I did talk to him. And to quote ATHF - "What is this? Prison camp?" This is what the government says to keep its people quiet..."Just leave it be...go back to bed America, your government is in control, now, here...watch American gladiators..." :ugh:
Unfortunately, some people take life and the internet way too seriously. This is just another prime example of some people failing at being mature. Apparently our archaic, Prussian based school system has done just what it sets out to do; create a country full of childish adults. And don't tell me you "...never had a beef with him." Why would you tell him before his ban to "get out and not come back?" If you didn't have a beef, than what would justify this statement? Could it be the pressure of a handful of people, who are on here ALL the time, who have more irrelevant posts than China has people, and who don't allow themselves to grow up?
Someone delete this worthless thread and all other threads dedicated to Taras please. We don't need any more coming out of the woodwork. Thanks
ignore list ftl..I had used it for a few days (not on taras cause I just avoided his threads if possible) but it did nothing cause someone quotes someone and you can see the post...would work better if everyone had added him but thats impossible.
haha...my point exactly. Sweep it under the rug. Don't let anyone see the hypocrisy. Don't allow anyone to see what it's come to. I've made completely irrelevant posts. I never got points. I've made threads asking ridiculous questions. I never got points, or a ban. Just like everyone else on here. It's a biased clique of a few people who don't like Taras, based on his spelling and personal views. You have the right, to not like someone. You have a right, to your own opinions. But when you perma-ban someone because of your "personal" opinion it becomes something else.
That's because you didn't have a bunch of retards with nothing better to do after you, reporting your posts and provoking.
Maybe now I will... I've ignored it until now, but the fact that this thread has 17 pages, underlines the problem. More than 2 people on here have started ridiculous threads, directly calling out, name-calling, and bad-mouthing Taras. These people add just as much to the dumbing-down of the collective as everyone else's stupid posts, including me, and including Taras. These people have just as much right to a ban, since no flaming is in the site rules! Let me just quote for those who fail at reading the "Read First" sticky too. Infractions To enforce these rules the Moderators of this website have created a set of infractions. Each infraction carries a number of points. These infractions will be given out consistently, without regard to past behavior on the forums. The Moderators do retain discretion and have final authority on disputes. * General Moderator Warning (1 point) (Used at the discretion of site staff for any violations not specifically outlined below.) * Hijacking threads (1 point) (Intentionally misguiding original subject of the thread.) * Intentional wrong forum/cross posting. (1 point) (Starting thread in wrong category/cross posting.) * Trolling/Flaming (2 point) (Purposeless trolling or flaming throughout forums and/or threads.) * Language (2 points) (Vulgar/profane/ offensive language of any nature.) * For Sale/WTB/Vendor threads (3 points) (Misuse of FS/WTB/Vendor forums. misleading information.) * Harassment/Threats (4 points) (Any harassment of another user or community.) * Offensive content (5 points) (Posts/Discussions/Hyperlinks to pornographic or offensive material of any nature.) * Illegal activity (5 points) (Discussions or participation of illegal activity in the forums.) * Spamming (BAN) (Unsolicited links or posts to unrelated products/services or companies) * Multiple user accounts for one person (BAN) (One person using multiple user accounts on the forums) * Group Buy Abuse (BAN) (Abuse of a group buy, backing out, failure to deliver) The key wording in this is "CONSISTENTLY." Practice what you preach mods.
and you can't add everyone you would want to to the ignore list he was trolling, he was warned and he went about his ways still. stop kissing ass to him, seriously. /this thread, the creator and person it was for are Banned
Taras created a FS thread and then gave dibs to a bunch of people. Those people had cash in hand. He then tried to sell the items from under them. When he was called out on it, he backpedaled (like he always does) and said "I never gave dibs, NO DIBS"...which backfired because the persons that were given dibs quoted his posts where he said dibs. Then he backpedaled again and basically said "Screw it, I don't care if you had dibs, no dibs anymore...and btw, these people have dibs now...even though there is no dibs." Another person's forsale thread also, a 2003 WRX for sale, he made a post asking what the dealership would sell his car for. A completely unrelated post. Not sure what else happened this weekend, but those are two instances that likely got him points.
^ I did see that. And I agree, if you don't state that dibs or cash in hand, pick-up are priority, then you should honor what you say. And to Mr. Curly - I don't need to kiss up to anyone. You guys complain about consistency, but you're all the same. "I like Taras in person, but he sucks on the internet." isn't that inconsistent? You either like him or don't. That would be consistent.
You could do well in Russia. Selectively telling on people you don't like violating the "rules" that usually nobody enforces, but which technically are there. And mods technically also have to follow those when reported. Nothing wrong technically, but kinda low.
telling on? what, the mods are now also blind then. if you haven't noticed, we dont have the power to give infraction points, warnings, or bans.
Ok...i mis-spoke, I was not under sniper fire. Not EVERYONE. That is too general. Mainly I was speaking to the people that say inconsistent crap like what I stated above. And depending on my iron intake...the color varies.
I never hated him, I just really hate his posts. I don't know anything about him besides what he posts on the site, and if he's half that bad in person, he deserves a muzzle IRL.
Reporting doesn't do a thing. It just copies the post into the moderator lounge with a short description by the person who did the reporting. It basically just brings the post to the moderator's attention.
Like the mods didn't log in and then search Taras's posts. Because it seems they ignored the worthless posts in his sale or wtb threads.
that wasnt even a real damn thread, stop defending it. seriously, he threw that thread as off track if not more than anyone else, just like he does in every thread. he was a crappy seller, the thread was a joke, and he got banned. let the dead horse lay dead.
Taras and Vorgto were both given numerous opportunities to shape up their behavior. they blatantly ignored them, and were banned. I'm sure they will both continue to create numerous other screen names, which will also be banned. even if they are smart enough to make sure the IP address doesn't match, they're not creative enough to act differently on their new account. so they will be found, sooner or later. WRXEcho. it happened, you don't have all the information, get over it. as for the consistency, we don't all see everything. But when we do see something blatantly against the rules, points will be given, regardless of who is doing it. /discussion
I heard readymixx offering a gang bang... Im here for that alone... wait not alone with myself.. er **** !
