Title: PSA on ripster
Post by: byker on Thu, 25 February 2016, 16:23:55
Hello everyone,

Ever since ripster was banned, he has repeatedly rejoined geekhack, using new accounts. The mod team ban these accounts once we notice them. This game of cat and mouse has been going for the past 4 years since ripster was banned. After banning a few of his accounts today, we wanted to share this information with you, in case you are wondering why these accounts may be gone.

Below are the accounts that we have banned:
crickclackman (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=54709)
vanwinkey (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=54416)
tronbeaver (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=52968)
BrewCaps (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=44348)
MeltingTeeth (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=52953)

Mods can tell from IP address. Everyone else can tell by the trolling and how he types.

Sucks, but the ban is permanent, and he brought it upon himself. His pooping on gh over at Reddit doesn't help either.

I guess I can see where he came from. I was immature and got banned from a certain gaming forum 5 or so years ago, and I wanted to revisit the site for nostalgic purposes since the community was cool, but a permaban is perma :/

(In case anyone wants to know why I got banned, I got exposed as a cheater, I was trying to make it seem like I was more leet than I actually was.)

He didn't just get banned from GH.  He got banned from DT, OCN, and other subreddits as well.

Tru, tru. He has some good info at times, but I read up on some of the stuff that happened and saw he can get a little extreme at times.

Reddit forum, by software and by design, isn't made for great, long discussions. Most of the talks end up being among two people, lost in an hidden child discussion hidden beneath layers of obfuscation.
Furthermore, when expressing a clear and honest opinion, you may be worried about down votes.
I can see why he comes back here, because on gh he can find thoughts deep as a well sculpted scoop.

You'll never get a straight answer. People just say that he was an *******, which is accurate, but not very descriptive.

Here they explain that iMav chose not to reveal the details of why he was banned:

Very relevant quote from that thread:
something you need to keep in perspective though... he was allowed to remain active after exploiting the forums multiple times, against multiple users.  he was allowed to continue breaking the wikis after numerous warnings.  through all of this, iMav was vocal about what was going on.  iMav has been fairly transparent about managing these forums, yet he's chosen not to share anything as to why ripstard was banned.

that alone speaks volumes.

Some things don't need to be shared with everyone in the world.  If he did something that iMav wasn't willing to share, I assure you it's pretty severe.  Maybe just leave it at that?

This isn't some big conspiracy that's been going on for 4 years.

I will say as someone who was around at the time but not yet part of the moderation staff, that he made the forum a miserable place to be. ****posting in basically every thread, provoking the mods, attacking people. He went off the deep end and he deserved to be banned. He was also banned from Deskthority and /r/keyboards around the same time.

iMav has chosen not to disclose all the details, but he deserved what he got in any case, just from what was visible publicly.

Thank you for the explanation. It's a "you had to have seen it to know" sort of thing, is what I'm coming to find.

Just imagine demik, bee, moose, and kirkle combined into a ****posting megazord, deprive it of sleep for 36 hours, and place it in a room full of Legos. That should give you some idea. ;)

Wasn't around for moose or kirkle.

I am a fan of Legos though. Might create some bias.

Imagine the room is full of K'nex then.

Oh wow.  I am always amazed at how reddit sucks up to ripster; the guy(?) is pathetic.

He does a good job moderating r/mk IMHO and is a good resource there. People like me who did not take part in the earlier "scene drama" have no reason to dislike him.

Oh wow.  I am always amazed at how reddit sucks up to ripster; the guy(?) is pathetic.
At the same time, I've seen many there who were vocal on how annoyed they were by ripster, and he's gotten his share of downvotes.

Also, there's an /r/keyboard subreddit?!
Yeah its essentially ripster talking to himself. Really sad.

We need to just live and let die. Some bitter or immature souls at /r love to bash GH, and that's fine. Information like the OP is helpful, but I'm personally going to stop spending any of my time ripping (heh) on them. I knew Ripster when he was here and he hasn't changed or matured over the last 5 years. He probably won't ever, and no amount of hand wringing on our part will make him any better.

I just want to post in YET ANOTHER RIPSTER THREAD.

Ripster doesn't keep Ripster alive, we do. Why? Because we love to see a train wreck so much. Just like reality tv and Donny Tramp. We can't wait to hear what he'll do next. It's just like a meeting. No one cares until the door gets closed...it's the unknown. People love a mystery.

He was banned, which really isn't that big of a deal, and the final straw wasn't that much more of a big deal, relatively. It was just way past due for the time for everyone to move on. It was obvious nothing was going to change until some action took place, good-bad-indifferent. GH has changed, just like everything changes. I've been typing on this forum since summer '09. **** changes.

The 'mystery' is the perceived 'pseudo-quietness' of the mods about the whole topic and peoples ridiculous compulsion to gossip. The actual reasons have actually been posted in at least two threads a couple months after the ban. I guess that's why members from that era don't ask the question anymore. I'm tempted to repeat the things right now in this thread, but that would end the mystery that y'all love to pore over so much. And overall maybe it's better to respect the GH directive to just leave that old stale turd episode alone.

BACK TO KEYBOARDS!

To quote one of the favorites here: Glass houses man, glass houses

Im not sure if getting into keyboards as late as I did have made the drama more or less juicy and fun. On one hand I have a distance to the whole thing and couldnt really care less about who throws the pie at what clown, on the other hand being more emotionally involved would invoke more feelings and a sense of us vs them. Right now Im just enjoy the pettiness of the whole thing

Surprised that he actually makes new accounts. But then again most of the most vocal anti Reddit people here have accounts and do post from time to time

I came across Ripsters name/address through a vendor.


I was drinking one afternoon and stalked his house since I was nearby anyhow. Then I was on the phone sitting there for about 20 mins, he came out (it was definitely him), looked and looked and looked at the different car parked by his house with a dude on the phone. Looked right AT me. He's more like 140 years old. And he wears a Keebler elf tuc, velveteen slippers with the toes curled up, and skips rather than walks. I wanted to hug the little guy.


When I was done with the phone call, I peed in the bushes and left.

May I suggest a Damnatio Memoriae?

(http://i.imgur.com/1WnhI1P.jpg)

Quote
Damnatio memoriae is the Latin phrase literally meaning "condemnation of memory", meaning that a person must not be remembered. It was a form of dishonor that could be passed by the Roman Senate on traitors or others who brought discredit to the Roman State. The intent was to erase the malefactor from history, a task somewhat easier in ancient times, when documentation was limited.
