what are you hiding speevy
Top 35 out of (I'm taking a guess from all my time browsing this site) thousands of bans sounds like kid gloves to me tbh. I never understood why he wasn't perm'd much earlier, he was incredibly toxic and very often so.
No, it's not. The people on this forum are not your buddies. You shouldn't suppose that they are decent people just because they appear so in their replies.
Why is that absurd?
I'm absurdly nieve and tend to take people at face value, since I try my best to be as honest and polite as possible online, I assume some others do as well. Yes, this has burned me in the past, and recently (ugh) but I've also made life long friends whom I love with all my heart.
I guess it's worth the risk to me.
The point is that the people on these forums can be my buddies. Some of my deepest bonds have been formed with people I've never "shaked hands" with once and enclosing yourself off to the prospect of friendship from a source of social interaction where you have literally thousands off posts seems entirely redundant.No, it's not.

I think the GAF moderation crew handled this Amir0x stuff quite well.
He was promptly dealt with as soon as the official reports came out.
I've noticed sites elsewhere (loaded with banned GAF members, lol) using this incident as ammo for their anti-GAF rhetoric, as if GAF is some alleged safe-haven for pedophiles and etc. Utter nonsense from that crowd.
I guess we just have different definitions of friendship.
Like in the sense of "Hey I just played a game online with that guy, that was awesome!" yeah, sure.
But in terms of "Would I invite him over to my house?", umm...no.
Well, sure. If it's just some random online dude that I shallowly interacted with, I wouldn't consider him a friend either. But if it's someone online that I've gotten to know, maybe voice or video chatted with, the lines start to blur.
Control of the narrative? Most people weren't online and paying attention when the two threads were up, most people probably don't know about amir0x yet. So right now, the news is disseminating off of site through satellite communities and people with an interest in slanting the story.As for why there is no ongoing thread for people to simply post "UGH" "I KNEW IT!" "WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!" etc. Honestly, what's the point?
Those bans were also accrued over the span of like a decade, to be fair.
