You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

It is simple really. Look at the company that owns this site. They are self proclaimed trolls and thread derailers. We sit here and post ideas on how to stop these types of behaviors from our members, and yet they are only copying what they see. How do you expect the younger members of this site not to get banned when they see the top people be able to do this and have the community quote and laugh about it?

I know some of the mindless drones will come in here, barely read this, and post "Bungie owns everything, you have no rights play nice". Do me and other people a favor and hit Alt+F4 before you post. I know they own this site and they can do whatever they want. My point is that if they want this place to be better then they need to post the way they want others to. This do as I say not as I do mentality has got to stop if we want this community to grow.

If I could report their posts I would. The great mythical tool to report bad posts is magically not there for their posts. Quite frankly I see it as the greatest trolling Achronos has ever come up with.

So next time you all go to report a member for trolling or spamming just remember they are only copying behaviors they see as accepted by the community. Instead of reporting them just send them a PM explaining not to copy such ignorant behavior and to rise above it. If you see an employee post and it is just blatant trolling or thread derailing make sure to send them a pm calling them out or feel free to make a thread like me.

Ignoring the problem will not make it go away.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

*Looks down*

...How?

There must be some XHTML coding for it. There must be. I'm taking a web design class, and I'm learning to implement images using XHTML code. Even though we used Dreamweaver, we still have Notepad.

Here's the thing, everyone, at some point has been guilty of trolling, and why not, It's fun to listen to the massive debates over who haz RECONZ and such, even the Mod's. But what can you really do. I'd also prefer if we don't end up with another Bloody Sunday, like the one that happened in russia.

Can I ask you why you put a period at the end of your pic? If you are going to spam up my thread with your pictures can you at least do it right?

Achronos, the greatest troll of them all.

In all seriousness, it is starting to become a problem. The only employee I've never seen do this unless in a joking manner in a nonserious thread to begin with is urk. Sure, he's posted pictures, but not with the intent and absolute lack of care for the fact that someone's threads just been derailed.

Hypocracy with the excuse that "It's my party, I'll troll if I want to" is nonsensical and shouldn't belong in the forums, in my personal opinion.

No. I can see your point here and I agree with it, but the threads they derail weren't going anywhere anyway. Also, it amuses me. So I don't really care.

I already outlined a couple of things you can do. Stepping up and not tolerating it any longer is just the first step.

Hmmm. that actually happend to my post once as well, it ended with a massive debate over weither or not to delete the game forums, and all it was about was me forgetting there was a tab at the top of the forum list that said game forums. I see your point, but whatcha gonna do about it?

Now this guy here is tuned in. Too bad more people don't share this mindset. I wonder how many people here are too scared to speak out against something because they are too worried about their image? Not a bad idea for a seperate thread....

Christ. I am drunk and listening to RATM. Makes for a great combo.

Ask our humble hosts to not be so glaringly and annoying hypocritical in, at the least estimation, 50% of their posts (except for Honeydey and JonnyOThan; they're chill).

On a somewhat related note: Are all the Employees gathered around a computer posting in the Community Forum? All these gold septagons are hurting my eyes.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I didn't think of that. Those Gold Septagons just draw more attention to the bad behavior.
