Oh yeah, like banning your forums enemies is dumb bullshit, but it's just the forums. Doxxing is pretty much the one thing everyone can agree is beyond the pale (although definitions of doxxing vary a little bit at the edges)

People take the forums way too seriously, good lord. It's just a place to hang out and post about poo poo and maybe get some advice/insight about something low stakes.

IMO just ban everyone who gets angry about poo poo that isn't doxxing or something similar. I don't bother posting in SAD during blowups because it's almost always just the latest chapter in long-running feuds between insufferable people.

CZS made the first spreadsheets, faib made the second spreadsheets. Neither spreadsheet was doxing. Lady Radia and faib had an offsite history of some kind, and faib posted pms between the two of them that included PII after having tried clearing that action from fritz and fritz did not pay it enough heed. This led to LR autobanning.

CZS doxed another poster, LALD on their alt after their main was doxed, was unapologetic toward it, and when that person autobanned blaming CZS with a body that was ? the body of their autoban was edited by Fritz.

LR and LALD are different people.

Thanks for clarifying. What a loving mess.

I'm not saying it was a great thread, all I'm saying is that it was not full of Nazis and it's pretty offensive to me when people normalize Nazism like that.

OUYA - Half as successful as the original PlayStation.

It was later revealed that the poster thought it would be a massive success because when trying to play flash browser games on a regular computer it would run too slow (also they had 100+tabs open at all times)

Follow-up threads
OUYA - hey does anyone remember the N-gage, whatever happened to that thing
