Child of Flame Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Can some of the powers that be just get it over with and ban Epiphany? Half of the threads in Computer and Console are his at any given time, all of them are Xbox 360 hype. He just pisses everyone else off, knows full well that any threads he starts about the Xbox 360 aren't going to be recieved well due to his track record and continues to make them anyway. If that wasn't enough he spreads his propaganda to other threads and flaming follows. I'd report the guy, but he's a really good troll (a fact I have to admire, as it's hard to tiptoe the line with such finesse), and his greatest offense is generally crude but uncensored language and personal insults. Basically what I am saying is he generally contributes nothing to the community other than flame wars and it's getting tiresome. I'd put him on ignore, but then the posts in response to him wouldn't make any sense.
Cantousent Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I'm sorry, fellows. So far I'm the only no vote. My reasoning is simple, just because we don't like someone doesn't mean he should suffer exile. Yes, Epiphany is combative. It's plain to see. ...But so are many of you, including you, Child, and I would never want to see you banned. This is simply not a good thread. It's unlikely to result in the ban you want and I hope it doesn't result in a ban at all. Epiphany is clearly a die-hard XBox-360 fan. He's on a forum that seems to have just as many die-hard PS3 fans. More, if the truth were told. None of this is a reason to ban him. Of course, that's just my opinion and I have a feeling my opinions aren't exactly weighed in gold.

Guest Fishboot Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I vote no. Epiphany is an incredibly strange video game console proselytizer who I generally don't understand on most interpersonal levels and he has a vicelike grip on inanity, but the same could be said of several of his opponents. Besides, there'd be tumbleweeds blowing through C&C without him, now that Ender is gone and meta has slowed down to a trickle of posts.
Child of Flame Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 Like I said, he hasn't done anything against forum guidelines, he just drives me and other members insane and starts flamewars.

Hurlshort Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Can't hate a guy for being a cheerleader. We all need a passion. Maybe he'll tone down a bit with everyone jumping on this. I say "no"
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Thats really upto the mods. Since there are no rules requiring factual accuracy in posts don't think you can ban people just for talking crap. Although her response to Darque was bordering on the edge I think. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
Child of Flame Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 He called me a **** before. The Dictionary says that's a naughty word.
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 He called me a **** before. The Dictionary says that's a naughty word. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Simple enough thats why there is a report button. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

kirottu Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Although his response to Darque was bordering on the edge I think. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought that was almost funny. I mean it was so completely ignorant post that lacked any kind of basis of reality. :D Besides Darque This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Nartwak Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) I vote no. Edit: Being belligerent when discussing stupid bull**** isn't a reason to be banned. There are intermediary steps. Edited October 16, 2005 by Nartwak
Child of Flame Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 Geez, you guys spoil all the fun. And ShadowPaladin, I would report him, but it's not a censored naughty word. That is the difference between naughty and not naughty here, it is why we are allowed to say vagina but not ****!
Nartwak Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 YOU should be banned for making this thread!! I'LL REPORT YOU!!

Musopticon? Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) Potent is right. It's not our call if he's banned or not. But he is an assface of highest kind, that's for sure.
