Escapist users no longer banned

[Gunner 51]

Damn, I fell for it hook, line and sinker. I was thinking the Escapist had lost some damned fine members. (I'd have ended up missing your little posse.)

Dear god man, you're almost as bad as Sleekgiant!

Wait no...Hubilubs the super devil and you are the normal devil.

The fact that, at the time of writing, this thread has over 120 replies says a lot about the general forum population, particularly as this is the fourth thread on the subject I've seen, all of which were at some point in the "hot topics" area of the forum.

Yes, it was slightly amusing (some of them at any case), but does this sort of thing really need "discussing" (I use quotes because I've not seen any actual discussion within this thread) and in such a childish manner?

Add March Madness (one of the worst events on The Escapist) into the mix and you've got two events of, what in my eyes, appears to be an depressing trend in the The Escapist. We've got the rise of the "nanny-state" (Ex: People getting put on probation or worse in March Madness threads over absolutely nothing) alongside the (continuing) rise of the unintelligent, non-discussive forum.

I know, it's great, isn't it?

Your "reply" doesn't warrant its own post (6 words, why even bother responding?). Nice attempt at trolling though - a pity you're not even very good at that...

that was about as funny as ben stihler
that is: NOT

 

[DeleteThisPlease]

Pffff. I figured it out pretty fast, but it's still funny XD

Pitty that I've only been here a short time. If I was around for a while, I probobly would have had a epic freakout when I saw top-tire posters getting banned left and right.

I only noticed you and Furburt missing

*mega snip*

You mean that that whole thing was a gag? You do realize that I actually sent a message to Kuliani because I thought that your "ban" mod post about Spinwhiz having a seizure was real?

Now I feel silly........

It's kind of crazy to think that we actually fooled some people with one of the least subtle gags of all time. 23 well-respected users in one swipe with several nonsensical ban posts on the 1st of April and some people still mourned us? We must be loved.

You never know.

Holy shitsicle, that was epic. I got kinda worried there for a second. Hell, I thought I was gonna get banned for questioning the mods!
