This thread explains some things, lol.

Eladiun is right to call out flynn, and if he hadn't, I was about to (hence my quoting of post with a "this").  However, the warranted level of harassment is inversely proportional to the response of being called out.  Note flynn's response:

He didn't try to make excuses for what he did, rather, he openly admitted the real motive, and he embraced the asshole-like nature of the move.

Compare this to the response seen from others who have been called out for similar behavior.  This is why I consider the entirety of Eladiun's responses to have gone too far.  E, I think you should have reached this post a page or three earlier:

All of that said, this was a total dick move, in fact it's one of Wizgoddess' favorite tricks.  Not many want to be known as "the other Wizgoddess".  With that in mind, the entire purpose of heckling each other about this kind of thing is to inform the offender how such things are perceived, and, if at all possible, reach an outcome similar to this:

For his dedicated and shockingly lonely efforts at attaining this outcome, as well as the rather fun reading material that resulted, I award Eladiun the Seal of Approval.



Now, as a side note, I follow the "do not report" mantra, though I do allow for exceptions.  To date, I have made two exceptions, both long before the existence of the Vault: Gunga and Quanefel.  In both cases, they had deliberately baited and reported me (infractions mere minutes after posting!), so I came back with both barrels blazing.  I don't tell anyone else who, how, or when they should report, but I reserve the right to pass judgment on those whom I consider to have itchy trigger fingers on the report revolver.

I dont think flynn baited the guy? Is that what ur saying

Strakeln wrote on Jan 26^th, 2011 at 11:04pm:

I've made 2 exceptions.
One for h4x.
One for some douchebag that copied a phishing email, LINKS AND ALL onto the forums, and then refused to remove the links when asked, and then even started getting lippy.  The thread got eaten almost immediately as the work day began.  Not sure if the douche got any points or or anything.

you are being facetious, right?

Ya you reported me and came crying here like a little bitch when I danced you with my Kormor's belt.

I've never been banned or infracted in-game and I got one warning (now expired) on the forums about something and it wasn't for that thread about the vault.

I didn't get any warnings about that, I think the mods were gunning for me.

I've noticed various mutterings and mumblings coming from douchebags on here implying I'm a 'reporter'.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

I am always the first to try to get people to take any shit they might have to the vault (we all know shit belongs in the toilet), where we can have it out in an unmoderated, no holds barred exchange.

I've always taken the moral high ground on this, assuming the dickheads that hang out here would be master reporters.

Of course I was proven right by the various threads that have cropped up over the months, including this one.

All the people who whinge and whine about getting infractions in-game or on the forums, are the one's who do most of the reporting.

Then they come here and try to project onto me what they hate the most about themselve's.

You fucking despicable little bastards.

It's like when you are walking down the street and you see a starving, wet cat crying for attention, and you take pity on it and give it some scraps.  After it's had its fill, it comes over and pisses on your leg, and you want to kick it across the curb.

Gornn wrote on Jan 27^th, 2011 at 9:28am:


Sort of.
