Guest rosencrantz Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 ok. just a disturbing trend i've been noticing. i realise that some (ok most) of the newbies here start off ignorantly silly or just plain dumb and all, but... it's kinda out of hand i think. actually, it's TOTALLY out of hand. all over the map bannig people. if i came to xwa THIS year instead of last, i think you'd have chased me away by now. i've noticed not just newbies but nute too, is getting razzed more than his share. and yes, i realise he acted silly SO MUCH for SO LONG, that's why he was bashed for awhile, then with his femme-side "mako" and ego and all. but after awhile, it's not funny. its annoying (the teasing i mean) it's not teasing it's malicious kinda. we don't have a clue what is going on in someone's life, i mean their real life, that makes them do things on here, or whatever. can we give newbies and reformed newbies who apologise a chance? and stop harassing little nutiferous so bad :B whatever. i dont even know if i should post this.

JR2000Z Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 Just kidding with Nute and other people is one thing but really hurting the person(Duke and Milkshake for instance) is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thrawn Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 You took a perfectly good joke away Ros! We have given the ones like janek and coffeebean a second chance. We tried to give Duke a second chance, but right after he "apologized" he turned to his old ways once more. He's gone. That is something that can't be changed, as he brought it on himself. ------------------ "Noobies Suck" ThRaWn90,RAL_Thrawn,SOB_Thrawn Rogue 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 how about we just put a ban on Milkshakes real freinds? i dont know aobut you.. but his freinds are jsut here to cause a stir, and dont really want to think of this as a community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Odin Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 I noticed that all those that do stupid things are the ones that have been picked on, if they just tried to ease themsleves into the flow here everything would be fine. Duke keeps coming back and as far as I can tell is the only one who has gottened banned. Nute well that is a special case, and we just joke. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis."

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 Ummm...I sure hope I'm not guilty of teasing Nute too hard! The general tone of this board (that I've seen, anyway) seems to have a lot of friendly razzing. We're always *(killing)* each other, making playful jokes about each other and the whatnot...and as long as everyone takes it lightly, it can actually be a beneficial thing, serving to build a sense of camaraderie. Once someone takes the teasing too far, or the wrong way, it is time to end it. Nute is a celebrity here at XWA. If his name comes up more often, that is a sign of his popularity...as I see it. I want to affirm here and now that any teasing I've done with good intentions, to interact with little Nutie here in cyberland in a way I thought was enjoyed by him foremost. If any of my posts have come across as mean or uncalled for, I apologize. Please stay, Nute. What would we do without our Neimoidian archvillain? The Newbians, on the other hand, do not understand XWA style 'gentle teasing' very well. Comments about a forum member's sexual preference would be out of line in any context on a moderated forum, and common sense should have told them that. Swift and immediate banning was the correct answer. My $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 If this is about the 'playing with dolls' crack, just say the word and I'll delete the thread.

K_Kinnison Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 What is wrong with puns? They are a very high form of humor that people cannot get because they are slighty slower then others. Just think, if you can appriciate puns, then you are a more highly evolved human (oh, i am so dead now) and a quote by the redneck version of Dr. McCoy He's dim, Jed ------------------ Originally posted by Nute Gunray: Obviously your poor grammar, spelling, and thought processes BOW DOWN BEFORE the Official Forum Pun-isher Official XWA flight instructor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Sceltor Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 Don't say that just because the newbies came recently is the reason that we don't like them. Admiral came around the same time as them, but he's still here. It wasn't us who were mean to them. They acted inappropriately, we gave them a warning and a second change and some of them blew it. Some of the razzing we do here may go to far, and if anybody has a problem with it, just let the person know or if it's too bad, us Siths'll take care of it.

Admiral Zaarin Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 I would just like it added to the record that I have never made fun of Nute. In fact, I think the only person here I've ever made fun of is myself, and I think you'll all agree that in that I am VERY justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dj Skywalka Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Um... I don't recall EVER making fun of ANYONE. I guess I know what it feels like cause I get crap all the time at school.
