thanks!
User was temp banned for this post. All this means is that you'll become a lurker for 48 hours. I doubt you'll actually take a "break" from SC2.  I think him requesting a 2 day ban stems from today's GSTL results. He was on break from med school and is about to go back or something + GSL + GSTL results

Who is sam!zdat and why did his perm ban affect so many people? He is the hero TL deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

He was a pretty prolific poster in the General Forum and he had some interesting idea. I was surprised because he's super helpful in the "What Are You Reading" thread (which you should all visit because its awesome) and so I figured he wouldn't be the kind of person to get permed for that sort of thing. (I realize he requested a perm, but after a 30 day ban...)

Ya, the timing makes it feel like it was a 'frustration' request.
I've actually never come across his posts (I guess I don't read enough threads) or seen his mod history; you guys think he'll ask back in eventually (after the 30 day temp is up of course)?

The tone of his posts often strikes me as borderline and baiting a response that will get a warning/ban. It might only be my interpretation though.

You're not the only one. I noticed a certain hidden aggression in his comments too. I think he merely let his strong feelings get the better of him on occasion; it's happened to farv, for example.
+ Show Spoiler +Sorry, farv. I'm not trying to single you out. That post just happened to be the first I thought of applicable here.

That's quite alright; better to occasionally become over passionate with a topic than to passive aggressively latch onto whatever the currently hot posting libertarian/conservative schmuck is hocking.

KimJongUn was just banned by R1CH.
That account was created on 2013-04-13 06:56:04 and had 1 posts.
Reason: Previously banned user / bad gimmick.
Bad gimmick? I wonder what that is about. Maybe when the post becomes searchable I will understand. Anyone have a guess?
|
I could have sworn there used to be a poster named KimJungIl before. But I can't find any evidence of such a guy (or if he was even banned).
But that was going to be my guess.
|
My guess would be that it's related to his name. It is a rather gimmicky one.
|
To be honest I am a bit surprised that name wasn't taken before.

But that was going to be my guess. There's a KimJongChill. Maybe you're thinking of him?
|
Oh yes, probably. And he's a fine poster I believe (at least not banned), so I guess that's not the connection.

GOD DAMN IT SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM.
Edit 1: I had no idea he got into Riverside. I don't visit the blogs section much these days.
Farv, tell him congrats for me, and that he sucks (and so do you) for never hanging out in IRC anymore.
Edit 2: I'm scrolling through some of his posts from the old Election thread and crying (okay, the crying part is not true).
Also tell him that the term 'ADD goldfish' will forever belong to me now. ;(

Moving away from the whole sam thing, here's a funny little one.
Dchi12812 was just banned by motbob.
That account was created on 2013-04-13 13:40:08 and had 1 posts.
Reason: ?
Even the mods/admins/staff are confused as to why the dude is banned!
|
They arent confused on why he's banned, the ? refers to the fact that his post was dumb or incoherent

Yeah...he necroed a 7 year old thread and wrote this:
For all you fucks out there (GDI) the word is fraternity not "frat" and if you think I'm not giving you respect by calling you a GDI well than look no further than when you call my fraternity a frat. Oh and yeah the real reason you join a fraternity is to make connections and what a social fraternities goal to do is to prepare its members for life after graduation. Also joining a fraternity means you're joining something bigger than yourself and making lifelong friendships. Oh yea when you say all fraternities do is party then well I guess you're wrong because I know my fraternity does a lot to raise money and help the community out. That is all, but the next time you want to call it a frat then don't get mad when I call you a GDI
It was a bit weird and uncalled for...
|
All I can think of after reading GDI is Command and Conquer. I guess fraternities always play Nod?

Shame that we'll never know what a GDI actually is, and I don't think the poor boy's gonna say it relates to Command and Conquer...
