CAT BALLS ARE CONTROLLING THE FORUM...

not really...
As I've explained,
-it was never really vindictive on DCF
-there were many more voices to drown out the two douchebags who can generate 30 pages in an hour while everyone else is sleeping, working or living their lives in other, non online ways.
-Nobody set out to intentionally spam thread after thread of the same topic, just because they didn't like the OP or the topic.

It was much harder to jack a thread on DCF. Much. Not comparable.

Plus, what DB said -
If they want to take the effort to generate 30 pages...
Let them...
They will give themselves carpal tunnel syndrome.

The only reason they are doing it, is because they get boners from driving you and Monte crazy.

There is no other explanation.

There's no magic bullet, Kath.

It takes ingenuity, wit, and guile to fight this kind of fight against Capps and his big buddy Smits.

Plus patience coupled with the willingness to act instantly in the face of an actual threat.

Pretty much everything your shabby tin star is essentially opposed to and powerless against.

2011 DB would have sorted this shit out with Smits and his satellites in about 3 pages, tops.

I'm pretty sure you have had methods available to you, personally, to correct bad behavior more subtle and deadly than "they should shut the fuck up about their shit getting deleted." In fact, I'm sure of it.

It's not about me, man. I'm no moderator nor mobster.
I'm just pointing out the irony of screaming about "no censorship" while actively trying to censor others through alternative methods.

I'm talking ideas here. Just like the "everyone could be a moderator of threads they create" idea. Not proposing it for action, simply saying it's an elegant solution to the olympics/hockey problem.

Not saying mods should delete threads or people should mob-bully individuals out of the forum.
Just saying censorship comes in many forms, and it's dishonest to use one person's form of censorship to justify your own.

If the other forum members run off and self censor, that isn't on us, it's on them for being pussies.

I've never seen someone whine so much after winning a point. You have complete support to be an asshole and spam away at your leisure, which you have a whole lot of.

Yet, you still are bitching. Your life must truly be horrible.

Until you show the ability to not censor shit for a sufficiently large sample size, this fight is far from over, we're just getting warmed up. I don't trust your word, if you want a truce, start acting like it and keep acting like it. Stop making excuses for your bullshit and stop fucking with people's posts and threads with heavy handed moderation.

No thread or poster was ever mass cat balled out of the entire conversation.
I liked cat balls...

Smitty and Capps are being forum bullies because they can be.

Marty has essentially decided to allow it.... Marty learned this in gym class, I believe.

They love being bullies... it charges them up with vitality... and weird sexual energy.

And they will continue until they tire of the game.

And really, in this case, its harmless after all... all they can do is spam endlessly...

The best plan is to ignore it and stop whining about it...

It flies in the face of human nature... but it is the best plan.

Dude. You are fighting against a bogeyman. I backed off days ago. You do you - nobody is saying you can't spam threads you don't like. Censor away, petty man.

It really is. Post something interesting and we will discuss it, bore us while being whinny little bitches about our shitposting, and you are calling hockey talk in on your position. The weak will perish, the strong will prevail.
