... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... [EndScreen] What you see is the sad remnants of the last mighty ellipse forest. For centuries, ellipse forests were thought to be an unextinguishable resource for mankind's english needs. After all, who really uses them? However recently, demand for ellipses have grown dramatically, for unknown reasons. Due to the low profit margin in harvesting ellipses compared to more common and easily grown letters "a" to "z", harvesters have taken to clear cutting the ellipse forests, without replanting. Now we are reaping what they have failed to sow - a lack of a critical resource for our written language. | ||

seriously, if he earned some respect, he wont be trolled anymore, but he just post about the same shit over, and over, and over again. All carlodajins posts are about THE SAME SUBJECT, cmon i would even consider it non-constructive posts because they're all about the same. If you search for all of his post, you'll find that 75% are about WCG and 24% about So1 ( he just started posting about it recently, since he made that post in the brood war forum ). 1% is the post he made about why not going 2 bases on strategy forum, which i would consider legit, since it actually made some disscusion. About his posting ways, the moking is very trivial i think, people who troll him (including myself) do that not because of his posting, but his themes. How come lil_dragon (or the chinese guy who made the broken english thread of "how merines beat lurker") didnt get flamed for his typing? because he: a) didnt post about the same thing ALL HIS POSTS b) posted very few but he did get some complaints from people, like he was trying to joke around but he failed the second time, and got shuted up. Why is carlodajin any diferent? i disagree that he is treated differently. There is a reason why people troll him and he must get around it or change the way he posts. edit: i would post a poll, but im afraid i dont know how  | ||

He's becoming more modernized. He used to mostly post about WCG 2000/2001/2002, but he's made a leap forward and now he talks about So1 Starleague. Soon he might be up to date and talking about modern tournaments like Shinhan 3 / GOM MSL. [There are some exceptions. He talks about WCG 2006 and IEST 2006.] With this trend, he may become a good poster in short order. | ||

Myxomatosis it doesn't matter what kind of shit he posts, people being ill-willed is a completely different matter. What you are saying is making an excuse to justify the flame you guys gave him. Being cruel to someone just because what he beliefs it just ignorance. I bet people who jumps on the flaming train are just kids who think it's funny and aren't necessary assholes. I know this, because I was once immature. | ||

People don't mock him for his typing style, they mock him because 99.9% of his posts are IDENTICAL and mostly uninformed and horribly out of date. | ||

Just wondering, how many times has our enthusiastic friend been permabanned? I thought after the first couple it was an IP ban or something. (1 2 3 4 - are those really all him?). | ||

People should realize that the TL public is a pretty fair (if fickle) judge of stuff like this. The same goes for the flamers, they went overboard and this thread is the result. | ||

Manifesto is protecting a guy he banned a couple months ago? Unless that wasn't him but it seems like it must have been. | ||

The mods have decided that his ignorant posting is not ban worthy, so he isn't banned. Now, accepting that he'll be around, the constant bandwagon jumpping insults are annoying and unfunny. That's what this thread is about. The worst thing is he never instigates the flaming and nimrods continue to quote him with elipse jokes for pages after the last post he's made in a thread. It's really really annoying. Mani is being kind warning you that that type of lameassery is unacceptable when you should all have seen this coming anyway. | ||

Protect the community from spammers, not the spammers from the community. I'm surprised the admins are defending near unreadable garbage posts as the way of TL.net. Why is forum etiquette in the "10 commandments" applied to ALLCAPS type posts but not applied to mass ellipsis posts? They are equivalent bad posting styles. If I put in my sig "my posts aren't really yelling" and left capslock on for time at TL.net will I get the same protection Carlodajin is getting now when I'm copied and flamed?  I would hope the admins would come to me and make me post in the correct, readable, fashion instead of allowing me to continue bad forum etiquette. Moderation at TL.net shouldn't be capricious and arbitrary. All the members ought to follow the rules including the ones on forum etiquette. Even Carlodajin.Carlodajin, please stop abusing the ... It makes those who wish to read posts take a lot of time finding letters hidden in a forest of characters. To the flamers I would say stop. There were a lot of straight up insults in the thread Manifesto linked and those have nothing to do with joking about a posting style. If he were anyone but the community punching bag there would have been some banhammers already. Parody is one thing, flaming is another. | ||

What's being defended is someone who is completely unmalicious and good spirited from unwarranted harassment just because he's an easy target. If he creates a topic that is so unreadable/incomprehensible, I'll be more than happy to close it. But I'm also not going to mock him endlessly about it either like some other forum-goers tend to. Edit - Also, I think it shows how ignorant you are if you think he's never been approached/talked to about it before. And if it's determined that he won't ever learn, or that it's getting too unbearable, then we'll do what we need to do. But for someone who is genuinely not a bad person, he does not deserve the ridicule he's getting here. | ||

It's good to know he has been approached, I had to assume he hasn't since that information has never been posted until now to my knowledge and he certainly has not changed his behavior in response to such an approach. Which he ought to, or face consequences since it's clearly bad forum etiquette. He continues, in his goodhearted way, to spam up the forum with as you put it so eloquently "shitty posts". As long as he continues to be a "shitty poster" and mods continue to defend him they are indeed defending garbage posts. | ||

Good question, my dear Aphelion! Carlodajin tries to contribute. The problem is, he doesn't do it well. So there is potential. My post you linked to was directed more at the type of people who had no desire whatsoever to contribute something meaningful to TL.net. Does that mean Carlodajin ever will? Maybe not. But the point is he's trying. And if he never gets there... we'll see. | ||
