort to engage in debates.

So, "Retarded Spambot" is my vote.

I voted for "Retarded Spambot" and I very much hope that a postcount resync and possibly additional punishment is added.

Option 3. I would also suggest that he be given a definate time limit to improve himself, he has been warned quite enough.

On Probation.

Why? Because he is. Redundant? Isn't that what spamming is all about?

Some fucktards would see "Spambot" as some sort of anti-award, an ass-backward achievement. He's nothing special - make the title as bland as possible.

Village Idiot. More than enough morons have dealt with the title, so he's in good company. Though, historically, it is recoverable. A few have held the title and then improved their behavor enough to have it removed.

I'm also on board the recalculated post count idea.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

My initial reaction was a Village Idiot, but according to the announcement section of this board, the title of Village Idiot is used for particularly bad debators. As far as this senator is aware of, DEATH has not engaged in much debating at all. The spambot title might be taken as perversely complimentary (there is, after all, a 'Lord of Spam' already), as Broomstick notes. Hence, option 1.

Yeah, he doesn't debate much. A me-tooer, a spammer, perpetual newbie, and all the other things everyone else mentioned, but that's not enough for a VI title.

I'd say "spambot" or something along those veins. Whether its "retarded" or not or osmething else I leave up to others (depending on how patient or nice they are.)

And if you're reading this DEATH, I suggest you take the hint seriously this time and either shape up or leave now. We've never had much tolerance for foolishness, and it probably won't change in the foreseeable future.

Put me down for retarded spambot. This little douche has been spamming the holy hell out of the Justice League forum with fucking pictures and then goes and created a consolidated thread for those picture threads he considers 'less vsisited'.

I'm feeling for my ban hammer but I must resist the urge. Title him.

Poll is now closed, as we have 12 votes in one option.

1. = 3
2. = 5
3. = 12
4. = 0

So the winner is Retarded Spambot.

A note for the Admins, it was repeatedly suggested that DEATH's post count be reset to 0, so you may wish to consider that as well.

The judgment of the Senate shall be carried out immediately.

I have also decided to resync the postcount.
