Big thanks to the folks from #gsf for letting me start my holiday weekend on such a great note.

Next time anyone from [GSF] decides to spam a forumplanet board, whether there's a "reason" or not, here's what happens:

1. These boards are unceremoniously deleted, with no backup
<strike>2. Every member of [GSF], innocent or guilty, gets all of their accounts on the GameSpy Forums wiped. They get to start from scratch.</strike>
2. Every member of [GSF], guilty or not, will be temp-banned from the GameSpy Forums for a period of time to be determined.
3. The offending members specifically get globally banned from ForumPlanet.
4. I withdraw all future support, contact, and friendship by GameSpy.

I have no tolerance whatsoever for this stupid, juvenile bullshit, and I won't put up with it.

Thanks for your time. I'm sorry to have to post this, and I apologize to the vast majority of [GSF] that had nothing to do with this particular incident, but I'm pissed off. I thought we'd gotten past this kind of garbage a long time ago.

I'm not a saint. I'm not the nicest person in the world. I haven't given [GSF] every single thing they've ever asked for. But I do think I've made an awfully substantial effort on your behalf, and it really makes me question why I did so when stuff like this happens. :\

Considering I was the one who linked to their forums in mIRC, and started it all, I want to say sorry to the Orochi twins, all the mods and members over there. I'll probably make the same post over there too.

<orange>I'd like to know what it's about and who there is to blame, so I can delete that person from the GSF members database immediately. I know we have set 'rules' for that, but anyone causing this kind of post by Shai can get out as far as I'm concerned.</orange>

Don't do anything yet. We're working out the details of what exactly happened.

I'm going to go get a cup of coffee and a muffin. Then I'm probably going to come back and take back #2 up above, once I'm a bit less ticked off.

Well, I for one have already apologized. I made only one post in this, but right after posted I felt bad and immediately played along with the game in that one thread. Luckily I didn't say anything abusive or wrongful to any of the mods or forumers there, only to a friend who joined in.

I hate my consience. Anyways, Tomato was kind enough to post my apology there and I pray they accept it, and if they don't unban I'm fine with that.

I feel terrible.

Throughout the ordeal I just stayed back and watched. Hopefully this will act as an apology to everyone here too.

Great, I just found out BK was mod for only three days before this =/

<orange>Okay, thanks for that info. Man, even I'm completely p-o'd and I don't even know what's going on. Browsing Golden Sun Forums to find out. (saw you had started a topic so I figured that was the place to be and I was right)</orange>

I for one, have no clue what is going on. For once I cannot possibly be to blame in any way what so ever. HA! pwn.

Sorry, it just feels good for once to laugh at other people's dumby-ing as opposed to them doing so to me.

This isn't exactly the first time this has happened, and though I learned enough from last time something like this happened to avoid posting, I definitly could have taken a more responsible stance regarding the whole situation.

Because of that, I want to make an apology. Chris, I'm sorry that you've had to deal with this sort of thing yet again. You've seen most of the involvement I had in it on IRC, and though I'm sure you're more concerned with some other people right now, I know that I definitly could have done a better job of learning from the mistakes I and others have made in the past. I'm not trying to disclaim any responsibility for my actions today, but I do want to say that I will be sure to take a more proactive stance in the future.

I'm guessing this only counts non-secret forums, right?

Well, I feel better apologizing to them, at least they know I feel bad. Either way, if I get kicked out of [GSF] I'm fine with that punishment =/

No one's getting kicked out of GSF. Parena's right, we do have rules for that sort of thing.

A global forumplanet ban is global. That means forumplanet.com/*/

And yes, after my muffin, I've decided not to threaten innocent people, so I'm changing #2 above.

I understand that sometimes things get out of hand and that group mentality can cause weird things to happen... but I would also be very happy if the more senior members in the clan would be, as Tomato mentions, a bit more proactive in preventing this sort of thing.

Man, I hate being the looming authority figure. I had hoped that when I chose to swing by these forums, it would be for fun.

Someone has to initiate a vote, and put themselves up for voting at the same time. Same 2/3 as when you first got in.
