In another QCS thread someone accused Fluffdaddy of being a Nazi for having that avatar because it's clearly a schoolgirl wearing a swastika emblem and not character art from Persona 3.

I don't think anyone else has ever whiffed that badly at trying to own Fluffdaddy.

Exactly the response you'd expect from an admin rocking an avatar that that has a black coat with a red armband and a red, black, and white cross-shaped symbol on their chest, but it's different symbols so it's totally not Nazi-themed and the anime character just likes Hugo Boss.

Banning the mod you appointed for being a pedo-apologist is a good thing, doesn't make up for all the bad you do though.

eugene v dubstep belongs to the ignominious category of goons who got permabanned mostly just because no one defended them. kinda like fishmech, who prooobably shouldn't have been perma'd if you really dug deep into what happened, but no one really fought for her

All I ever heard is that Fishmech was keeping a creepy database of goonporn, possibly including pics of goons who had been underage at the time the pictures were taken. Was there more to that story that would mean she didn't deserve the perma?

it was more of a mirror where poo poo was backed up automatically. not defending the creepy poo poo of it or anything, but it was more incidental it had that gross poo poo, and it should have absolutely been purged.

uh, maybe that is worth a perma. but my point there is just that there could have been an argument, but no one cared

someone said they were the digital equivalent of a filthy hoarder house that has to be condemned and it was probably completely incidental but was more of a lifetime achievement award.

zeitguiest had a similar thing, where he linked to a share drive or a ftp something, I don't know what it is called, and one of the file names that people saw was allegedly phrases that were used to refer to child porn. Admins decided it was creepy enough that even if it wasn't true it was time for him to go.

I moved on to other games still under the Imperium banner and found myself in a leadership position in WoL playing MechWarrior Online with a bunch of folks who I fully expect have a much worse opinion of me than I them, considering that I was kicked out after calling Obama the n-word. Eventually I just sorta became a jabber denizen and left jabber after getting tired of arguing with koreamax.

I was also intensely lovely to a transgender member of sigma and my heart breaks thinking about it. I unfairly lashed out at a lot of people because of my own pain and I'm sorry.

I feel like "person who is wildly oversensitive to perceived bigotry signals turns out to have previously been a nasty bigot" is a pretty common phenomenon, if not quite as reliable as "person who claims deep ideological objection to FYAD inevitably made one slur-laden post there and got chainprobed"

I learned all I needed to about EVE 9 years ago.
https://www.cracked.com/blog/the-7-most-impressive-dick-moves-in-online-gaming-history

quote:

Of course EVE is No. 1. Thousands of EVE players only read this far to check that it was, and I lied when I said that they read instead of scrolled. EVE is what happens when someone gives Ayn Rand a warp drive and tells her, "You know what? Andrew Ryan wasn't enough of a capitalist dickhead in gaming!"

In EVE, attacking people, hiring professional trolls, even destroying thousands of real dollars are all fairly regular occurrences. To stand out as a dick in this world, you have to take it to the next level, and Alexander "The Mittani" Gianturco was a giant dick on so many levels, he's rendered Dubai skyscrapers permanently obsolete.

As head of Goonfleet, one of the most powerful alliances in EVE space, he targeted a gullible miner called "The Wis" (as in "wizard"). (In EVE, miners are people who escape reality by pretending to be computer programs, repeating the same boring actions over and over to make a small number bigger.) Goonfleet annihilated the Wis so brutally and repeatedly that he sent the Mittani a personal message begging to be left alone, confessing that EVE was all that kept him going since his wife left him and pledging to stay out of Goonfleet's way.

By the way, it's a good rule to assume that anything you write online might be seen by the entire world.

The Mittani didn't just share this mail: He flew to Iceland to present it as a PowerPoint, grabbing a microphone and putting on a wizard hat to read it out in a whiny voice at the official EVE Fanfest 2012, which was being broadcast live around the world, closing by giving out the target's name and inviting everyone else in the game to target him and help drive him to suicide.

That is the Eiffel Tower of dickery, because it doesn't matter if you disapprove -- you still have to admire the sheer level of work put into the pointless gesture. That is more single-minded commitment to being a jerk than converting to Buddhism so you can reincarnate as a Caribbean chef's chicken. Van Helsing didn't travel so far or employ so much technology to destroy his target.

There was more fallout than Bethesda. Developers CCP banned the Mittani for a month and kicked him from his position as chairman of the player council -- this is the same company that OK'ed massive banking fraud and the outright destruction of tens of thousands of dollars of player money in-game. When you're such a dick that not only are you visible from space, but that space kicks you back to the real world for a timeout, you are without question the greatest dick in online gaming history.
