  • What I'd really like is a smart ignore feature that hides from my forum experience any mention of BK's existence. That way, I wouldn't even see posts that mentioned BK, let alone quoted him. I don't even want to know that there are ignored posts I'm missing; I want a seamless forum that exists in an alternate, BK-free universe a la The City and the City or The Quantum Thief.

    • Okay, who actually responds to BK besides Ken and Molly? I can't think of anybody else who does it. Then again, there's like a hundred people on here.

      EDIT: I should add that the number of people ignoring BK really has gone up in the past few years. It's just a few diehards in need of correction now.

        • I sometimes just can't help myself.
          Under the excuse of "All It Takes for Evil to Triumph Is for a Good Man to Do Nothing." I just break down and call him out on his BS and hatred.
          I don't necessarily consider myself that Good of a Man, but I need to feel that I'm not as bad as BK.

          Using religion to justify hatred has been responsible for the persecution of billions throughout history.
          And BK has it down to a science. He's as bad as the Islamic Fundies that he claims to hate.
          It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

            Plenty of people, Berzerker, Rah, our Norwegian friend, Slowwy, etc etc.

            I've never understood this logic, this isn't a private forum. To use the bar analogy, it's like having a guy who walks around causing trouble and stirring up a toxic environment whenever he can. He lies about the regulars, spouts racist and homophobic filth and does everything in his power to try and **** all over anything positive that happens. The response? Everyone else in the bar should stick their fingers in their ears any time he comes in and go 'LA LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!' and hope he gets bored and goes away. Despite him having several actual friends here which means he's never going to go away.

            I do sympathize with Mings point btw, but for me it's a principle thing. If he's openly allowed to post here then this place is associated with the things he posts. Elok, you say 'we'll deal with new posters when they arrive', but no you won't. You won't get the opportunity to, because they'll see what he's posting and think this is a place they don't want to be.

            • He's banned for now. If he's half-the troll you think he is, feeding him like this is wasteful. Wait a few months before making endless I-hate-BK posts. Whinging about him now only shows how much you miss him.

                It's just too easy to create DL's faster than they can be tracked down and banned. It only causes more disruption to the site. Why should we have to play whack a mole.

                  No, it really doesn't, but you have half a decent point in there, there's no point discussing it now.

                    The banter between you two is one of the reasons I keep checking this forum.

                      I sometimes have some pretty bad ignore discipline. I have molly on ignore but enough of his posts are hilariously stupid enough (as opposed to merely annoyingly stupid) to merit some trolling.
                      If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

                        I think this actually speaks against Ming's point. Spink and YYYH may have posted some DLs for a few year, but they haven't been on this site for many years (Spink asked me not too long ago on Facebook how Poly was doing).

                        • My god, Ben has yall wraPPed around his little trolling finger.

                          For the record Ben has never Bothered me, tried to troll me, or said any hateful things to me. PerhaPs I'm in the minority, I don't know. I must admit the Asher/Ben wars of years Past was very funny to read, and I do get a chucKle every now and then when he trolls one of you. You do it to yourselves.

                          You ALLOW yourselves to get mad. All you have to do is Pat him on the head and say "That's nice Ben." and move on.

                          JeePers it's like you all ENJOY the Ben drama. Last time he was Banned you just rePlaced him with AlBert SPeer. Get over it.

                                They both stopped posting because they got bored with the site... not because they were banned. Everybody knew which DL Spinks was using... and he made no real effort to hide the fact. YYYH on the other hand was far more discreet and only a few people knew his DL. But like many people, they just faded away from the site.

                                Again, we really can't stop somebody from posting IF THEY WANT TO
