And you think ACK doesn't encourage conversation? If he made things so horrible, then why do you still visit here?
|
Because he is only one out of the many people that come here. I'm not going to stop because of one annoying person.
Also, don't presume that he makes anything so horrible that I'd stop coming here. He probably thinks he's really getting to me, but the truth is that he is just a really really annoying pest. I still want to visit these forums, but I don't like hanging around somewhere where there is some 20 something year old loser who hangs around trying to piss me and others off.
If I add ACK to my ignore list, then I will have to add everyone who replies to his asshole remarks to my ignore list also.

Answer??? Am I wasting my time talking to you or is there any hope of doing anything about ACK?

Ever think as to why he does? Maybe you should think outside the box and look for the motive behind his actions rather than just his actions.
|
Hold on - There is a reason for annoying people?
LOL
|
Perhaps it's us who are not getting through. The ignore button is there for a reason, use it. If Aircraftkiller goes off on one of his tirades, ignore it. If people start responding, and the conversation goes way off course, ignore it. Let them have their own little discussion.
Remember, you contribute to the derailment as much as he does when you reply to the topic.

but what happens if he derails a topic you start and you arent the one replying to him and its the others that are doing it? Make another topic for him to de-rail? Personally, I don't like making topics that ultimately turn into flame wars or a discussion on vocabulary or grammar. It gets old people. Ignoring him won't make him go away unless EVERYONE does it. But we all know everyone won't.
|
Example of the solution. (Slight exageration,, don't take offense)
gbull: "Hey everyone! NOD stole the stealth technology!"
j_ball430: "Wow, where did you learn this?"
Aircraftkiller: "It's Nod, not NOD"
Nightma12: "Shut up ACK"
Aircraftkiller "It's Aircraftkiller, not ACK"
gbull: "I found it on the website for Tiberium Twilight"
IRON FART: "Shut up ACK, stop derailing the topic"
j_ball430: "wow, interesting"
Aircraftkiller "It's Aircraftkiller, not ACK"
gbull: "It is interesting"
-END-
In this example, the topic was derailed. However all those interested in the topic ignored it, and the original discussion remains intact.

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.

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.

We should put that to the test. I don't play Renegade that much anymore, and I can be a complete asshole when I want...

The ocean is a several million year old fish tank that hasnt been cleaned and taste like sweat. Sure those things suck but that doesnt make the ass whipping the waves give you any less fun.

The only time this was a problem was when he was a moderator on the mod forums....simply cause he was deleting post's and replys.
I just don't see the fun in getting him banned.....Trust me you'll miss arguing with him if he's gone....It's sort of like that idiot you pick on at work or school, once he's gone you dont have that person to pick on anymore.
