Time to reign it in guys

[Lysander]

Seriously, between Maser, the Euro trolls, etc. the Gen Disc. section has turned into a cesspool. This is a major turn off both for veteran members, advertisers, and new recruits.

I hate to admit it but I agree with you 100% !

[Gunreference1]

Unfortunately this is probably why I rarely post in the General Discussion forum. There just isn't much intelligent discussion going on there. Just my $0.02.

Okay, I'll pull a few guys over to the side and talk.
We will see were it goes from there.


Normally, it's a bit slow in the summer months.

I'm a pretty laissez-faire guy, and I've been known to wade into the mire every now and then and slay a couple of these nitwits. But seriously, GD is the first forum most members (new and current) go to. Do we really want them to see nothing but trolls and flames on our own front door?

There's a place for that kind of stuff, and that's down in the RH.

[Dr. Gonzo GED]

Ask your favorite Mod to start culling threads and banishing the trouble makers to the roadhouse.

Heck, just going through and banning the trolls who were banned on the old gunsnet would solve at least the Maser thing.

I'm sure as soon as someone actually breaks a forum rule they will be dealt with accordingly.

Actually......most everyone here has broken the rules set forth by David.

Read this on the register page.

By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

The Road house should now be home to 90% of members.

There ought to be a rule against being Maser.

....and LAGC................

[Blacksmith]

I’ve been spending most my time outside of GD.
Every time I get involved in a worthwhile debate, either Arnulf shows up to spew names and threaten to kick my teeth in. or Krupski jumps in with his Blackshit insult or his Fagtastic four remarks.
It always seems that the ones breaking the rules and causing the problems are the ones crying to the mod’s. :thumbsdown:

[Lysander]

Right now there's no less than 4 active troll accounts on GD.

[slamfire51]

If you guys that were here on the old site, you may remember I almost never posted in GD. This go round I've found it good to interact with members that I would not otherwise. I found out fast who the problem children are.

[TEN-32]

Oh great. We've been back for like 5 minutes and already the shit is flying.

[Dr. Gonzo GED]

I think we need to get down the the real heart of the matter, and blame Bush for it.

[awp101]

There's a place for that kind of stuff, and that's down in the RH.
And to be bluntly honest there's no need for 95% of the bullshit that goes on down there either. Ball busting your buddies on occasion is great fun but so help me, my wife and 19 y/o stepson act more mature when they fight and they're two of the most immature people I know when they get mad.:thsfi_slapfight:

How about user names?

[Lysander]

Names: Maser, Printerman, gun=limpdick, Phil O'Mel, and one other who's name escapes me at the moment.

I'm a new recruit - it's a great site. Just one small matter. You have a militant homosexual running about talking obsessively about bottoms. See here (http://www.gunsnet.net/showthread.php?968-Why-the-brits-hate-us......&p=14237&viewfull=1#post14237) in response to my first post.

I'm cool about it - it reflects well on Gunsnet that you welcome sexual minorities and allow them to debate their interests. But I was a little surprised that my first post - non-trolling, non-argumentative, friendly - was met with militant bottom-obsessing.

Might a quiet word be had with him, explaining that not all new members share his interests?

[NRAJOE]

Whats with all the hating going on?

Just found out this forum is back up today and just about every thread someone is arguing or calling each other homos...etc?

It's weird. My very first post (http://www.gunsnet.net/showthread.php?968-Why-the-brits-hate-us......&p=14237&viewfull=1#post14237) was met with observations about "pushing in stools" and "ramming turds." Can't the gays have their own area of the site to discuss such things?

Don't take it personally. That was just Crapshoot's way of saying hello.

Much like a bull mastiff that want's to hump your leg, it's best just to let him get it out of his system and then invest in some bleach.

Hey Joe, good to see ya back.

[Guns Network Staff]

We are monitoring the level of conversation thats going on and yes our community is more open BUT we will be using the newer functions called INFRACTIONS, more like a traffic tickets at different levels and get two or three of these then your banned for a short time and if you come back and still have not learned, then the banned could be indefinite.

I should watch my Ps&Qs and will. However, Phil O'mel is here to troll only. He's on my ignore list after I saw that none of his posts were guns related. I'm still a newbie but Phil is a troll only. You cannot realistically expect to see his behavior change

[Dr_Scholl]

Oh fuck that sounds like THR. Except they don't give warnings they just ban anyone they don't like.

+1 Phil just made my ignore list too.
Joey is next.

As the saying goes, if you don't agree with the rules here........move on.

There are lots of folks on here that I disagree with, but I would never ask for them to be banned. Why? Because they're not here to troll.

Phil, Helen Keller, gun=limpdick, etc. are all here for one reason: to troll other members and be a destructive force in this community. I understand that Gunsnet isn't like other forums where you get banned for sneazing improperly, and I like that. On the other hand, there comes a point where you have to acknowledge that certain people are only here to cause trouble and need to be removed.

[O.S.O.K.]

Thank God that the trolls have no interest in reloading. :pray: Shhh don't tell them.

And I think the infractions system should do the trick. Though, I'm sure that maser in particular has already earned far too many.... to still be here.

I like the new idea Gunsnet came up by warning problem makers. I prefer this method opposed to banning out right with one offense.
I think it's fair for everyone.

I personally don't see what I've done to get labeled a "destructive" force in the community. Maybe, just maybe, you're overreacting here.

[Joey]

This forum is the reincarnation of a venerable online community, coming back together after being scattered to the four winds. Some may consider it useful to have outsiders to hate. It's part of a bonding process. Stalin deployed the same technique with his attacks on "wreckers" and "anti-Soviet forces."

Group-hate, intolerance, paranoia, calls for authoritarian action, etc., are part of that bonding exercise. I think it's a daft strategy and doesn't have the support of forum management (http://www.gunsnet.net/showthread.php?981-What-did-Obama-Inherit-From-Bush&p=14714#post14714).

Indeed, I'd argue that the truly "destructive" force in this community are the small-minded, authoritarian, irrational and paranoid troll-hunters. But I understand why they do it.

Plus it's deeply humourous watching alleged freedom-loving capitalist libertarians behave like Russian Communist Party officials, circa 1950.

[Guns Network Staff]

You do know you are painting this community with a very wide paint brush. Guns Network has always been an international community. Thing is don't let your personal swagger get the best of you as you have not dealt with many of our ol timers yet, when it comes to your "obvious" baiting. May I suggest a different color bait?

At one time this website was consider one of the most dangerous websites in the world to visit, still don't know what they were trying to mean in that guys book. But anyways we got labeled the title years ago and we have been around a long while, We have been around since 1995 and AK-47.net since 1999. This community is missing right at about three million posts and over a million threads. So we have paid our dues over the years.

[CigarGuy]

Thank you for the ignore feature! This really seems to be a "fun" community WITHOUT all the homosexual references. I tend to just use the "new post" link, so I really don't notice what "room" a thread is in. With the ignore, it's MUCH better!

[Joey]

You do know you are painting this community with a very wide paint brush...

I think I'm being pretty fair. I've great respect for this community, it's achievements and longevity. That's why your foul-mouthed, sphincter-obsessed, petty-minded troll hunters reflect badly on you. You're better than that: bigger, tougher, uglier.

It's also why it's amusing to watch these alleged "libertarians" call for bans and ignore lists - like Stalinist secret policemen - when brought into contact with a tiny site, barely a few weeks old, with a few socialists buzzing about.

Can you see my point? Your guys need to relax: uncircle the wagons, laugh at their daft paranoia, and enjoy the internationalism.

I think your just upset because some of us around here can see right through you and know what you agenda is. We know what you can't stand so we use it against you because you are weak minded fools.

He posts picture all over the web of himself in dirty diapers.

Only posts troll BS on any sight he visits.

Also runs his own "Teen Diaper Fetish" sight where he trolls underage children.

The pedophilia thing tears it. He should not be welcome here or anywhere else.

If it gets to you, you're better off avoiding or just lurking in the roadhouse. It is a flame forum and everyone is a target. even the admen’s get flamed down there. :biggrina: it’s all in good fun. at least most of it anyway.

Uh...what Libertarians are you talking about and do you know what a libertarian is? If you did you would know that we are more tolerant than most from either the left or right wing. Did you just say I was a communist in the 50's mold? Might want to back off half a step from your rhetoric and proof read before you post. You are beginning to sound like those people you so heartedly dislike.

fwiw, the "euro-trash" really hasnt upset me to the point of ignoring them. and, honestly, and i probably just havent been reading the right threads, but i havent seen a trolling post from phil yet.

i mean, come on, theyre british. wtf? thats like getting pissed at a retard for something he says. you cant hold it against them, theyre just not smart enough to know what they are saying. they may have some of you fooled with their high brow spelling and grammer, but a retard by any other name, would be as dumb.

That's been my experance with the roadhouse. I wander down there every now and then, usually after I've had a few, and knock around for a while. It's kinda like a pressure release valve - if used properly it can be a bit theraputic.
