hey guys its nuggets. i wish i could be writing on a happier topic but im not. yes my time at TA has come. i have been going through more personal issues as i have a reputation to have, and i also am sick of the crap i have been going through on here. acused of lying, mouthed off, even bieng called an immature kid due to my grammer, despite everyone knowing i am forign. well i am sorry to all the kind people on TA such as candy and zincous but this site is getting out of hand. i know its hard Arn but try to be a little more harsh, it would really make this site more pleasant. i may drop in just to check some news but guys....im done. goodbye TA, you have been an exelent time waster. but i cant keep on absorbing the abuse. i once again dont want to start a riot. i know that this thread will probably become a off-topic spam thread all against me calling me a baby."boo-hoo" i dont care i just want out for a while. goodbye.

People didn't call you a kid for your poor english, but for your personality (i.e. signature, "funny pictures" album, etc.)

People called you a liar in the Elite Gamers group because... well.. you were =/

If it's crap you think you went through, I'd have to disagree, knowing what I know.

Anyway... Peace.

I got a small glimpse of it back when EDNG was still around. I wasn't a regular yet, though, but I can understand why some people prefer it the way it was. It was a tighter, light-hearted, but not so "OMG this guy insulted me and this community is filled with anarchy, hate, and disrespect and I must start a thread to complain" type of place. Sadly, as more and more people get iPods and iPhones, they're gonna come here. Well, take the good in with the bad, I guess. The site gets more attention, and out of the 10 noobs we get every so often, one'll actual prove to be smart :eek:

Actually, who remembers one of the first Hodapp haters, avengedse7enfold (or something like that)? He started a whole thread declaring how much he hated hodapp. Before that, he started a bunch of idiotic threads. About 10 in half an hour (maybe more). Needless to say, he was banned immediately.

Yeah he was pretty funny too. There's a lot of those guys who come in starting craploads of threads the first day they join, all asking questions that have easily accessible answers. MikeyLax is a recent offender that comes to mind.

But what put avenged7evenfold or whatever over the edge and forever in Touch Arcade history was the thread he created threatening to kill Hodapp.

But Hodapp played along and said "Hodapp sucks." The guy didn't even know Hodapp said that, so he quoted him and said, "I know!" It was hilarious. :p

i remmeber seing most of the now banned or done with TA names back when i was a lurker for a few months, and then decided to join, and got a warning about somehting i said before i even had like 20 posts ha, im a little better now though

I think if TA have the power to ban people, then they should give the forum members the power to discontinue their account. As far as I know, there is no way to do that aside from sending an e-mail to Arn. There should be a button you can press to discontinue your account if you so wish.

What would the point of that be? All you have to do is not log on =P

They can sell us to their advertising companies, saying "see, we have 99999 members" - of course not mentioning 99900 were banned because they criticise the mods, criticise the website sponsors, talked about how to block ads from this website to enjoy the website better, talking about how one should not do piracy yet mistakenly labeled for talking about piracy and all those sort of silly stuffs.

And by deleting accounts, it should also delete ALL posts that he / she ever posted. Of course they don't want that because most of the users they banned were very active in the forum and they could lose thousands of posts. Of course we won't miss Candy's or pante's posts now, but a few months ago, it would be strange if suddenly the posts count in TA get reduced by 40% just because they delete their account. The forums will look empty and no company wants to advertise here.

I'm not sure how long my post will be here before they delete it, lol.

No, not banned, just infraction. I remember there was this one guy who told people about how to block the ads so the website is ad-free and he got infraction. If you keep getting that you can get banned.

I'm myself surfing all websites ad-free on Safari, not only everything loads faster, but also cleaner and neater :)

Candy 'just' left, but we can all guess why ;)

... a thread about a dead sister in an iPhone gaming forum... While death of a loved one is tragic and all, this is one of the last places you come to to mourn. A bad reception is to be expected when you're posting it on the internet. None of us knew her, none of us really felt anything. She should've been crying out there with people in thereal world. All of us, as sad as it is, probably couldn't of cared less. It's impossible to shed a tear for someone you didn't even know existed until they kicked the bucket, especially if you just came home for a 9 to 5 job, want to kick back, relax, and read a dark poem :(

07-12-2009, 09:52 PM

i would think that would just get a warning, i mean the threads under other discussion are so random, at least it had something to do with the website, its like the feedback section, but just discussing the mods, oh well i know hoddaps been threatened before by the avenged guy and stuff. so they probably just got tired of it all

i know but still i mean it says "other discussion" im not saying the people who said mean stuff are in the wrong but they could have probably just ignored it im not taking sides or anything, just saying i understand why candy got upset, but i understand that she should have expected people to say something back that may not of been nice or whatever, i get what your saying though

that thread (alone) was not why he got banned.

In general, the reason people get banned is this:

Person: ABCD
Mod: Please stop doing ABCD
Person: ABCD
Mod: Stop doing ABCD or you'll be banned
Person: ABCD
Ban

Specific cases may be different, but that's the general outline anyway.
