What I thought was funnier was the lack of respect.

That was the part that really shocked me.

Oi...

That's what this thread was all about.  Not bitching about kids or other silly ****.  It's all about that type of thing that went on routinely. 

Instead of bitching about Caps titles, he really ought to just put the clamps down on douchebaggery in general.  They've got a LOT of that going on in every section of their forums.  Caps locked titles are the last thing they should be this concerned about as far as "quality" on their forums.

I dunno what sparked that, but it's worth a laugh regardless.

People seem to be afraid to say anything? Philip seems like a very reasonable man, as I doubt he is going to be upset over someone voicing their opinion in a respectful manor. 

Clearly DARTHBORAT (who's all caps name alone could get him banned) hasn't been paying a lot of attention over the last year or two.

Heck PW should just send DARTHBORAT his suspension email already, since it looks like he is the only one in the GG thread to post in all caps for the past few pages.  It's funny to see people complain about how many threads there are or All Caps but no one seems to care about the name calling/bickering that goes on all the time.  Just another stupid rule over at scum.

That was always my big gripe, actually... 

In a nutshell, they (they being mostly Philip with occassional an interjection from someone else who doesn't spend much time on their own forum but are on staff) would come down on individuals for any myriad of senseless things...  Simple criticism of something on the site, or an action the site took (spam emailing, moderator abuse of power, etc.), and other silly things.  Things that really, in the grand scheme, were just "old time" members there trying to keep the place fun and free of the current state that forum is in...

All the while, name calling was ALWAYS ignored once Scum stole the BHC from Sullenger...  It went on rampantly, there was no check on members who abused the rules.  Flaming, trolling...  Hell, post padding was made an art form by one of their moderators and a couple of their past fired moderators, and they still all do it to this day...  All the true rule infractions at the site get overlooked, but Philip's really (and comically) fast to run in and say that an all caps title is worth a week's suspension... 

What can you say to that, honestly? 

Scalping's rampant there, and unchecked anymore.  The "kiddies" are all too welcomed there.  Flaming is a routine in every thread it seems, as nobody's taught to respect others through punishment (or even a threat of it).  And most of the time, the inmates run the assylum as they please, at least to my eyes that's how it is with some of the moderating staff (those who actually are there participating anyway).

I don't think much about them anymore...  don't visit them near as much as I did a year ago, and that was down a lot from the year prior.  All I know is it's a sad state that every good member there has 10 dickholes to accompany him, and it really makes for a blight of a community.  Philip's flip out about something so incredibly petty though just rekindled why that place is such a shambles to me I guess.  There's so many other problems to take action on, and he's mad about all caps thread titles.  I guess we all have a difference of opinion on our priorities.  :-\

douchebaggery

That word only has 4 syllables, but I think it deserves far more.

PW is an amateur.  The next person who thinks about posting in all caps is taking a month off here.   >:(

Anything less than lifetime banishment would be a travesty of justice.

I didn't even know about the whole caps rule thing until I checked this thread. Another interesting non-event over at scum is no LJ, not even in the user listing. I wonder if the two events are linked?

I thought LJ was an exclamation point abuser? I guess that goes to show you that excessive punctuation is a gateway drug.

Hey I may use excessive punctuation, but at least I didn't narc on any of the jd'ers back when the mass bannings occurred!! Hell Jesse, you remember, I came by and told you who was just looking for you guys and giving you up over at the scum. I mean it's one thing to have  Wise and his admin henchmen look for you, but it's another for a lil mod to purposely search out jd staff!! I didn't agree with it then, don't agree with it now. I have my faults, but excessive punctuation is nothing to some of the things others have done!

Oh and I forgot, I am not the one that was singled out for all caps!! My shtick is punctuation, not all caps! :P I don't know who that was!!
