    I know this place is normally a hotbed of loathing and rage, but recently a new-type has been breaking rules, insulting regulars, and generally being a complete arsehole to the degree that even I want to kick him in the balls in person.

    I am speaking, of course, about the Thread Necromancer Extraordinaire, Roller.

    And so I petition the admins and heads of this forum... please banhammer this moron before we wind up turning him into a Darwin Award.

    I've set the poll for 7 days.

    I must have missed something. A quick glance through the forum just shows him asking a bunch of questions (some of which are, admittedly, stupid), and discussing Arcanum strategies and whatnot.

    To be honest, I would have thought you'd make a thread like this about me, before you ever made one about Roller.

    Refrained from voting though, in case I really did just miss him being a jerkoff.


    EDIT: Nevermind, cargo hold thread. Seems to be just the one thread to me, though. His manner is simply dreadful, true, but I don't know if the banhammer is necessary or anything just yet.

    If I can't find a single reference of him in at least the first 3 threads of any index, he isn't worth my time.

    My vote is obvious.




    ....although I would like to see his contribution to the Darwin Awards...



    EDIT: For those that want references as to why Xaio has requested this:

    http://terra-arcanum.com/phpBB/viewtopi ... ht=#193030 <--- 2 and a half year gravedig he then started to pick fights with Dirtman, The_Bob, Drog, Xaio and myself.

    http://terra-arcanum.com/phpBB/viewtopi ... 059#193059 <--- 1 year gravedig where he picked a fight with Xaio, Drog, and Darkfool.

    http://terra-arcanum.com/phpBB/viewtopi ... 681#193681 <--- unprovoked and out of the blue flame at me.

    This forum is a dictatorship not a democracy. Bannings occur only at the whims of the powers that be.

    No matter what the result of any poll is it is unlikely we'll pay attention to it.

    Had a quick read through Majikot's links. Understanding the message loud and clear - but not voting anyway.

    Reason? I wonder what will happen if Roller pisses off any of the HoL greats. If he's here because he needs someone to bully, I'm sure the regulars here are happy to oblige in lopping off the tall poppy.

    Fair enough. But it is therapeutic.

    Ideally, Xiao would get banned simply for making this poll.

    That would satisfy the gods of irony.

    Indeed it would. :D

    As for roller, I voted no. He is a pain in the ass, but a good one. No, wait. Hmm, bad metaphor.

    The gods of irony and I have already settled their differences. I'd explain, but it involves me going into a long incoherent rant which is more obscenety than polite language and screaming until I either faint or shoot a redneck.

    When will it be learned that making polls doesn't work. If you want someone banned, behind-the-scene-work is required.

    Actually, it's more a way of finding out who would or would not try to stop me from hunting his ass down. If an admin actually does pay attention and banhammer the little worm, then it's just a bonus.

    A great big juicy bonus, the internet equivalent of a steak when all one was expecting was a wussy greek salad.

    Just because I'm nice doesn't mean I'm not up for a *little* butchering.

    Like I said, time will tell, when Roller gets too big for his skates and pisses off admin.

    Heh heh heh.

    I usually just hit the offender with a barrage of hatred until everyone gets on board.

    As for roller, I rarely stray from GD, so I wasn't aware of his existence.

    I've always thought 'roller' was a short for troller - pretty much all this guy is, obviously.

    Still, I'm simply for flaming the bastard every time he acts up and not feeding him otherwise - most likely he'll just go away on his own or will be assimilated like others that chose to stay.

    There have been many who started off wrong, gravedigging, picking fights or disregarding proper spelling. They all learned and either ran off or stopped acting up. No need to get the banhammer dirty.

    Fuck you. If I wanted to YouTube my worst moments I'd be a fucking retard. I prefer to keep my worst explosions limited to those that earnt them, thank you.

    (Having said which, the mood I'm in today... back the fuck off, boys, if you know what's good for you.)

    Fuck that whimpering shit. I'm not your pet dog or whatever. Amusement is amusement!

    And I've never, ever known or purposefully done what is good for me in the past. I don't see that changing anytime in the future.
