Dear Yoshi: servers went down and in 5 mins 11 threads....

[Raymeo]

OH this thread isnt bitching about the game or server maintenence. Its a fun little troll thread to poke at all the QQ "se sucks" posters on the forums. can care less if yall are enjoying it. I am and that all that matters

I know I'm not an active poster, but I'm an active lurker, and I was doing such a good job at ignoring this guy until now. Somehow I have been able to overlook his habit of beating the same dead horses (PLDvsWAR anybody?) into the ground over a dozen times a day. I eventually grew to accept the fact that nearly every thread that he participates in gets instantly derailed, with no hope of recovery. Lately I've even found myself pitying him from time to time, as he's demonstrated that he's somehow incapable of learning from his peers, spending several weeks insisting that his misinformation and half-baked proofs are indisputably right and that the rest of the world just doesn't understand, completely disregarding all of the legitimate points that the rest of the community repeatedly finds itself explaining to him to no avail. In short, I had just about convinced myself that this guy's simply that annoying friend -- the Donnie of the Big Lebowski -- and that the community will just have to find a way to adapt to him always being around. After this flat out admission to being a troll though... I'm finally annoyed.

How is this guy still allowed to post? Isn't the purpose of these forums to improve the game through player feedback? I'm not saying that people shouldn't be allowed to have their fun and games in here as well, but right here he's finally come right out and admitted that he's been trolling. That's an admission to deliberately destructive behavior that directly opposes the intended constructive purpose of these forums. It has to be breaking some sort of forum rules.

Inb4"umadbro?" Yes, I'll admit that I am. I care about this game, I want to see it continue to improve, and I'm sick of logging on every day just to see him bury countless constructive threads beneath six feet of his own crap. He's not even trying to deny trolling anymore. If any mods are out there reading, can something please be done to put an end to this? A community can only scream to be heard over people like him for so long before they get sick of the struggle and stop trying completely. Your forums deserve to thrive, but if jokers like this are allowed to consistently spoil them, people are eventually going to stop visiting.
