Aus got banned because he got two infractions last night: one for fighting with [RUS] in the Neil Armstrong thread and one for telling Cronios to shut the fuck up.
Fighting with RUS is one thing (though perhaps should notice the pattern of why all fights tend to involve RUS ), but telling the good doctor to stfu is ban worthy now? JCK does that daily And they are allways my favourite posts of the day ,and I say this as someone who generally dont like how JCK hounds ppl lol, but oh so justified in this case...
The forums act like grade school cliques at times... identifying a common enemy or scapegoat to antagonize and make fun of for amusement, etc.
Look, I don't give a rat's ass if you're Cronios or Tifoso Lou or RUS or Janna or Andries or Mother Teresa. I'm not foolish enough here to believe that just because this is an online forum everybody is going to hold hands and sing "Kumbaya" with love in their hearts to make this place a better world. But when things start to get infantile and the only reason some people post is to stick needles in someone else's eye because they happen to be the flavor-of-the-month in ridicule targets, the cards come out.
I did not, i never attacked anyone! Merely defend my self and most of the times i ignore the insults and flame baits.
I dont even mention posters, i dont have to, my arguments are always on the point at hand and never aim a poster, never!
I only adress to them, AFTER they have launched a personal attack to me, simply because i expressed my opinion!
Aus and his close friends rarely post on the matter, they always come up insults vs posters.
The mod team had already tolerated far too much of this and this tolerance has been overabused, some members post nothing but insults...
I never offended you, not even now and yet here you are prooving my point and keep abusing the tolerance of the mods...
Should i respond in the same tone? Why do i not insult you, but you cant stop it?
Is this your idea about a healthy exchange of opinions?
Why can't you all go back to just posting did not read gifs under all of his posts. That was funny before it got heated and just became posts of "fuck cronios".

Because that would derail the threads, for the ones who actually want to participate in them!
Should i post silly gifs as a respond as well? Where is the benefit in this?
Why not simply ignore me? Why is it mandatory for them to quote me?
Is it so hard to behave themselves?

RUS is the flavor of the month to pick on? The guy is a runaway train just looking for fights, he provokes constantly. Please notice that 9 out of 10 of the "fights" people get in with RUS start with him being an absolute douche. If telling Cronios to STFU is worthy of an infraction, I can easily count 5-7 infractions RUS should've gotten yesterday, or almost every day.
Most internet forums I've been to, the moderators have a low amount of sympathy to those posters and usually they are IP banned instantly. Case in point on this forum was Alvin, RUS does as much shit as Alvin did and contributes equally and yet for some reason he hasn't been booted yet. Seriously, monitor his posts and the causality behind them for a month and tell me with a straight face that the overall forum quality wouldn't be enhanced tenfold if he was not here.

Even if he is a troll, he is staying within the rules and the reactions are gross. Most people don't care about his "trolling" that much, but they see some popular members doing it and want to jump on that bandwagon.
