Should ACK be banned?
type: item
description: nowdays every fucking topic, that ACK(*gasp*, i said the A word! ) posts in turns into a flame war, and its as if hes doing it on purpose, going though peoples posts searching for a spelling/grammer mistake & commenting on it if we were that concerned about our spelling, crimson would of installed a spell checker onto the forums, but has she? NO! :rolleyes: he dousnt even play renegade even more, & he thinks it sucks, so why is he posting here? because he enjoys ruining threads its practically impossible to have a decent thread in here without it turning into a flame war about how its Nod not NOD :rolleyes: http://www.renegadeforums.com/search.php?search_author=Aircraftkiller i think that link speaks for itself

That's right, I have RESTRAINT and I don't add to the flame wars. I just find the hypocricy of these types of posts/topics to be quite funny. You're the ones who ADD to the flame war, and then call for someone to get banned because you guys don't have enough self-control to stop yourselves from contributing to the flame war. Congratulations, you're all a bunch of whiny children who, when can't fix the problem by themselves, run to the closest authority to get them to fix the problem for them.

If he didn't make asshole remarks and correct everyone on everything, then MANY more topics would stay on track. Like I said before, these forums are becoming a joke simply because of the sheer volume of threads that go off topic because of him. It is sad to think that he is a total nuisance, that many people want hime gone and yet at the same time, it is already decided that he is not going to be banned. That is like giving him permission to do whatever he wants. If it was up to me, I would opt to preserve the quality of these forums rather than keep him around. :rolleyes: As for the ignore feature, it isn't going to be any use untill almost everyone ignores him. I have him ignored already, and others do to, but threads still go off topic because of his posts.

How about we ban people with annoying and crude signatures? How about we ban people who do not use the letter "e" once per sentance? How about we pay homage to minipeace, because that's about as full of crap as you are. When you get those three things sorted, Nightma, ask again for ACK to be banned.

He just cares about himself and thinks hes always doing the right thing. What good is he doing here? Thats what you have to ask not is he annoying, retarded and fucked up. If he wants to be that way let him. Why keep him around though if he won't contribute?

By adding him to your ignore list or having enough restraint as to not fall victim to his (easily avoidable) trap then this thread wouldn't be needed. Instead, you're blaming HIM because YOU can't stop yourselves from replying to him. It takes 2 to tango.

Maybe you should think outside the box and look for the motive behind his actions rather than just his actions. While I'm not him, I'm pretty sure that his whole point of annoying people is, again, because he can do it with little effort. One little sentence somehow forces 10+ people to respond to him. Instead, you could just skip over his post, and then what he said doesn't even come into play. Then again, that'd actually take restraint.

This place called the Renegade Forums has been home to many of for many years. There are not many of us here left that were members on the official WW Renegade Forums but there it was no different either. I was actually banned once from those forums because of fighting with ACK so much. My nick was Creed3020 and I re-registered as Creed3022. I might have "learned my lesson" but I learned that certain individuals will always hold more weight with who is upstairs then you will and there is little to nothing you can do about. So I continue posting where I can helping others out where others have not been able to. You may dismise the ignore feature but it will help you start to build up a tolerance to what goes on here in one of 6.22 posts.

She's the one who is causing me to fail because she's the one who is giving me the homework, so obviously killing her is the perfect way to get out of failing.

description: Sorry, but it seems overly apparent that there are extraneous circumstances which preclude those in power from having any sort of "control" or placing any type of restraints on the actual person at fault. This reeks of a new-age child psychology exercise when you use the words "enabler" and demand that others simply ignore the offender. When a kid steps out of line you smack them on the butt and demand that they stop their behavior, you don't pass the blame on to those around them because then YOU are becoming the enabler. If you have no desire to enact consequences for actions because the offender is a friend, simply say that instead of pretending that it's everyone else's fault. At least then everyone will know where you stand and can shut up and move along. Quote: If he made things so horrible, then why do you still visit here? Look at my post count. Warranto: Instead of telling everyone it's their fault for not being able to ignore it, why not at least publicly tell Ack to shut the fuck up and knock it off? Remember that thread we had a while back regarding favoritism? This to me is a shining example. Instead of passing the blame on to everyone else that can't ignore him, why not admonish the person responsible for their actions, and let them know that it really isn't appreciated? Like I said, your passive acceptance to the behavior is more enabling than any response to his posts could ever be. So the question is, is everyone who hates the game allowed to just stick around here and be a prick on purpose? or only friends.

description: This topic is dedicated to banning Aircraftkiller, we're just giving the opposing side. Is Aircraftkiller being annoying? Obviously, or else this wouldn't be an issue. The thing is, it IS about restraint. If people didn't pay attention to Aircraftkiller so much, he wouldn't have the desire to keep up his actions for long because he's no longer getting the desired effect and attention he's aiming for. Should Aircraftkiller and others like him be repremanded for their actions? Sure, but it shouldn't result in banning them because a bunch of people can't ignore him and his posts.

description: IRON FART OK then. Tell me: What is ACK's reason for coming here to annoy people? Did you ever go on irc to seeif you could get banned? Did you ever laugh because people were getting annoyed at you? I did when I first got the internet. Iwas young then, he's still doing the same thing. He's not going to get banned, get over it. I appreciate that he really pisses a lotof you guys off, but I do also realise that everyone responds. The moment he posts something it turns into a flamewar. If his comments sway off topic, ignore them. I like the way that he's even managing to laugh at this now by posting using only his last page of previous posts, the link to which was posted on here. Look at this, a 4-page thread on getting him banned, and how early on did you say he will not get banned Crimson?

description: It's not favoritism... I didn't and haven't banned deadfive for posting twelve million topics about his stupid website. I constantly let Vitaminous be an ass and a useless member of the forums without banning him, and I really don't like the guy at all. I let SuperFlyingLiberal stay on here even though I think he's an idiot and a waste of perfectly good oxygen. It's NOT favoritism. I don't feel it's really my place to ostracize anyone, especially the game's most prolific map maker, from the closest thing to the "official" community that we have left, unless they blatantly break the rules. Do I wish he would stop the childish, constantly, quite OLD derailing of topics for asinine reasons? You bet I do, and my hints like changing his nickname haven't helped a bit. I don't know when he'll get the message.

description: msgtpain When a kid steps out of line you smack them on the butt and demand that they stop their behavior, you don't pass the blame on to those around them because then YOU are becoming the enabler. If you have no desire to enact consequences for actions because the offender is a friend, simply say that instead of pretending that it's everyone else's fault. At least then everyone will know where you stand and can shut up and move along. I quite agree with you here, on the official forums people got banned for this but the moderators didn't know who they were banning. They just knew they were fans of the game who were being jerks. creed said he got back in under a different name and was allowed, but the original idea is there: someone steps out of line, they get banned. The argument of favouritism: I think it exists everywhere; in work, school, college. I know it exists in my workplace anyway. But can you really blame the admin for being more of a friend than an "all powerful admin" when they were previously a member of the official forum and got to know people there.

description: I also don't agree with this idea that it's everyone else's fault but Aircraftkiller's. I mean from what I can tell, one thing that we're all agreed on is that we think it's stupid behaviour and we'd rather it didn't happen, right? Well, most of us at least. Anyway, even if we did as has been suggested and ignore him, what is to stop him from continuing regardless? Besides which, from my perspective, the people who are asking him to stop are doing because of a desire to see the forum function in a pleasant and civilised manner. Aircraftkiller is posting out of a desire to annoy people just because he can... and also I assume because he doesn't care about the consequences of his actions with regards to other people. So run this by me one more time... it's perfectly acceptable for Aircraftkiller to act like he does, but everyone else is in the wrong for behaving like a good society does... and that would be trying to enforce what is the generally accepted code of conduct (i.e. morality, treating people with respect, whatever you want to call it)? I didn't realise that when we think something is wrong we should just ignore it because it will go away on it's own.

Amusing in that people have been getting into stupid arguments with ACK since Ren came out, and probably before that, and they STILL haven't learned to just ignore him. Which is even more incredibly fucking pathetic considering that there's an ignore feature now. And when something is THAT pathetic, one just can't help but laugh their ass off at it. :rolleyes:

There have been a few times where it all kicked off because a Newbie came in and wondered why this aircraftkiller was being such a dick to them. What are they going to have, an FAQ telling them that they should put him on their ignore list right away... it's not their fault, they just don't know any better. I would rather any one new can start off ok, until they - fit in - or make an ass of them selfs. I'm not for banning, I just like clean and relatively friendly forums.

description: msgtpain Warranto: Instead of telling everyone it's their fault for not being able to ignore it, why not at least publicly tell Ack to shut the fuck up and knock it off? Remember that thread we had a while back regarding favoritism? This to me is a shining example. Instead of passing the blame on to everyone else that can't ignore him, why not admonish the person responsible for their actions, and let them know that it really isn't appreciated? Like I said, your passive acceptance to the behavior is more enabling than any response to his posts could ever be. So the question is, is everyone who hates the game allowed to just stick around here and be a prick on purpose? or only friends. Why do I suggest that it is their fault? Perhaps because it IS their fault. This is a forum where words must be written to respond. If it were completely verbal, it would be much more difficult to have someone hanging around mentioning stuff. In such a case, I'd be more than happy to tell him to shut up. However, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, there is an "ignore button". If you don't want him to interrupt topics, hit that button. It's quite simple. It takes two to start a "fight" (or in this case, detract from the topic), if Aircraftkiller is to be blamed for it, then so is everyone who entices it to continue. The blame goes both ways here. Since you enjoy bringing up events from real life and applying them to this, Imagine that "bully" who keeps stating "Common, fight me!", over and over again. The only way a fight is going to occur, is if someone acts on that. Sure, that bully may be to blame for enticing someone to the fight, however just as much blame goes to the person who decided to fight. Heck, if you actually WANT me to though, I could start showing favortism. Perhaps then you'll have at least a valid claim to complain about. Until then, get off this elevated position you have given yourself, and realize that YOU are as much to blame for your off-topic comments re…

Please explain. Oh, and if you need to jump on my "high horse" and prove you can play favorites, go right ahead. Quote: In such a case, I'd be more than happy to tell him to shut up. However, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, there is an "ignore button". If you don't want him to interrupt topics, hit that button. It's quite simple. So let me get this straight.. just so there is no missinterpretation on my part. If we were talking face to face, what ACK constantly does would warrant (no pun intended) a response of "shut up" from you. However, since we have another feature called "ignore", it is our fault if he continues, and there is no reason for you to tell him to "shut up".. Did I get that right? Since we're in to "real world examples" lets have another.. If my daughter sees a mans 10 inch erect cock on the side of the road, it's her fault for looking at it, and we should just ignore the person standing there nude, after all.. she has a neck, she should use it.
