How do you truly know that? Are taking the troll at its word here?

Did he ever actually mention that? I don't "truly" know that but it's what I would do it for. I certainly wouldn't be bored enough to keep it up for that long unless I got a kick out of all the angry people.

Even if people don't get angry, he still gets to control the forum, which I think would be enough for a bully. They love claiming territory.

More than once they've commented about reddit's reaction to things. I think even they know that large, open forums modded by the community are worth looking at. So no, they may not openly be in someone's discord or FB group, but we know they watch FF14 streamers, Reddit and such.

Oh you poor thing! There's only one reason you'd ask that...

It's funny how as much as lot of the people here dislike what's going on, they can't seem to ignore the obvious attempts to rile them up and/or elicit a response and thus perpetuate the problem.

If you want people to walk all over you, then go for it. But that's a lifestyle fit for all.

He has mentioned it in the past, in another of these type of threads, that ppl's reaction to him is at least 1 thing that keeps him coming and doing what he does. Please don't ask me to find the post tho, it was quite some time ago and I can't remember which of his 10+ accounts it was done from :P

christ this thread has went from a joke to a legit joke of a joke.

Sshhh your ruining my popcorn time.

Agreed, reddit is just memes and fan art. Every once in a while you'll get a post with something of actual worth....then it's buried beneath another avalanche of fanart.

Kaiyoko's weekly post about fashion report is good. But yeah, 90+% memes and fan art.

I'm all for standing your ground. That's what I do irl but we're talking about forum entries here. I can't even pretend that that bothers me.

Damn, I forgot you made this comment

Does it really matter? I mean, is this forum such a whirlwind of activity that real conversations struggle to survive the onslaught?

The handful of troll threads that keep popping up aren't preventing anyone from having the conversations they want to have here. They're just a silly diversion most of the time, and it's all wholesome kid's stuff; nothing that's going to scare or disturb anybody. The mods likely don't bother because they're a complete non-issue.

Edit: Necro, but the point still stands today ;)

It is fascinating to see Titanmen reply to himself, twice, only to then have someone reply to him that looks like he might as well be Titanmen.

Pretty sure the word we looking for isn't "comedy." It's "insanity."

SO SAD!!!!

While OP is long gone I blame SE and their decision not to pay even an intern 2 hours a day to clean this place up. Lots of rule violations that go unresolved.

they never learn, even after 3 years!

Yeah, I'm out.

As they should be. I am a big proponent on this all being handled fairly. That means regardless of whether someone thinks they are morally right or not, they should have action taken against them just the same as anyone else.

SO SAD!!!!!!!
