Check the worst opinions one in particular. I could've sworn seccy was in the lead for that one for ages, unless I was misreading it.

The only exception would be to make a subforum that only grants access to users with 1000+ posts, or something. That's a far better place to have these kinds of discussions.
Another forum i'm on had what was essentially a "vip" section that was invite only, you could try something like that maybe? That could be used for discussions such as this one. There would be no post limit, but you would be granted access if someone recommended you or something. just another option we could use

Also: since it was brought up, i think Seccy has worse opinions ^^;

We tried a Hall of Fame idea in the past, if that's similar.

And I LIKED Tract. :( I mean, I was bothered by the K-B tentacles stuff, at first, but I thought he had gotten a lot more mature.

I disappear for a summer and lots of crap goes down. I understand why he's banned – but also why he would be butthurt to be banned. In any case, you guys did the right thing before, but in my opinion, overreacting is just rewarding bad behaviour.

At this point, I think more evidence should probably be gathered on the Board Awards, and if they really are rigged, the evidence will come out eventually.

Yeah, it was less a VIP idea, and more of just a place to discuss things that wouldn't be visible to anyone who happened to make an account to lurk with.

I mean, I guess there's the staff board for that, too.

you what

Tract has no [radio edit]ing reason to be butthurt about being banned. He did shit after people told him to stop, got himself on post preview, deliberately did more shit, got banned for the summer, did more shit, and got permanently banned.

If you have any sympathy for him being banned, then you need to go back and read Satty's summary again, because you're out of your mind. The whole thing pretty much started avalanching when he was told to stop harassing Hinoa - and flat-out refused.

I took it that Gwydd could put himself in Tract's mind and see the screwy train of thought that would lead to Tract feeling butthurt, that Gwydd understands it even if he doesn't agree with it. Am I misinterpreting, Master Gwydd?

Yeah, that was kind of a harsh reflex on my part, too much math puts me in a bad mood, sorry.

Buns for everyone.

On a serious note though, I'm with Ryu. The idea of setting some kind of limit, post-related or not, for allowing new members access to certain parts of the forum is paranoid and completely absurd and I'm sure Tract is tickled pink that a mere offhand, empty comment (because that is exactly what it is) has resulted in this entirely unnecessary proposition. Even if we were being completely level-headed, the fact still remains that he does something, and we react in a sphere that allows him to see he can still have an effect on us. That is what validates him, that is at the root of his pathology or psychosis or just plain annoying as shit hobby in an otherwise sane individual.

I can't even believe I'm posting and making myself a part of this spectacle. Every new comment just encourages him. Can we please just go back to dealing with his shit silently and stop with the public announcements and acknowledgements that he still exists? And for Kraden's sake let's drop this ridiculous countermeasure idea, however tentative. We're well on our way to having Seccy jizz his pants over our steady progression toward a police state and I am not going to be the one who cleans up that mess.

Miss Draco got me right. No worries, HJ, math can do that to me too. And harassment is a very sensitive issue and something that is not okay by any means. I'm very sorry for all the pain Hinoa and others have gone through, that is NOT fun.


mmmmmmmmmm tasty necare-buns

I'm just eating your buns, Necare. Nothing to be ashamed of. But if it matters that much to you – *lets go of buns, backs away*

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

After a bit of consideration, I'm also inclined to think it's best to forego any countermeasures of the limiting variety, and stick to trying to solve the problem at its root. The concerns Draco and company expressed about postcount limits and the like potentially driving away new recruits are definitely valid too, and let's face it, we don't get new members often enough to justify it.

I'm not sure I entirely agree that it was a bluff, because him having multiple known alts (and frankly, Sasuke and Mary were pretty transparent) makes it very possible that he did mess with the results, but at this point I'm not sure it's even worth the trouble of redoing them. The only travesty was Adnarel getting Worst Opinions instead of Seccy anyway.

"Seccy" and "Draco" are both five letters long. People probably misread the choices.
