Well ok. Here's a relevant question: what does "Malicious user" from the list of pre-existent ban reasons exactly refer to? For instance I see Carhire123 was recently banned for that reason even though he looks to be one of the dime-a-dozen advertisers/spammers. Is it just an umbrella term or... ?
I'm not aware of any of the specific cases you are referring to, but I interpret malicious user as one who is knowing-fully hurting the community/website. Someone who gets out of control in debates unintentionally and gets temp banned isn't really a malicious user; someone who is advertising, knowing it is against the rules, or ban dodging is malicious.
Ahh so it is kind of an umbrella term then? I'm a bit confused because usually the reason is "advertising" or "ban dodging" or "PBU", while with "Malicious user" they're either advertising or the post is nuked and you can't see what it was in the first place.

to be honest while reading this thread this morning (i've been lurking for a long time for some reason), i told myself that i understood less and less what was happening here, and it slowly became just a private chat full of not funny inside jokes and not so funny sarcastic / ironic posts. just giving my 2cents because of seeing this post the very same day i told that exact thing to myself.

No, he's right. There is a core group here who hijacks the thread and ruins it for everyone else. This is why you should go to IRC where you can have all the in jokes you want.

Yeah, I agree with him and I'd say there are certain people who have a very bad habit of derailing this thread. Though expecting people not to have in jokes, especially in jokes based on bans or whatever is pretty unrealistic.
Oh I didn't read the post closely enough, was wondering why everyone was saying it was TuElite. Terrible.
@mop: don't talk about him here (erased from the annals of TL history by the ministry of truth winkwink), not to mention it's not even him and I wasn't talking about him.

I know... forget it, if you didn't get it the first time I'm not gonna bother.

Is TuElite currently permed though?
yeah he got permed a while back iirc
I never got that. Sure his posts were kinda weird but in the end he was just some ravenous fanboi blabbering on the internet, it's not like he actually stalked or harassed whatever kpop chick he was crushing on. It's not like he was malicious or anything. :/
^ Huh yeah I remember that... pretty bad that people would bait each other like that, then again KMD is probably *the* worst thread so iunno.
I have been woefully absent from this thread as of late. The wife is out of the house for the night, and I may be drinking later. This is your heads-up, ABL.
