Why was Ontopoly banned?

[Heroic Liberator]

But let's go back to the Realms Beyond thing, I know Jarl gets sad when we forget about it for too long.

PM JarlFrank your feet pics and he'll cheer up.

 

[Tacgnol]

So wait, is this a JarlFrank/Realms Beyond thread now? We haven't had one of those in a while.

Not once in the site's history have any of our problems been the result of a complaint from a legitimate user with an issue. It's all been the shit-posters themselves. And if those idiots are going to start causing me legitimate legal problems, then their rights to exist here have expired.

I understand the urge to ban users who have been problematic in the past when they start to behave erratically, but to the best of my knowledge users like Fedora Master and Ontopoly have never threatened or even thought of threatening this place. They are just random civilian casualties fallen to prove a point. Can't say anything about Bester (he kind of looks like a hothead), but his threads are always insightful and he adds something interesting to our community, so he definitely isn't just a shitposter.

But let's go back to the Realms Beyond thing, I know Jarl gets sad when we forget about it for too long.

Bester is obnoxious, but ultimately harmless I think. He just has an unfortunate way of inciting anger and annoyance in everyone he interacts with.

trying to troll DU in a site feedback thread is a bad idea.

Why don't you just block usage of VPNs ?

Because Codex is blocked in many places, so it is only accessible with a VPN.

Examples of such places?

Mate, everyone is a shitposter here. Every member of your staff is a shitposter. You are a shitposter.

If this is going to become a hive of shit-posting VPN users

Anyone with any sense uses a VPN, for the same reasons you are concerned with repercussions for what you have online. You'd think you would be more understanding of the use thereof. Instead it seems you are more interested in having tabs and possibly kompromat on everyone using this site and acting as an agent of the Australian state. No doubt you already do this for your staff, defo keeping the evidence of childporn ready at hand for when Scruffy steps out of line. Is that any way to run a forum though? Requiring a picture of your ID, bank info and other things in order to post on the Codex? If you are serious about this and not willing to hand the site over to someone else then it's only a matter of time before we go down the SA route where you have to pay to post. Not because of greed but because of the security it brings you. If that's what you want then stop dawdling and just do it already.

Chyna started blocking RPG Codex for a short time, though they've since lifted the ban and the site is usable without a VPN, if prone to timeouts etc.

Should've kept it banned tbqh. Mainlanders are too pure for this prestigious den of debauchery.

 

[GrafvonMoltke]

If by "pure" you mean "corrupt".

 

[Ontopoly]

Why is everyone talking about black people, and Jewish people, and free speech, and vpn's, and Australia, and spamming site feedback ( I've never done this. The only reason I made that thread in site feedback was because some dipshits were spamming the shoutbox with some obnoxious symbol that blocked the screen and made it unreadable and, I'll admit, it triggered the fuck out of me to the point where I really did want to report them.)

But why is everybody talking about all that crap though? I thought I was banned for the dick pic thing?

 

[Ehrenmann]

Am I hallucinating or is Ontopoly who just posted 10 minutes ago banned again.

[dacencora]

So is Fedora Master permanently banned? That seems like a shame.

Probably just a temp ban. You don't usually get a perma ban unless you keep tempting fate.

Could only mean one thing , codex is haunted by ontopoly ghost

Must be his new avatar or something.

Edit: fixed.

I'll probably regret this question, but what dick pic thing?

Man... the tone of this thread has taken a serious nose-dive. From "haha Onto is in the naughty kids' corner with his hands up haha" to "some people are literally destructive cunts".

The real depressing thought, as far as I am concerned, is that the shitposters that try to do these kinds of things, couldn't manage something like this website. Sadness.

On a more bright tone, the term "shitposter" used in this thread makes Kruno look like a fucking god.

what about that time he admitted to collecting photos of people on discord?

For what it's worth, it's not like he intended to doxx anyone. And from what I recall, he himself nonchalantly acknowledged this habit of his rather than it being discovered and him being called out about it. Kind of silly to expect your photos being 'safe' if you post them on a place like Discord imho.
