You lost three times today so far.

I don't understand anything about what's going on but it's the best thing since Finsternis.

I would bet you $20 that, within 3 months of being unbanned, if he is still alive, Paul Robinson will post on this forum.

Care to make a friendly wager?

He's NOT COMING BACK, you intolerant maniacs.

THREAD CLOSED AND LOCKED.

Well, it would be a plug-in for phpBB2.

And I am ASSUMING it just quietly drops the post from showing. If it pulls any of this "HERP DERP HERE IS A POST! YOU CANT SEE IT! CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!" then the plug-in can fuck off.

(Also, Happiness Engine, I aim to send you the Caltrops code at some point. I guess I need your e-mail address first though.)

And I don't know when I am gonna get a chance to go slumming for phpBB2 plug-ins, so this could be months. I gotta send Roody's computer before I do any of this.

(Except for sending Happiness Engine the Caltrops code.)

If the "ignore user" feature in phpBB3 actually works, sure (plus this`ll be the excuse to bring JC into 2010). But I'm with Roody, as I believe my tolerance for Tdarcos has actually decreased since I haven't been forced to desensitize myself to his BS. My issue is also more that I feel personally violated when he trashes certain threads: it doesn't take me that long to read or skip through his pointless diatribes but I have at times taken personal offense to the fact he isn't on topic, adds nothing of merit and his rants take me out of the comfort zone I go into when responding to a topic. I still think he's toxic, misguided, emotionally stunted and that his emotional investment in JC is unhealthy but whatever...

If there was a "ignore user" function, would that make any difference to anyone here?

Offer him $10 and he'll be the #1 poster next week.

(Run it through his legal team first.)

by **pinback** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 7:44 pm

I don't think he's coming back.

by **Flack** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 6:58 pm

It's unanimous, then. Bring him back.

Before the ban, my Tdarcos tolerance was pretty high. It was very easy for me to skip over long screeds and tune out the completely-unrelated. Sure, it's kind of annoying when he derails your own thread, but for the things I really care about, my OCD outweighs his (not that I really have OCD). The other things- like my reviews and what not- well, those threads can wait until the next time I feel inspired to add to them. I mean, they probably would lie forgotten for long whiles anyway.

Still, after the ban, my tolerance was way low and certain things were hard to ignore (not that I contribute to much of the "signal" around her). Between banning and not banning, I'd lean towards the latter, though. The first is just going to make it that much harder in the long run, I figure.

I just don't understand why you can't just SCROLL DOWN. Oh look, it's a three page TDR post about one word in the previous post! SCROLLIN'!

Instead of whinin' 'bout how he's somehow doing you harm.

This. I don't see how it's not the same as intentionally scrolling past ads. It's even helpfully delimited to make it easier to skip posts without even reading a single word! I read EVERY SINGLE POST made here, and it takes me perhaps 15 minutes a day.

by **Flack** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:23 pm

I would be happy with any of these options:

01. Limiting Tdarcos' posts to one area, like on Caltrops.

02. Providing one Tdarcos-free zone.

03. A 30 minute episode, every day, of Don Rogers with Tdarcos as his sidekick. 30 minutes, every day.

Again, Ben: nobody could get any other conversations in. And he's not fuckin' handicapped. He showed no interest in this shit.

Whatever. He's welcome to reply to whatever he wants on Caltrops, and he's welcome to start as many threads as he wants in his sub-forum. If this BBS was threaded, which I desperately wish it was, he'd be welcome to post as much as he wanted HERE as well. It's just that with inferior, flat forums, you can't not get the 8-11 paragraphs.

And also, I am calling bullshit that he posted like this on your dial-up BBS. BULL. SHIT.
