sreamer17ydr: We are all fellow gamers.... all of us. I don't like labels such as "Troll, scammer, noob" etc. As long as the person in question, is civil and nice, plays games, that's all that matters. I try not to be mean, judge others, or anything, but we are all human and imperfect, so we sometimes slip up :)

Lets not attack today, game on!
I have to attack! There is a Cerberus destroying my copper mines and Atlantis has demanded I send them some armor!

That's the problem.

Anyway, if you don't get offended easily, you won't have many issues here.
Just befriend the good people and laugh at the bad ones. XD

Damn that Illusive Man!

jamyskis: Tauto started out as an alt account of a prolific scammer, but has since come to - I think - be a quite constructive member of the community on the whole. I rarely see anything hugely troublesome from him nowadays, and I find it pretty poor form to keep downvoting even the most harmless of posts from him.

Mr.Caine: congratulations on being legally blind. It's thanks to people like you that a waste of life like him still gets to cling on to this place.
Tauto corrected him himself on page 2 already ;)
right now that little fucker is laughing at all of us

And people continue to downvote and spam-mark every single one of his posts even when they contribute to the discussion. I certainly understand why he gets annoyed, that behaviour doesn't exactly help in making the forums a friendlier place.

I still see more of his "bad" posts -the necros and whatnot- than his constructive ones, but he has improved a lot, and I don't see how throwing crap helps someone who tries to be a better person.

Harrasing and spamming jamyskis was "contributing to discussion"? lmao. In a forum with real moderation he would been banned ages ago.

Ummm, he was being sarcastic. :P

Tauto NEVER contributes to the discussion. His amiable post only look that way because he is fucking with the person he is posting too. He is 100% asshole.

Maggot shit has more redeeming qualities than him.

I'm sure on top of his anti-fanclub comes the downvoter script. I don't downvote everything by him just because; thats stupid. Necro spam, yes. Thats like begging for it. But the so-many-downvotes + reports that it gets auto-deleted on normal posts from him? That makes only sense from a script; half a fistful ppl hating him enough to invest time to hunt down his every post to make a downrate+report would not enough; and normal annoyance does not get so many votes-till-delete; few yeah, but not next to everything.
Look here!

Even the Galactic Empire thought he was too big of a dick wad and was forced to pitch him:

That's still getting off way to lightly for someone like him. Like I said in any forum with actual moderation 5 decent posts do not redeem 995 posts of such obvious,uncreative,repetitive and blunt trolling. Apparently those 5 posts are enough for the naive and short sighted members of GOG to say the guy has the capacity to change and is somehow unaware of borderline spamming the forum.

Me using the word "annoyed" could just as well mean "so enraged they're frothing at the mouth and can't think out of anger", I'm a fairly mild-mannered person, and don't enjoy using very strong words. Apologies.

I don't know what that achieves too, frankly. ¯\_('.' )_/¯

They're like 0,1%, though, and they don't contribute much, unless you count those useless fake friendly replies to noobs\alts (still rare).

True, but he wouldn't behave nicely anyway, as we have witnessed various times.

avatar

How exactly???
He stopped necroing and attacking for a week and just posted a few passive-agressive posts (until now).
We don't even know if it was on purpose, as he never felt sorry for his actions.
That's all..

Of course it was on purpose. It's so that clueless people get to say "he's trying to change u guyz!"

Friendliness to new people is, I think, an easier way to go for him for the moment, having become so jaded by negativity from everyone else regardless of his responses that he feels it's no longer worth the effort (and instead, sadly, sometimes reads posts too quickly and automatically responds to the expected negativity with more of the same). I have seen him answer question threads with a very valid response and getting spam-flagged just for daring to post.

0.1% is very little, yes. But it's better than none. While I can't do anything about any down-vote scripts (I would prefer that GOG required a typed reason for downvoting, or at least for spam-marking, and that spam-marks would go through a staff member for validity at a certain threshold rather than auto-hide as said threshold), I can only hope that that behaviour is stopped in some way.

I have witnessed him acting better. I respect him, even if I don't agree with his actions, and I feel have earned respect back.
