I was unsure if I should make this thread as it was largely a private matter but this is a small community and at least three regular users already know what happened and it involved another two regular users so even if I said nothing, it'd take no time for people to notice and make a thread on it anyway.
The users Daisyb and formersamhmd have been permanently banned.
I won't go into details why nor should people pry into it but it was definitely warranted as they were involved in the most deplorable thing I've seen on this forum, maybe any forum and again those in the know will understand why they got banned.
All you need to know is that it was down to mean spirited behaviour towards another user. Which is the other reason why I wanted to make this thread.
That's really got to stop happening here, it's gone way too far. Most users aren't a problem and I never need to worry about what they say but some others need to tone it down as the negativity here is astounding.
Stop fighting amongst each other, making bait threads, always calling the movies kiddie and making everything into some Marvel vs DC/X-men discusson when someone criticises something.
If you don't like the movies then that's ok but don't spoil it for those who do. If you prefer DC or X-men there are boards a click away that could use the activity.
Avengers is almost out now, it's sure to be an entertaining movie with a lot to talk about. Most here will see it and want to talk about it so rather than fight amongst each other at least try and have some fun discussing the movie and other movies with your fellow users in a civil way.

Let me guess, it was something to do with DC fan and that picture formersmhd had on his avatar recently. Was he stalking his facebook or something?

I made a thread months ago asking for a truck and to end the fighting and it just turned into another fight thread.
Assholes on both ends.

I actually advised one of those guys to delete some posts a few weeks ago and he listened but I noticed yesterday that the same type of stuff was getting posted again. Too bad really. I hope everyone takes scabab's advice and stops posting bait threads and stop insulting entire fandoms.

Unfortunately, when you coddle a troll, this sort of thing is bound to happen.

that's deplorable, formersam was a gadfly that created enormous traffic, he with his absurd "views" reanimated the Star Wars forum alone. The other banned one was just your generic MCU fanperson, expendable.

I love how you post this. There are seriously only two posters who cause 90% of the crap on this site. Both do nothing but troll and make bait threads. That is their entire contribution to the forums. They are DC Fan and Tristan Incarnate. I have a tough time believing they are even different people.
*Of course I write this and notice that Tristan took the time to once again dig at the MCU in this thread. Hilarious.

Dude, forsamhmd tanked this entire board with his incessant, autism riddled posts. I’m glad he’s gone.

Its funny how you dont truley know someone online. Formersamhd and ArchAStanton were on the surface, harmless imo. Sure they repeated a lot of the same lines and rhetoric of being borderline MCU fanatics which did generate alot of traffic to this site, but I didnt think they were particularly nasty or hateful. But as scabab knows the full extent of their degeneracy, im shocked that these 2 were behind it. I guess thats what happens when you become so buried in extreme diehard fandoms it begins to warp the minds of otherwise sane individuals.

But as scabab knows the full extent of their degeneracy, im shocked that these 2 were behind it. I guess thats what happens when you become so buried in extreme diehard fandoms it begins to warp the minds of otherwise sane individuals. I… Hm, there are two ways to go about this. I did not expect genuine wickedness out of either formersamhmd or daisyb. Daisy’s politics are not my politics, and we had a bit of a back-and-forth once on the politics board, but that’s all well and fine, of course. On these boards, I never really had many interactions with her, so I don’t know what she is like as a person. Formersamhmd had a habit of patronizing anyone with whom he disagreed, which I found very annoying—as if he couldn’t fathom anyone rationally disliking his beloved Marvel Comics movies. Yet that’s what “fandom,” which has similarities with “ideology” (a kind of inverted religion, as Russell Kirk called it), can do; I get it, even though I don’t like it. That’s quite different from what scabab’s alleging, and what he says surprises me. I don’t doubt it, but it surprises me. He recommends, “Stop fighting amongst each other, making bait threads, always calling the movies kiddie and making everything into some Marvel vs DC/X-men discusson when someone criticises something,” which Hauntedknight87, politicidal, and I have all also recommended (and, I think, ourselves abided by). I don’t think that everyone will abide by these politic and commonsensical recommendations, but that’s what we should all do, of course. Again, though, I’m just rather shocked that either of them should do “…the most deplorable thing I’ve ever seen on this forum, maybe any forum…”—that’s a strong claim, and I don’t think that their posting DC-Fan’s picture is the reason because that action, while nasty, doesn’t seem as wicked as whatever action of which scabab’s writing. So I think there must be something else, whatever it might have been, that I’m sorry to hear happened. I can’t say I’m sorry to see either daisyb or formersamhmd go, but I am sorry to see more members go. I appreciate good dialogues based on a myriad of viewpoints.
