One of the most common traits of the on-line ****head is the absolute refusal to follow common social rules. For example, the ****head will use racist or sexist terms, will use inappropriate references to bodily functions, or will otherwise not respect the rules of society.

I don't think I'm the f***head here, but we certainly have some.

Post by: iMav on Fri, 31 December 2010, 15:42:29: Typically, I dislike these stupid polls. But perhaps we can use this one to the GH community's advantage. How about a 10 day ban for the "winner" so they can reflect on their caustic behavior here? ;)
Title: Troll Pole: Nominations
Post by: iMav on Fri, 31 December 2010, 16:01:04: So, we have the following nominated so far:

Microsoft Windows
ripster
msiegel
Computer-Lab in Basement
Pylon
iMav

(figured the, "if you post in this poll thread you are a troll" criteria was as good as any)

MW, I'd give it through the weekend and then setup the poll on Monday. We can have the winner in a 10-day timeout by next weekend.

I think a better name for that bar would be "The Shoe Store".

That's hilarious, at least until the point where the beer gut starts showing and the wife signs you up for another gym that has exhibited better results and is so proud of you for trying(thus making you actually want to go to the gym.)

Seriously though, gyms are good - go.

Post by: microsoft windows on Fri, 31 December 2010, 17:57:38: Well, you never tried to get me banned nor did you persistently act like a jerk towards me after that. So you by no means deserve to be on the Spam Filter.

But seriously, the Spam Filter can greatly improve the forum experience. If people bother you, you don't have to read another of their posts again!

Post by: Computer-Lab in Basement on Fri, 31 December 2010, 18:25:58: MW, I think you should let someone with a better reputation make the poll... Perhaps we can kindly ask iMav to create it, after all, this is his forum.

Ripster
Microsoft Windows (Hey, this whole idea was trolling)
ItlnStln
Webwit
John Deer
Computer-Lab in Basement
EverythingIBM (He uses Windows 98)
Maclover

What I'm going to do is count who gets the most nominations and make a poll out of the top 10.

No one is currently banned here. (note, webwit asked for his account to be deleted...I simply disabled it to keep him associated with the content he has provided)

Is my current signature in compliance with the revised forum rules?

I never tried to get you banned, nor have I ever personally insulted you. There's a reason behind my signature. So why are you trying and stir up unrest in the community for no particular reason? If something about me bothers you, you can add me to your spam filter and you won't have to see my signature. You can call me a spammer, that's not that big of a deal. But saying that I go out of my way to constantly, personally insult other members is.

I had the "Spam Filter" in my signature for a good long while and then removed it and stopped ignoring Ripster and Kishy to see if they had gotten any better. Kishy still was rude to me, so I bashed him a few times and put him back on. Until he tries to make mends, he's staying there. And if you guys want to play "Signature Wars" and say worse things about me and spread them around the forum, you all can join him!

You see, the Ignore List is a good, useful tool. It makes a great spam filter. So if my signature bothers you guys, take its advice. Use the spam filter!

Title: Troll Pole: Nominations
Post by: microsoft windows on Sat, 01 January 2011, 19:54:29: My signature is not trolling. Kishy often insulted me, so he earned a position on my ignore list. Calling his messages directed towards me "spam" is probably the nicest thing I could say about them. If you have a problem with it, you can send me a private message and we can resolve the conflict without further disrupting other forum-users' business.

Overall, the conflict between me and Kishy had nothing to do with you and was none of your business. You just decided to be immature and butt in.

I will say no more about Kishy; after all, I am ignoring him. And I will also say no more about the conflict between him and me. And if you decide to publicly insult me, then that's your own business. I'll just ignore you too.

I'll make my poll now, and I'll see you all later.
